Jaylen Waddle Returns Versus Bills
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) returned to Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. He exited during the first quarter and was initially listed as questionable to return. Now, the second-year wideout has checked back into the contest and will look to bounce back from a frustrating start in which he was unable to haul in either of his two targets.
Jan 15, 2023 • 7:08 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Questionable To Return Sunday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) is questionable to return against the Buffalo Bills. Waddle exited during the first quarter of Sunday's Wild Card game after failing to catch a pass on the right sideline. Prior to departing, the second-year wideout had zero receptions on two targets. Trent Sherfield should step into the No. 2 receiver role (alongside Tyreek Hill) until Waddle can return.
Jan 15, 2023 • 6:52 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Will Play In Week 18
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final injury report. He will suit up on Sunday in the Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Jets. Waddle put in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday. The Dolphins need to win and get some help this weekend in order to secure the AFC's final playoff spot, so Miami is playing all their starters. However, the 24-year-old pass-catcher's fantasy ceiling and floor will be lowered with third-string rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson making only his second NFL start with both Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) and Teddy Bridgewater (finger, knee) injured. Taking passes from Bridgewater and Thompson last week, Waddle caught three passes for 52 yards.
Jan 6, 2023 • 10:37 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Back To A Full Practice Thursday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (leg) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday with a fibula injury. The return to a full practice on Thursday is a good sign that Waddle will be a full-go in Week 14 on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers after leaving the game briefly in the Week 13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old caught just one of his five targets for nine yards in last week's loss, but that can be chalked up as an outlier with the second-year pass-catcher getting injured in the contest. Expect him to bounce back if he's fully healthy this weekend. In half-point PPR leagues in 2022, Waddle has been the WR9 with 57 receptions (89 targets) for 972 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games.
Dec 9, 2022 • 4:39 AM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Limited Wednesday With Fibula Injury
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (leg) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He briefly exited last Sunday's game against the 49ers but was able to return. The 24-year-old was limited to start the week with a fibula injury and will have two more chances to log a full practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Chargers. The former first-round pick has been terrific this season, catching 57 passes for 972 yards and six touchdowns over 12 games in 2022. Waddle remains a must-start in all league formats despite the tough matchup against a Chargers defense that ranks second in DVOA versus opposing WR2s.
Dec 8, 2022 • 2:43 AM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Makes It Back On Sunday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (leg) returned in the second half of Sunday's meeting against the 49ers. The wideout suffered a leg injury and briefly exited for X-rays. However, while it's good news Waddle made it back out there, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he carries an injury designation heading into the Week 14 matchup versus the Los Angeles Chargers.
Dec 4, 2022 • 11:26 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Questionable To Return On Sunday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (leg) is questionable to return to Sunday's meeting with the 49ers. The wideout suffered a leg injury, although fortunately, he was able to job off the field when going for X-rays. Fantasy managers are certainly anxiously awaiting an update on this one. However, if Waddle doesn't make it back, he'll finish the day by catching none of his four targets.
Dec 4, 2022 • 10:32 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Puts In A Full Practice
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) was able to practice in full on Wednesday. Waddle has been limited in practice to begin the week recently, so he appears to be getting close to full health heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Chicago Bears on the road. The 23-year-old second-year wideout has topped 100 yards receiving four times this year, including in two of the last three weeks, and has found the end zone five times in eight games in 2022. The presence of All-Pro Tyreek Hill hasn't hurt his fantasy value like many were worried about, and he remains a must-start this weekend. Waddle is the WR4 in half-point PPR leagues at this juncture.
Nov 3, 2022 • 12:26 AM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Limited On Wednesday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. The second-year wide receiver has started out the week labeled as questionable, but there is a decent shot that he will be ready for Week 8. Waddle dealt with the same shoulder issue leading up to Miami's Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he continued to be a major factor in their offense. Keep an eye on Waddle's status as the week progresses, but this report shouldn't worry fantasy managers as of now.
Oct 27, 2022 • 4:37 AM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Active Against Pittsburgh
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game versus the Steelers. Waddle was considered questionable heading into this one after practicing in a limited capacity throughout the week. The 23-year-old had a stellar Week 6 showing against the Vikings, finishing with six catches for 129 yards. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) back in the lineup, Waddle's ceiling is higher than it's been in quite some time.
Oct 23, 2022 • 11:10 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Listed As Questionable
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) was limited at practice on Friday, his third straight session with the designation. As a result, he's considered questionable heading into Week 7 against Pittsburgh. Had the wideout practiced in full, fantasy managers would have a reason to be optimistic. Waddle is coming off one of his best performances of the year, compiling six catches for 129 yards versus the Vikings in Week 6. With Miami losing its previous three games, the Fins will certainly do everything to get him out there on Sunday. But if Waddle can't go, Tyreek Hill, who leads the Dolphins in receiving this season, will likely get even more attention, while tight end Mike Gesicki, who is tied for a team-high three receiving touchdowns, would be a hit-or-miss fantasy option.
Oct 22, 2022 • 2:10 AM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Gets Another Limited Tag
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) was limited again in practice on Thursday. There's nothing to suggest that Waddle will be in danger of missing the Week 7 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. He's coming off his third 100-yard game of the season in the Week 6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 23-year-old second-year wideout already has 30 catches on 49 targets for 533 yards and three touchdowns in six games in 2022. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is returning from his concussion as well, so both Waddle and Tyreek Hill are must-starts in fantasy football starting lineups against a Pittsburgh defense that has given up a lot of yards so far this year.
Oct 20, 2022 • 11:48 PM | RotoBallerDolphins Optimistic Jaylen Waddle Will Play Sunday Night
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he doesn't expect to see much from wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) in practice on Wednesday, but McDaniel also said he's optimistic that Waddle will play on Sunday night in Week 7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Waddle will likely be limited in Wednesday's practice session, but it's looking like Miami expects him to play this weekend. The 23-year-old second-year wideout had his third 100-yard game of the season in the Week 6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, going for six catches (10 targets) and 129 yards. When healthy, he's a must-start in fantasy lineups, especially with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) set to return as the starter this week.
Oct 19, 2022 • 4:01 PM | RotoBallerBarring A Setback, Jaylen Waddle Will Play In Week 5
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin) will play in Week 5 against the Jets, barring a setback, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. While there was a chance the wideout would miss this one after logging two-straight limited practices during the week, he didn't appear to be in any real danger of sitting out on Sunday. Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) is also forecasted to be in the lineup, so that's even better news. However, Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) won't play, forcing Waddle to catch throws from Teddy Bridgewater. But the veteran is a capable signal-caller, so Waddle should remain in all starting lineups.
Oct 9, 2022 • 5:29 AM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Practices Thursday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin) was back at practice on Thursday after being held out of the team's Wednesday session. This bodes well for his availability in Week 5 against the Jets, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status at Friday's practice. With Tua Tagovailoa (head, neck) ruled out, Waddle's outlook isn't as encouraging with Teddy Bridgewater under center. We saw him gravitate towards Tyreek Hill when he entered in Week 4, so the sophomore figures to be more of a low-end WR2 this week.
Oct 6, 2022 • 6:04 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Doesn't Practice Wednesday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice. After back-to-back 100-yard games with two touchdowns in Weeks 2 and 3, Waddle disappointed in last Thursday night's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals when he caught two of five targets for a season-low 39 yards. The 23-year-old second-year wideout has two more days to get back on the practice field, but his fantasy ceiling and floor will be lowered with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (head, neck) already ruled out for Week 5 against the New York Jets. If Waddle is active, he'll be a more shaky WR2 for fantasy managers with Teddy Bridgewater running the offense. If he sits, River Cracraft will have a bigger role opposite Tyreek Hill.
Oct 5, 2022 • 11:36 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Will Play In Week 4
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin) will suit up for the Week 4 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. This shouldn't come as a surprise because it seemed like Waddle was going to play all along. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about this groin issue holding him back. He should be considered a low-end WR1 for this upcoming Thursday night matchup.
Sep 29, 2022 • 10:54 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Good To Go For Thursday Night Football
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin) should be good to go for Thursday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 23-year-old was limited at practice the last two days but will suit up Thursday against the Bengals. He has hauled in 15 receptions on 25 targets for 273 yards and three touchdowns over three games. The former first-round pick owns a whopping 31% of the team's target share, sixth among all wide receivers. Waddle is a must-start in Week 4 and will have a plus matchup against a Bengals defense that is 22nd in DVOA against WR2s.
Sep 29, 2022 • 12:47 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Listed As DNP Monday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin) was listed with a groin injury on the practice report and didn't practice. The Dolphins didn't actually practice on Monday, though, so the DNP was just an estimation on the short week. Miami plays the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night in Week 3. Waddle played 74 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 3 win over the Buffalo Bills and caught four of six targets for 102 yards, his second straight week with 100-plus yards. The 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher's injury doesn't seem too severe, but we'll need to keep a close eye on him as Thursday approaches. If he cannot play or is limited, Cedrick Wilson Jr. (ribs, toe), who was listed as limited on Monday, would have a bigger role next to Tyreek Hill.
Sep 26, 2022 • 11:22 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Expected To Play In Week 1
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (quadriceps), who was limited in practice on Wednesday, is expected to play on Sunday in the Week 1 regular season opener against the New England Patriots. Waddle was seen warming up for practice with the team on Thursday as well. The 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher didn't have a sleeve on his injured leg on Wednesday either, another good sign that he'll be available to fantasy managers as at least a low-end WR2 this weekend. Tyreek Hill's presence in the offense will mean fewer targets for Waddle in his second NFL season, but he should still see plenty of looks in the short and intermediate areas of the field from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Sep 8, 2022 • 4:46 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Limited In Practice
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) was back at practice on Wednesday and wasn't wearing a leg sleeve. Head coach Mike McDaniel called Waddle limited. Waddle is dealing with an undisclosed lower leg injury heading into Week 1's matchup against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Barring a setback in practice later this week, the 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher should be good to go this weekend. Some folks have been down on Waddle's 2022 fantasy ceiling with All-Pro receiver Tyreek Hill in town, but Waddle should continue to see plenty of targets from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. In Week 1, Waddle should be considered a low-end WR2 with upside against a strong Patriots secondary.
Sep 7, 2022 • 5:39 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Back At Dolphins Practice
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (leg) was inactive for all of the team's preseason games and has missed several practices as the season opener approaches. He returned to the practice field Monday, which is an encouraging sign for Week 1. Waddle and company host the Patriots in Week 1, who have historically been a tough matchup for wideouts. However, it's tough to imagine sitting either Waddle or Tyreek Hill regardless of the opponent this year. Both have WR1 upside, even with Waddle dealing with a minor ailment. As always stay tuned for further injury updates.
Sep 5, 2022 • 6:19 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Should Be Ready For Week 1
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (lower body) will be ready for Week 1, according to head coach Mike McDaniels. The 23-year-old hasn't been practicing for several weeks now. However, the Dolphins have mentioned that his absence is precautionary. It's hard to believe that Waddle has been held out of practice for multiple weeks as a precaution. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried, but probably won't get a better update until the official injury report is released next week.
Sep 2, 2022 • 1:43 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Has Missed A Lot Of Practice Time
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) has had the biggest jump within the offensive scheme from organized team activities to training camp, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. However, Waddle has also missed most of the last two weeks with what McDaniel said was being cautious after Waddle came in tight. The Dolphins haven't been worried about the 23-year-old's availability for the start of the regular season, but it's certainly worth monitoring. Waddle was impressive in 2021 with 104 catches for 1,015 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games, but the addition of Tyreek Hill will take valuable targets away. Still, the second-year pass-catcher should be seen as a strong WR2 entering his second NFL season.
Aug 24, 2022 • 10:04 PM | RotoBallerJaylen Waddle Held Out Of Saturday's Contest
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) was held out of practice this week with an unspecified injury. The 23-year-old was listed as day-to-day, prompting the Dolphins to keep him out of the preseason game against the Raiders. The team reported it as a precaution. However, not knowing the injury or timeline for his return is mildly concerning. The sophomore receiver is integral to Miami's offense, so easing him back to practice makes sense. Assuming he returns to participating in individual drills soon, there is no reason to fade him in your draft or avoid targeting him. Waddle set the rookie record for receptions and could be a top-24 receiver in 2022, especially if Tua Tagovailoa progresses from last year.
