• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Paces pass catches in win

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Waddle brought in three of six targets for 57 yards and rushed once for minus-1 yard in the Dolphins' 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday night. Waddle tied Jonnu Smith for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in both receiving yards and targets. The fourth-year pro's yardage tally was his second highest of the season, with his 109-yard effort in Week 1 the only one to eclipse it. Waddle now has six targets in two of Tua Tagovailoa's first three games back from his IR stint, giving the wideout some momentum and an optimistic outlook heading into a Week 11 home matchup against the Raiders.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: WRs to Sit

  7D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Waddle had a wacky stat line in Week 9 at Buffalo with two catches for minus-4 yards and a touchdown on two targets. He didn't get a target until 2:34 remained in the fourth quarter, and he now has eight targets for six catches, 41 yards and a touchdown in two games since Tua Tagovailoa returned from his four-game absence with a concussion. Waddle hasn't scored more than 8.6 PPR points since Week 1, and the Dolphins are relying on Tyreek Hill and De'Von Achane more than Waddle in the passing game. I hope he breaks out of his slump in Week 10 against the Rams, who are No. 10 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, but I would only start Waddle in three-receiver leagues until he starts producing on a higher level consistently.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Snaps TD drought in loss

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Waddle caught both of his targets for minus-4 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills. Waddle wasn't targeted until just 2:34 remained in the fourth quarter, when he made a 12-yard catch to convert a third-and-7. He had an injury scare on the very next play, when Waddle stayed down after Damar Hamlin fell on his leg, but the wide receiver stayed in the game and proceeded to catch a game-tying seven-yard touchdown with 1:38 remaining. Unfortunately for Waddle's fantasy managers, he was credited with a 23-yard loss on the game's final play, as he got the ball on a lateral and ran backward to avoid a Bills defender, only to be tackled anyway. Waddle finally ended a touchdown drought that dated back to Week 15 of last season, but he's building a new infamous streak, with seven consecutive games of fewer than 50 receiving yards heading into a Week 10 MNF matchup against the Rams.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Stays quiet in Tua's return

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Waddle caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals. Waddle's fantasy managers had high hopes for a bounce back in Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) return, but Waddle put forth yet another subpar outing as the Dolphins fell to 2-5. After posting 109 receiving yards in Week 1 against the Jaguars, Waddle hasn't exceeded 46 yards in any subsequent game. He'll try to snap that unsavory streak in a Week 9 road game against the Bills.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Limited participant to begin Week 8

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Waddle was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a quadricep injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle still has two opportunities to upgrade to full practice participation, which would put him in position to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Meanwhile, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since Week 2, and the expectation is that he'll clear the five-step concussion protocol and return from injured reserve to start Sunday. Waddle would stand to benefit substantially from Tagovailoa's return under center. The receiver had 150 receiving yards across Tagovailoa's two starts this season, and just 119 receiving yards in the four games Tagovailoa missed.
