Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Jaylen Waddle

Saturday, December 6, 9:17 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin had an excellent performance in his return to action in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos after missing significant time due to a quadriceps injury. McLaurin recorded seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown while matching a career high with 14 targets. Star quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) will return on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, and his dynamic skill set should provide a boost to McLaurin and the entire Washington offense. The 30-year-old wideout has been riddled by injury this season, playing in just five games while recording 20 receptions for 299 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets, with both touchdowns coming in his past two games. It's a tougher matchup on Sunday against a Vikings defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards per game, but McLaurin figures to be heavily involved again. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR22 in PPR leagues in Week 14.

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.
