MIA WR Jaylen Waddle - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

This is becoming a season to forget for Jaylen Waddle. While he did lead the team in receiving yards and targets last week, we can't count on that every week. Waddle has been behind De'Von Achane for some weeks in targets. We'll see how much this wrist injury limits Tyreek Hill moving forward as that may be the only real path Waddle has for paying off.

The Raiders are 4th aFPA against wide receivers this season, but that could be a bit inflated as teams don't really need to throw too much against them. Teams have been crushing on the ground and through tight ends against the Raiders, but we've seen Zay Flowers and Diontae Johnson both have high-end performances against the Raiders. Still, Waddle is a back-end WR3 this week. He's likely in your lineup, but you probably aren't happy about it.

MIA WR Jaylen Waddle - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Los Angeles Rams

Jaylen Waddle has to be one of the more disappointing fantasy players for managers this season. He's in a great offense that is fully healthy now, and he can still only manage 2 catches for -4 yards on 2 targets. He's essentially lost the WR2 role to De'Von Achane out of the backfield and Jonnu Smith is more involved at tight end.

The matchup isn't difficult as the Rams are 22nd aFPA against wide receivers and have been prone to giving up big plays. Plus, Tyreek Hill is a legitimate game-time decision. It all adds up to what should be a big Waddle week. He's a back-end WR2 with upside for more if Hill is out.

MIA WR Jaylen Waddle - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Buffalo Bills

We were certainly hoping for a little better in Tua Tagovailoa's return, but Jaylen Waddle took a back seat to Tyreek Hill and De'Von Achane in the pecking order in Tagovailoa's return. Waddle continues to have a massive ceiling, but he's more boom or bust than people hoped during the draft season.

Waddle has performed better against the Bills than Hill, but the ceiling is still a bit limited as the Bills are 5th aFPA against receivers this season. He's a high-end WR3 this week, but the ceiling is lower this week. He's worth starting, but limiting expectations is the name of the game this week.

MIA WR Jaylen Waddle - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs Arizona Cardinals

The loss of Tua Tagovailoa tanked the Dolphins offense, but no one was hit harder than Jaylen Waddle. He was barely usable during Tagovailoa's absence, but that's in the past now and Waddle will be back in your starting lineup this week.

The Cardinals rank 19th aFPA against wide receivers and the easy matchup and return of Tagovailoa make this a great week to hop back on the Waddle bandwagon. He's WR18 on the week making him a mid-end WR2 with some upside a few receivers ahead of don't have this week. Start him confidently.

MIA WR Jaylen Waddle - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Indianapolis Colts

Unfortunately for Jaylen Waddle, the quarterback situation has been impacting him more than Tyreek Hill. In the win over the Patriots, Waddle had 8 targets, but only 4 catches for 46 scoreless yards. He continues to be the clear second option behind Tyreek Hill, but will need better quarterback play to get going again.

Waddle is a borderline WR3 this week but is more of a flex play. Again, the matchup is great against the Colts as they rank 24th aFPA against wide receivers. However, it's just tough to trust Waddle with this quarterback situation and the running game back at full strength.

MIA WR Jaylen Waddle - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at New England Patriots

Jaylen Waddle is outside of the top 50 wide receivers this week and it is officially time to move him to the bench if you had not done so already.

MIA WR Jaylen Waddle - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Tennessee Titans

Like the rest of the Dolphins offense, Jaylen Waddle struggled without a real quarterback under center. Waddle caught 4 of 5 targets for 26 yards. That's just not going to get it done for you. Unfortunately, it's going to be very tough to trust Waddle, even with Snoop Huntley, as he's always going to be behind Tyreek Hill in the pecking order for targets and potentially De'Von Achane as well.

Add in a difficult matchup for the Dolphins passing game as the Titans rank 2nd aFPA against wide receivers, and this is not a great spot for Waddle. Waddle is a WR3/flex play, but until we see something consistent from the backup quarterbacks or Tua Tagovailoa returns, it seems very tough to trust anyone that isn't Achane or Hill.
