• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Gains 50 yards Sunday

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Waddle (knee) brought in four of nine targets for 44 yards while taking his lone carry for six yards in Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets. Waddle successfully returned from a knee injury Sunday that cost him two weeks of game action. The star wideout had mixed results, catching just 44 percent of his targets for 44 yards. The lack of efficiency can be explained by possibly playing at less than 100 percent, in addition to the poor quarterback play of backup Tyler Huntley with Tua Tagovailoa (hip) sitting this one out. Waddle posted the worst receiving line of his professional career in 2024, finishing with 58 receptions for 744 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games played. With news of Tyreek Hill wanting out of Miami following Sunday's ugly defeat, Waddle could be in store for a huge jump in usage in 2025 if that scenario plays out.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Active versus Jets

  01/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  Waddle (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets. Waddle, who missed Miami's last two games, practiced fully Friday before approaching Week 18 action listed as questionable. In his return to action, Waddle will combine with Tyreek Hill to give QB Tyler Huntley (starting once again in place of Tua Tagovailoa/hip) a pair of quality wideout options in Miami's must-win regular-season finale. In 14 games thus far, Waddle has put up a 54/700/2 receiving line on 74 targets.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Questionable but likely to play

  01/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  Waddle (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports, but coach Mike McDaniel expressed optimism to Furones on Friday regarding Waddle's availability. McDaniel's optimism is supported by Waddle practicing without limitations Friday. Waddle's looking to return from a two-game absence for a Dolphins team that can sneak into the playoffs with a win and a Broncos loss to the Chiefs. If Waddle suits up, he'll likely be catching passes from backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, as Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is considered doubtful.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Another limited practice

  01/02/2025 • By RotoWire

  Waddle (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, Waddle, who has missed two straight games, appeared to be moving pretty well at practice Thursday. However, Waddle probably will need to practice fully Friday -- as fellow WR Tyreek Hill (wrist/rest) did Thursday -- in order to approach Sunday's must-win regular-season finale against the Jets without an injury designation.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Limited in practice

  01/01/2025 • By RotoWire

  Waddle (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel expressed optimism Monday about Waddle's chances of returning from a two-game absence for the regular-season finale Sunday against the Jets. Malik Washington has filled in capably the past two weeks while topping 80 percent snap shares in consecutive games, but it would still be a huge boost for the Dolphins to get Waddle back in the lineup as they fight for a wild-card spot on the final day of the season. Waddle previously managed limited practice participation Thursday and Friday last week before being listed as questionable and ultimately made inactive ahead of last Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.
