Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Malik Nabers

Wednesday, October 22, 5:59 PM

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Miami Dolphins are getting calls on wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, but don't "have plans to trade him at this point." With Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the season with a torn ACL, Waddle is a "building block who can translate to any offense." He is due $36 million over 2025-26, which represents a reasonable price for a player of his caliber at his position. ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that Waddle's contract makes him a bit difficult to trade, so the odds are that he'll stay put in Miami this season as their top wideout without Hill in the fold. Miami's offense went off the rails in Week 7 against a tough Cleveland Browns defense, and Waddle had only one catch for 15 yards on four targets. However, the two weeks prior, he went off for 12 catches (17 targets) for 205 yards and a touchdown as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's top target. Waddle will remain a volume-based WR2/3 in fantasy if he sticks with the Dolphins through this year's trade deadline.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) has begun the prehab process ahead of his ACL surgery in a few weeks. That means, Nabers is working on regaining mobility and strength around his knee. This seems like a positive development, but Nabers still has a long road ahead of him. There's no way the Giants can fill the type of production that Nabers brought to the team. The assumption is that Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton should be the primary receiving options now. The hope is that Nabers can return early next season.
