The Miami Dolphins will face the Green Bay Packers in Week 13. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Jaylen Waddle in Week 13?
It’s possible we saw Jaylen Waddle unlocked last weekend against the Patriots. Not only did he give you 6.5 more points in a single game than he had in his previous three games, but our expected points metric backed up the spike performance (16.5 expected points; Weeks 1-11: 8.0 expected points per game).
Even more encouraging was the fact that the production didn’t come by accident — Waddle was responsible for 89 of Tua Tagovailoa’s first 159 passing yards in the victory, totaling 118 yards in the first half alone. His touchdown was scored on a play-action read where Tagovailoa zipped the ball into a tight window — it almost felt like 2023!
Of his 8-144-1 stat line, seven catches and 130 yards came when Miami wasn’t blitzed, something that figures to regularly be the case on Thursday night given that the Packers bring the heat at the sixth lowest rate.
I’m not willing to overlook the ugly first three months of this season for a single good game, but I do have Waddle tucked into the back end of my WR2 rankings this week, landing him in the same range as other turkey day pass catchers like Jayden Reed and Jameson Williams.
