Jaylen Waddle Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) is INACTIVE for today’s game vs. the Jets. He tried to give it a go but evidently didn’t feel well enough in pregame warmups. Hill’s absence removes 30% of Miami’s targets, 32% of the catches, 41% of the receiving yards, and 48% of the receiving TDs. It’s obviously a huge loss for QB Tua Tagovailoa, who is not a must-start against this tough Jets defense. The Dolphins figure to lean more on their run game today, while WR Jaylen Waddle and potentially the RBs get a boost in target share.

Despite seeing 8 targets, Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle underwhelmed in Sunday’s win over Vegas. The third-year WR managed 4 catches for 55 yards. His totals could have been higher, though, as Tua Tagovailoa overthrew him on a deep ball that was picked off. Waddle’s now been under 70 yards in six of his past seven outings. Aside from Week 13 at Washington and Week 14 vs. Tennessee, his rest-of-season schedule looks tough. As long as Tyreek Hill stays healthy, Waddle projects as a volatile WR2/3 down the stretch.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle hurt his left knee in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. He was able to get off the field under his own power and is officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: Waddle returned on Miami's next possession.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa went off for 324 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT in Sunday's win over New England. Tua wasn’t perfect in this one, as he threw at least one pass that should have been picked off. He also lost a fumble. Still, when you’re firing 56% of your targets at Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, good things are bound to happen. Sure enough, that duo alone combined for 15 catches, 233 yards, and 2 TDs. Tua’s remaining score went to Cedric Wilson at the goal line. Keep the young QB in lineups for a potential Week 9 shootout vs. Kansas City.
