Week 13 WR/CB Matchups: Waddle-ing all over the Saints

Since Jaylen Waddle took over WR1 duties in Miami after the Week 5 injury to Tyreek Hill, the Alabama product has at least 6 targets per game all but once. Chris Allen also points out how much the added volume has translated into production and fantasy points:

“Of course, our main focus should be the first five columns. Since Waddle’s ‘promotion,’ he ranks 18th among all WRs in target share. There hasn’t been a game where he hasn’t led the Dolphins’ pass catchers in air yards. However, for Week 13, how often Tua Tagovailoa looks for him on play-action caught my eye. Because when I started digging into the Saints’ defense, the data suggests that they’ve been susceptible to progressive play calling in the past.”

Chris goes into more detail on why Waddle is a great play against the Saints this week. He also drops plenty of knowledge on some of the best WR/CB matchups—and one to be wary of—for Week 13. ⤵️

Chris Rodriguez and More Late-Week Streamers

Much as we wanted the Bill phenomenon to become a thing in DC, it’s Chris Rodriguez who is emerging as the RB to roster for the foreseeable future as the Commanders are getting healthy. This week, Jonathan Fuller recommends Rodriguez even though he’s facing one of the best defenses in the NFL:

“The matchup in Week 13 is tough with the Commanders taking on the Broncos, but Rodriguez should see double-digit carries and handle the goal-line work, which makes him startable if you have a hole at your RB2 spot. More importantly, his outlook for the rest of the season is solid as Washington is likely to continue to lean on the running game and has more favorable matchups against the Vikings (Week 14), Giants (Week 15) and Cowboys (Week 17) still remaining on the schedule.”

Jonathan offers up more players who are still available in over 50% of leagues, including another RB who is looking at an increased workload starting this week. ⤵️
