Tyreek Hill has cemented himself as a fantasy football stud who is rarely out of lineups, while Jaylen Waddle is a virtual must-start every week, despite lacking the consistency of his teammate.
However, Thursday Night Football can always make fantasy managers a little twitchy when it comes to starting players.
What can we expect from Hill and Waddle tonight as the Miami Dolphins take on the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium?
What Are Tyreek Hill’s Fantasy Projections, Rankings, and Profile for Week 2?
- Consensus Fantasy Ranking: WR1
- Fantasy Points (PPR): 23.3
- Receptions: 8.0
- Receiving Yards: 108.8
- Receiving TDs: 0.7
Hill is inevitable; it really is just that simple.
The eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver was detained pregame and missed on a potential 51-yard touchdown in the early going. With the Jacksonville Jaguars playing well, it seemed like the season opener was going to be a dud.
If you blinked, you missed Hill running a crosser and speeding away from every Jaguar for an 80-yard touchdown. Steph Curry doesn’t make every shot, and Scottie Scheffler doesn’t hit every fairway, but over the course of a game/tournament, they get there.
Hill is that, and when weather isn’t an issue, this Miami offense is as reliable as any in the league.
Everyone knows where the targets are going in this offense, and they simply can’t stop it. You should never hesitate to play your Dolphins, especially in a game that is expected to be tight and in front of the Miami faithful.
What Are Jaylen Waddle’s Fantasy Projections, Rankings, and Profile for Week 2?
- Consensus Fantasy Ranking: WR15
- Fantasy Points (PPR): 13.9
- Receptions: 4.9
- Receiving Yards: 66.5
- Receiving TDs: 0.3
I was hopeful that Waddle’s speed would take away the defender’s angle on his 63-yard reception last week. He was unable to find paydirt, though the ability to land a splash play was a good reminder that this is a WR1 in a WR2’s role.
Waddle was dinged up early and only managed a 13.9% target share last week. Things went as poorly as they could for him, and he was still fine. You’re playing him as a WR2 in all formats every single week.
