Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Ladd McConkey

Friday, November 28, 6:18 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle will be coming off his bye week this Sunday for a home game against the Saints. Waddle has been a huge part of the Dolphins' recent surge and emerged as a reliable starter every week. The 27-year-old had over 80 yards five times in his last seven games and has hauled in three touchdowns during that span as well. Waddle has at least six targets in nine of his last 10 games and is averaging 65.6 receiving yards per game. With 6.6 targets per game, he's getting plenty of looks from Tua Tagovailoa, and he's the WR9 in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings in what should be a favorable spot against the Saints.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey seems poised for a strong bounce-back week after a quiet performance in Week 11, where he caught three passes for 13 yards on four targets in the team's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. McConkey faces a struggling Las Vegas Raiders defense that ranks middle-of-the-road against the pass. The Raiders rely heavily on zone coverage, which benefits McConkey since he has a higher rate of fantasy points per target against zone than man coverage. With quarterback Justin Herbert struggling behind a battered offensive line, McConkey could see more quick, short targets to compensate for Herbert's limited time in the pocket. RotoBaller ranks McConkey as WR14 this week, and he should be considered a mid-tier WR2 who will be a primary focus in the passing game.
