Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Zay Flowers

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.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (shoulder), who was listed as questionable for the Week 6 game against the visiting Los Angeles Rams, is officially active for Sunday's contest. Flowers was limited in practice all week but will suit up as the Ravens look to avoid falling to 1-5 on the season. They'll have to do it without star quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) for the second straight week, which won't be easy against L.A. Flowers caught all five of his targets for 72 yards in last week's blowout loss to the Houston Texans, with quarterback Cooper Rush making the start. It wasn't a bad showing for fantasy purposes, all things considered, but expecting a repeat of that performance from Flowers might be wishful thinking this weekend. He's definitely a fade candidate in DFS, and fantasy managers might want to consider benching him in regular leagues, too, as he's expected to play fewer snaps as he battles through his shoulder injury.
