Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Jaylen Waddle

Friday, October 10, 5:25 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen enters Week 6 as a clear high-floor option, leading the team with five catches on nine targets last week. The veteran faces a favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins' secondary, which has allowed the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers, a key area for Allen given his 23.1% target share. Allen is a high-volume receiver who often helps Justin Herbert by making difficult catches in crucial situations. If fellow wide receiver Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is limited or inactive, Allen's already high target share should only grow. RotoBaller ranks Allen as WR20 this week. He is a reliable low-end WR2 and should be started with confidence, especially in PPR formats.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle will have an opportunity to step up as the team's top receiver the rest of the season after Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the season in Week 4. In Week 5, Waddle delivered a big game, hauling in six of his nine targets for 110 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers. He set season highs in catches, targets, and yards, while scoring his third touchdown in the last four weeks. Waddle and the Dolphins will look to bounce back from last week's loss to Carolina, as they host the Chargers. The Chargers' defense has done a good job against receivers this season, but Deebo Samuel did light them up for eight catches, 96 yards, and a touchdown last week. Waddle should be primed for another high-volume game and is the WR17 in RotoBaller's Week 6 rankings.
