Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Rashod Bateman

Monday, December 8, 7:54 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle secured five of his team-high seven targets to lead the team in receiving yards with 50 and also scored the only receiving touchdown of the day for Miami in the team's 34-10 triumph in New York. Waddle has six scores this season, and he continues to operate as the team's clear No. 1 receiver with Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the year. Waddle is up to 812 yards with four games remaining, so if he stays healthy, he has a good shot to get to 1,000 yards for the fourth time in his five NFL seasons. He'll be a solid play going forward, even though the Dolphins are a low-volume, low-risk pass offense at this point.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially questionable for Week 15 after being a non-participant during Friday's practice session. Bateman popped up with an ankle injury on Thursday's injury report. It appears to be serious enough to put his status in danger for the upcoming rematch against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Bateman has been a non-factor in fantasy formats for most of the season in a Ravens offense that has been a shell of its explosive 2024 self. If he sits out, DeAndre Hopkins and Devontez Walker would likely see expanded roles behind Zay Flowers. Neither wideout can be trusted as a starting option in 12-team fantasy formats for Week 15. The 26-year-old Bateman has only 18 receptions in 11 games in 2025 for 217 yards and two touchdowns.
