Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Travis Hunter

Monday, October 13, 10:10 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle posted another solid game in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Miami's second full game since losing wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) for the season. Waddle led the Dolphins with eight targets and hauled in six catches for 95 yards. The 26-year-old has now recorded 29 catches for 390 yards and three touchdowns on 40 targets through six games this season. In the two games without Hill, Waddle has been much better, recording 12 catches for 205 yards and a score on 17 targets. He profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver, although Waddle and the Dolphins will have a tough matchup in Week 7 when they travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen stated the team plans to expand rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter's role moving forward, utilizing his elite speed and athleticism more frequently within the offense. The second overall pick has caught 20 of 31 targets for 197 yards but has yet to find the end zone in his debut season. Despite early frustrations for fantasy managers, Coen's comments suggest an uptick in volume could be coming soon. Hunter's versatility as both a wide receiver and cornerback makes him one of the league's most dynamic young players, and additional touches could quickly boost his fantasy value. Managers in deeper leagues may want to hold tight, as Hunter's breakout could be on the horizon.
