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 WRs Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle day-to-day

Sun Sentinel

Aug 12 · 1:01 PM EDT

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle remain day-to-day as the team shifts from Chicago to Detroit on its 11-day preseason trip through the Midwest.

While the team’s top two receivers sat as most other starters played in Sunday’s preseason opener at the Chicago Bears, Hill and Waddle could see reps against the Lions in joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday.

“They’re definitely in the conversation, for sure,” McDaniel said of their prospects of practicing against the Lions.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Hill was revealed last week to be dealing with an oblique injury as he was sidelined for the joint session with the Bears on Friday and then Sunday’s exhibition. The story added Waddle was involved in the practice and took a hard hit from Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson.

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.
