Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Jaylen Waddle

Monday, September 18, 12:53 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy made his 2023 season debut for the Broncos in Week 2 against the visiting Washington Commanders after being held out of the season opener due to a hamstring injury. In his return, Jeudy was very quiet, catching just three of five targets for 25 yards. Rookie Marvin Mims Jr. and Brandon Johnson combined for four catches, 179 yards and three touchdowns out of nowhere with quarterback Russell Wilson cooking on a losing effort. Fantasy managers couldn't have been too stoked about this outing, but the silver lining is that Jeudy was still second on the team in targets with five, two behind leader Courtland Sutton. As the 24-year-old former first-rounder moves further away from his hammy injury, his production and time on the field should only increase.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, and the Dolphins aren't going to rush him along. "I'm just I'm not really worried about the timeline," head coach Mike McDaniel said. "I'm more worried about him getting right." It means there's a very real chance he won't suit up in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos. If Waddle were to miss Sunday's home opener, it would mean more targets for Braxton Berrios, River Cracraft and/or Erik Ezukanma behind All-Pro Tyreek Hill. It could also mean Cedrick Wilson Jr. will be active for the first time this year. Waddle has two more days to try to clear the concussion protocol, but fantasy managers should be making backup plans this weekend already just in case.
