Fantasy Football Start’em, Sit’em Lineup Advice
After two games, Tyreek Hill is the WR29 in fantasy points per game while seeing a 20.6% target share with a 42.9% air-yard share with 2.87 yards per route run and a 23.1% first-read share. Hill is still looking for his first red zone target of the 2025 season. Hill could have another strong game, but it could be Jaylen Waddle leading the way for the Miami passing attack this week. The Bills have the ninth-highest two-high rate (56.6%). This season, against two high, Hill has seen his target share dip to 19.5% with 2.05 yards per route run and a 19.2% first-read share (second on the team). He still gets to square off against a secondary that has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers, so I’m not ruling out a strong stat line for Hill against Buffalo.
After a wet fart stat line in Week 1, Jaylen Waddle was the WR14 in fantasy in Week 2. Miami STILL needs to feature him in the passing attack more consistently, which could be the case in Week 3. Overall, Waddle has a 17.5% target share, 1.88 yards per route run, and a 25.6% first-read share. He leads the team with two red zone targets. Waddle could lead the way for Miami through the air this week. The Bills have the ninth-highest two-high rate (56.6%). This season, against two high, Waddle has seen his target share increase to 19.5% with 2.51 yards per route run and a 26.9% first-read share (leads the team). If Tua Tagovailoa can play close to last week’s level, Waddle should have a nice week. Buffalo has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
After seeing only a 55.8% route share in Week 1, Dalton Kincaid looked like he could be in store for an expanded role in Week 2, but the gamescript crushed him. The Bills smothered the Jets in a blowout, and their starters’ usage was muddied as they benched them in the second half. In the first half, Kincaid had a 70% route share, so we could see that the playing time threshold comes to fruition in Week 3 if Miami can keep this game competitive. Overall, Kincaid has a 21% target per route run rate, 1.81 yards per route run, and a 13.6% first-read share. He is also tied for the team lead in red zone targets (two). Kincaid and Khalill Shakir could be the receiving threats that Josh Allen leans on this week. The Dolphins have allowed the tenth-highest yards per reception and the 12th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
