Jaylen Waddle

Jaylen Waddle was fine in Quinn Ewers' first start, although he benefited from CB DJ Turner being less than 100%. The Dolphins WR posted a modest 5-72 on nine targets (67 incomplete air yards and five targets off play action). 30% target share.
Gives us faith that Waddle can be started next week in a plus matchup versus the pass-funnel Buccaneers.
Jaylen Waddle has topped 82 yards in five of his 11 games this season without Hill, averaging OVER seven targets and 68 yards per contest when Hill plays fewer than 50% of snaps or misses entirely (15-game sample size). He should be back on the fantasy WR2 radar versus the Bucs.

Jaylen Waddle hauled in 5-of-9 targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Impact

Miami's passing game wasn't doing very well on Sunday, but Waddle was still able to escape with a pretty good performance. He led the team in targets, receptions, and yards over the course of the afternoon, although he wasn't able to get into the end zone at all. It will be hard for fantasy managers to trust starting him in the championship week next week, given how volatile that he has been lately.
