Draft note

by John Paulsen

Waddle took a step back in 2024, averaging just 4.1 catches for 58 yards and 0.20 touchdowns on 5.3 targets in 10 games with Tua Tagovailoa—production that landed him in WR4 territory on a per-game basis. That’s a far cry from the high-end WR2 output he posted in 2022-23, when he averaged 4.8 catches for 79 yards and 0.44 touchdowns in 27 games with Tagovailoa. The question heading into 2025 is whether Waddle can recapture that earlier chemistry. His talent remains undeniable, but the Dolphins’ passing game cooled off last season, and with Tyreek Hill recovering from offseason surgeries, defenses may focus more attention on Waddle. He has the skill set to bounce back, but fantasy managers drafting him as a WR3 are betting on a return to form that’s no longer guaranteed.

Dolphins sign WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to two-year deal

Mike Garafolo

Mar 12 · 10:02 AM EDT

The Dolphins have agreed to terms with WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine on a two-year, $6.5 million deal with $3.2 million guaranteed.

Coming off a career-high nine receiving TDs last season, NWI is on his way to Miami.

Related Players: Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington

Fantasy Impact:

Westbrook-Ikhine has popped from time to time over the last couple of seasons, but he did so on a Titans team severely lacking in wide receiver depth. Even if he were to lock down a WR3 role in Miami, the target share is thin behind Hill and Waddle.

MIA WR Jaylen Waddle - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Cleveland Browns

After missing last week, Jaylen Waddle is back in the lineup this week. The matchup is solid as Cleveland is 22nd aFPA against wide receivers, but the one blow up week Waddle had feels like a distant memory. It's been more weeks behind Tyreek Hill and De'Von Achane in the target pecking order than in front of them. Waddle has fallen to WR45 overall in projections this week, which makes him a flex at best. I would be looking elsewhere.
