Jaylen Waddle Comes Back to Earth

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle caught 4 of 4 targets for 53 yards in Thursday’s loss to Green Bay. He added a two-point conversion on an impressive end zone catch.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Waddle led Miami in routes (48) and snaps (65). He tallied chunk gains on a couple of in-breaking routes, but his volume took a clear step back from Week 12. Thursday was especially disappointing with Tua Tagovailoa throwing for 365 yards – his most since Week 1 of 2023.

Jonnu Smith’s recent rise has added a major roadblock to targets. On Thanksgiving, he led the team in targets (11), catches (10), and receiving yards (113).

Week 14 turns up a talented (albeit up and down) Jets pass D. Treat Waddle as a WR3 or Flex for that one.
