Jaylen Waddle

Since Week 5, Jaylen Waddle has been the WR20 in fantasy points per game with a 24.2% target share, 65.9 receiving yards per game, 2.77 yards per route run, and a 32.2% first-read share. In those 11 games, Waddle has had six red zone targets and 13 deep targets. He's been outstanding on a per-route basis. The problem with the Miami offense these days is its run-centric nature, which caps Waddle's volume weekly. Waddle is a strong WR2 this week with WR1 upside if Quinn Ewers can have another solid performance. Since Week 10, Tampa Bay has allowed the tenth-most PPR points per target and the tenth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

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.
