Jaylen Waddle

Week 8 vs. New England Patriots

Jaylen Waddle had another solid outing last week, finishing 6-63 on six targets. Waddle hasn't been as dominant as his teammate Tyreek Hill this season, but he's still putting up solid numbers. Waddle has at least four receptions in every game, and at least 50 yards in all but two games this year. He'll draw a tough matchup against the Patriots this week (9th aFPA) although he saw some success against New England back in Week 2 when he finished 4-86. Waddle should be viewed as a low-end WR2 or a strong WR3 option in Week 8 against the Patriots. Waddle would be bumped up if Hill is unable to go due to an ankle injury.

Week 6 vs. Carolina Panthers

Jaylen Waddle saw a team-high 10 targets last week, but he wasn't very efficient with five catches for 35 yards. On the plus side, though, he was able to score his first touchdown of the season. It's a small sample size, but Waddle hasn't been as effective after his injury that forced him to miss Week 3. In the first two games he averaged 82 yards per game and in the two games since he's averaged 40.5. On the season, he's averaging 18.5 yards less per game compared to last year. But like we said, it's a sample size, and Waddle is still a very talented wideout in the most productive offense in the league so far. He doesn't get a great matchup against the Panthers this week (7th aFPA), but he should still be viewed as a decent WR2 in Week 6.

Week 4 at Buffalo Bills

Jaylen Waddle missed out on the Dolphins' 70-point scoring frenzy in Week 3 as he was inactive with a concussion. Waddle got in a full practice Wednesday this week, though, so he appears to be trending towards playing in Week 4. In the first two games this season, Waddle was off to a strong start with lines of 4-78 and 4-86. He does draw a tough matchup in his return, though, as Buffalo has given up the 3rd-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. Although last season, Waddle topped 100 receiving yards in both of his games against the Bills. Assuming Waddle is active, he should be viewed as a solid WR1 option in Week 4.
