Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Puka Nacua

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has been one of the top performers in training camp, according to the Miami Herald's Omar Kelly, who calls Waddle the "new top dawg." Since Tyreek Hill (wrist) is working his way back after two offseason surgeries, Waddle has taken advantage of his chance to work with Tua Tagovailoa. Tua said that he and Waddle have grown their chemistry, and coach Mike McDaniel has pointed to Waddle's offseason work as exemplary. If Waddle can pass Hill for more looks and opportunities in the Dolphins' passing game, he could end up being a top-10 receiver in fantasy football. He has an extremely high ceiling, and brings the potential to be a "top dawg" for your fantasy team this season as well.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua said on the "Join The Lobby" podcast that he would like to retire from the NFL at the age of 30. It would mean that the 23-year-old (24 in May) pass-catcher would have six or seven more years of football left in him. After being selected in the fifth round (177th overall) in 2023, Nacua has been lights-out his first two professional seasons with a combined 184 catches on 266 targets for 2,476 yards and nine touchdowns in 28 regular-season starts. Barring an injury, he should be an elite receiver in the NFL for years to come, especially now that Cooper Kupp is no longer in L.A. Nacua did miss five games in the first half of the 2025 campaign due to a knee injury, but on a per-game basis, he was even more productive for fantasy managers. Even with Davante Adams essentially replacing Kupp, Nacua should be a target hog and a strong WR1 target in fantasy drafts.
