Should You Start or Sit Jaylen Waddle in Week 7?
At this point, Waddle is the equivalent of holding a savings bond. You could cash it in now if you’re in need (7-9 PPR points), but waiting for the maturation date is the optimal usage if you have the luxury.
Waddle will move into my top 25 the second Tua Tagovailoa is cleared to return — but not a second before. He’s yet to finish a week as a top-45 receiver since his starting quarterback got injured.
While this matchup would indicate a reason for hope if this passing game remains concentrated (every time a receiver has seen at least eight targets against the Colts this season, he’s cleared 15 PPR points), the low floor stands to impact your matchup more than the concept of a ceiling stands to help you.
