Okay, so I’ve been wrestling with this all week: Jaylen Waddle or DeAndre Hopkins for my fantasy lineup? It’s a tough one, and honestly, I’ve gone back and forth like a hundred times. Finally, I hunkered down and did some digging.
First, I looked at their recent performance. Waddle, man, he’s been heating up! I noticed his targets and catches have been steadily going up over the past few weeks. That got me thinking, “Okay, this guy is trending in the right direction.”
Then I checked out Hopkins. He is, well, Hopkins. A solid receiver, always a threat. But… I saw that his numbers weren’t quite as explosive as Waddle’s lately. Still good, mind you, but not that eye-popping stuff.
Next, I peeked at their matchups for this week. I checked out a few websites with weekly player rankings and projections, and found both have difficult matchups this week.
- Looked at Waddle’s recent game logs.
- Compared his targets and receptions to Hopkins’.
- Checked out expert rankings and projections.
After staring at all this stuff, I started leaning towards Waddle. It wasn’t an easy decision, like flipping a coin almost, but that upward trend in his production? I couldn’t ignore it. Hopkins is a dependable, and I like dependable, but Waddle felt like he had more potential this week.
So, I swapped Waddle into my starting lineup. It felt a little risky, going with the less established guy, but my gut (and those numbers!) told me it was the right move. We’ll see how it plays out!
