Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Snaps TD drought in loss
Jaylen 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
Jaylen 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 Miami 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: Cleared for Week 8 along with Tua
Jaylen Waddle (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals after being a full participant in practice Friday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.Waddle avoided an injury designation with an uncapped practice Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He has a nice opportunity to break out of his slump with Miami getting Tua Tagovailoa back under center for the first time since Week 2 after the starting quarterback cleared concussion protocol.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Another limited practice
Jaylen Waddle (quad) remained limited at practice Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.While Waddle maintained his practice level from Wednesday, Tyreek Hill was added to Miami's injury report Thursday after being limited by a foot injury. The duo's status thus is worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. If Waddle is available this weekend, his fantasy prospects could be looking up, with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) trending toward a return from IR.

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

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Nonfactor in Week 7 loss
Jaylen Waddle secured one of two targets for 11 yards during Miami's 16-10 loss to the Colts on Sunday.Waddle and Tyreek Hill combined for just two catches and 19 yards on four targets. Coming off a bye, the Miami Dolphins' offense turned in yet another miserable performance despite facing off against a vulnerable Colts secondary, with the mid-game departure of Tyler Huntley (shoulder) only compounding the issues for Miami's passing game. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be eligible to return from IR as early as Week 8 against the Cardinals, but it's unclear when Miami anticipates the franchise quarterback retaking the field. If one of Huntley, Tim Boyle or Skylar Thompson (ribs) is again under center versus Arizona, it will be difficult to trust any of the Dolphins' pass catchers for fantasy purposes.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Four grabs in win
Jaylen Waddle brought in four of eight targets for 46 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 15-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday.Waddle checked in tied for second in targets and third in both receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon for the Dolphins, flashing some improved chemistry with quarterback Tyler Huntley. The upside of Waddle and the other members of the Dolphins' air attack is naturally capped without Tua Tagovailoa (IR-concussion), but the fourth-year wideout heads into a Week 6 bye with no fewer than four receptions in any game this season, albeit while exceeding 41 receiving yards only once. Waddle will likely work with Huntley for at least one more game when the Dolphins face the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 20 following a Week 6 bye.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Team-high yardage total in loss
Jaylen Waddle secured four of six targets for 36 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.Miami's offense ironically got off on a very good foot with 30 yards over its first two plays, and Waddle accounted for 14 of those on the Dolphins' first play from scrimmage. However, much like the team as a whole, it would go on to be a quiet and largely unproductive night for Waddle, who did record an 18-yard grab in the fourth quarter but gained just four yards on his other two catches. Like fellow wideout Tyreek Hill, Waddle doesn't figure to come close to flashing his true potential while working with either Tyler Huntley or Skylar Thompson (ribs) as his quarterback, and he'll face a pair of talented Patriots cornerbacks in a Week 5 road matchup.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Another modest showing Sunday
Jaylen Waddle secured four of five targets for 26 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.Like his position mate Tyreek Hill, Waddle saw his considerable upside capped by having to play with Skylar Thompson (ribs), and upon the latter's exit from the contest, Tim Boyle, as his two quarterbacks. Waddle now has back-to-back four-reception outings, and he's netted a forgettable 67 receiving yards in that pair of contests. There's not much reason for optimism in the short term, either, as Tua Tagovailoa's (IR-concussion) future is in limbo and Thompson may have an uphill battle to be ready for a Week 4 Monday night home matchup against the Titans.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Four catches in Week 2 loss
Jaylen Waddle brought in all four targets for 41 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Miami Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.Considering how ineffective Tua Tagovailoa was in an injury-shortened three-interception performance and the fact Waddle was pulled from the game early due to the lopsided score, the fourth-year wideout's numbers weren't a complete washout. Waddle actually outproduced position mate Tyreek Hill (3-24-0) through the air, but his numbers still were a far cry from his 5-109-0 line Week 1 versus the Jaguars. Waddle will look to boost his numbers back up with either Tagovailoa or Skylar Thompson as his quarterback in a Week 3 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Sept. 22.
