2. Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins (vs. NYG)

Jaylen Waddle has emerged as a legitimate fantasy football starter after showing signs of upside early in the season. Since Week 9, Waddle is the WR6 in fantasy football scoring, finishing higher than guys such as Cooper Kupp, Davante Adams, and Tyreek Hill. His 8.7 targets per game marks elite usage, and is 12th among wide receivers. Waddle has gone from a rookie flashing upside to a reliable and elite weapon in Miami’s offense.

This week, Waddle gets an easy matchup with the New York Giants, who allow the 243.7 passing yards per game, which ranks around the middle of the league. Waddle has proved matchup proof, however, as he just posted 137 yards and a touchdown against the top-ranked pass defense in Carolina. Waddle ranks as a high-end WR2 this week, and has a very safe weekly floor.
