Tua Tagovailoa is my Start of the Week for Week 14, so naturally I should be excited about his pass catchers. Tyreek Hill, Jonnu Smith and De’Von Achane are must-start Fantasy options, but what about Jaylen Waddle?
The safe answer is to call him a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues. He scored at least 11.3 PPR points in each of his past two games against New England and Green Bay, but that’s the only time this season he’s reached double digits in PPR in consecutive games this season.
He’s topped 60 receiving yards just twice, he has more than four receptions just twice and he only has two touchdowns on the season. And this week, he’s facing a Jets defense that is No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers.
But Sauce Gardner (hamstring) is likely out in Week 14, and four receivers have scored at least 11.9 PPR points against the Jets in the past four games. Waddle also destroyed the Jets in two games last season with 16 catches for 256 yards and a touchdown on 17 targets, and he scored at least 19.4 PPR points in each outing.
Will that version of Waddle show up in Week 14? That’s hard to expect given his body of work in 2024. Your best bet is to start him in three-receiver leagues, and maybe he can surprise us with a rare dominant game at home.
