Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Kyren Williams

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was the star of the show during organized team activities on Wednesday, according to the Miami Herald's Omar Kelly. Waddle had career-lows across the board in catches (58), targets (83), receiving yards (744) and touchdowns (two) in 15 starts in his fourth NFL season in 2024 in a Dolphins offense that lacked the explosive plays they became so well-known for the previous two years. The 26-year-old still has plenty of speed to spare, but because of his down season in 2024, he has fallen down draft boards early on this offseason. The former sixth overall pick has the ability to bounce back for fantasy managers in 2025, but it could depend on Miami's offensive-line play and the health of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Waddle is no longer being considered a WR1 and could even be a shaky WR2 asset, depending on how the Dolphins' offense rebounds.

Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports that Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay indicates progress has been made towards a possible extension with running back Kyren Williams. Klein also noted that there has been no update on the situation with defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Williams has been hopeful of a contract for some time now, as he looks for his pay to match his production. The Notre Dame product has new backfield competition with LA's selection of rookie Jarquez Hunter (whom they traded up for). However, it's unlikely he'll lose his stranglehold on the backfield's touches, or even that Hunter will surpass second-year teammate Blake Corum. It's still in the cards that Williams doesn't receive a long-term deal, but he'll be among the best fantasy backs again this season, and well worth an early draft pick.
