The Miami Dolphins will face the Houston Texans in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Jaylen Waddle.
Is Jaylen Waddle Playing in Week 15?
It seems like Waddle is always dealing with some sort of ailment. His most recent malady is a hamstring issue. Waddle was limited all three days but is not listed on the final injury report.
We’ll continue to monitor the Dolphins’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jaylen Waddle in Week 15?
The 20.9 PPR points from Waddle were encouraging, but the result is not what has my attention. He posted 20.3 expected fantasy points on the back of strong volume (12 targets after averaging five targets per game over his previous six contests) and the elite execution of timing routes was promising (nine catches on 10 targets that came less than 15 yards downfield).
This — this is the Waddle we drafted with confidence over the summer, and those who held onto this stock appear positioned to benefit greatly at the perfect time.
I prefer Tyreek Hill this week by a decent amount (I had them ranked within seven spots last week) because I think he has more of a ceiling upside in a matchup against the best defense in terms of sub-15-air-yard completion percentage, but considering that only the Falcons allow touchdown passes at a higher rate than the Texans this season, there’s enough food for both of these stars to eat.
