JaylenWaddle

News: 6 days agoWaddle brought in three of six targets for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Spin: Waddle finished with the second-most receiving yards on the afternoon for the Dolphins after a slow start, and he also set the pace in targets. Waddle's yardage total, his lowest since Week 7, wasn't as extraordinary when considering Tua Tagovailoa passed for only 157 yards overall on the day. Waddle should remain a key part of the air attack in a Week 14 road matchup against the Jets.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Waddle enters his fifth NFL season after a somewhat inexplicable down year in 2024. Granted, he wasn't fully healthy at times (and missed two games), but Waddle's target share dipped from 20%-plus during his first three seasons to 16% last season (56th among WRs). He posted career-low marks in every key category and ranked 52nd in fantasy PPG after finishing 21st or better in each of his first three seasons. Same as Tyreek Hill, Waddle seemingly suffered from Miami facing two-high safeties at a league-high rate, and with both back for 2025, we may see more of the same. Waddle has the talent to allow a bounce-back campaign (especially with Hill entering his age-31 season), but he can't be trusted as more than a WR3.
