| Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | 2022 was a weird season for Waddle. After starting the year as one of the best options in fantasy alongside his teammate Tyreek Hill, injuries to both Waddle and Tua Tagovailoa hindered his production. For fantasy, this was frustrating as he either gave you less than 10 fantasy points or more than 20 with few in between. He is clearly one of the best young WRs in this league, but weighing in Tua's health concerns moves him behind Tee Higgins. for me | Finishing each of the last two seasons in the top-24 at the position, despite missing games in both seasons confirms that Higgins has the ability to be a lead NFL WR. Last season, if you remove the four games that he was hurt and played >30% of snaps he averaged 13.9 fantasy points. That would have placed him as the WR-nine if points per game behind Ceedee Lamb and ahead of Amon-Ra St. Brown. Obviously, some of his games were inflated by Ja'Marr Chase missing time, but there is plenty to go around. I am expecting the Bengals to pass more this season, and if Higgins stays healthy he could be a surprise top-10 WR. |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | Thanks to major increase in YPC (from 9.8 to 18.1), bested his rookie half-PPR numbers despite 29 fewer catches with Tyreek Hill in mix | Has established a very safe WR2 floor of 70 catches, 1000 yards and 6 TDs, unfortunately the ceiling isn't much higher |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Jaylen Waddle enjoyed an explosive sophomore season as the underneath complement to Tyreek Hill in the Dolphins' high-flying aerial attack. Waddle was the WR12 in fantasy, ranking tenth in YAC, seventh in receiving yards, and 11th in total touchdowns. Waddle was also fourth in yards per route run and third in fantasy points per target. He's an ascending alpha wide receiver who could easily lead the Dolphins in receiving in 2023 if Tyreek Hill shows any signs of slowing down. Invest in second and third-year wide receivers always. This is the way. | Tee Higgins saw declines across the board last season as he fell from WR12 in fantasy points per game to WR26. His final stat lines look eerily similar, but we must remember he accomplished his 2021 accolades in only 14 games. Higgins saw declines in his PFF receiving grade (82.8 vs. 78.8), target share (23.9% vs. 18.6%), and yards per route run (2.18 vs. 1.80 per PFF). In 2021 Higgins competed with Ja'Marr Chase as the complimentary co-lead of the Bengals' passing attack, but we saw that change in 2022. After Chase returned in Week 13, he saw a 29.6% target share and 38.3% air yard share, while Higgins lagged at 20.2% and 31.1%. With Chase distancing himself more from Higgins in the pecking order, Higgins is best valued as a WR2 in 2023. |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Waddle had to compete with Tyreek Hill for targets, and still finished with 70 receptions for 1,312 yards, and 8 TDs. Waddle is one of the best deep threats in the NFL and he should have low-end WR1 value, as long as Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy in 2023. | Higgins posted 74 receptions for 1,035 yards and 7 TDs in 14 fantasy games. Higgins should be a low-end WR1 playing on one of the best passing offenses in the NFL. |
