  • Makes history in Week 18

    Waddle caught five of seven targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-24 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: While he didn't gain much in the way of yardage, Waddle still led the Dolphins in catches and targets, and his seven-yard TD grab in the first quarter opened the scoring. He also set a new NFL rookie record with 104 receptions, breaking the mark of 101 set by Anquan Boldin in 2003, and Waddle avoided an asterisk by doing it in 16 games. He'll head into 2022 as Miami's clear No. 1 receiver, but it's not yet clear if he'll still be catching passes from Tua Tagovailoa or if the team will look for…read more

  • Limited to three catches

    Waddle brought in three of seven targets for 47 yards in the Dolphins' 34-3 loss to the Titans on Sunday. He also returned one punt for 15 yards.

    Analysis: Waddle's recent run of high-volume efforts came to a halt Sunday against a feisty Titans secondary, leading to his lowest yardage total since Week 8. The rookie also saw a three-game streak of double-digit targets go by the wayside, as DeVante Parker led the way with 13 looks overall. Despite the downturn Sunday, Waddle will have a chance to hit the 100-catch mark with just one reception in Week 18 against the Patriots.

  • Leads team in receiving

    Waddle caught 10 of 12 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 20-3 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Waddle was the engine to Miami's offense, moving the sticks by getting free on a variety of underneath routes. His after-the-catch ability once again offered a consistent outlet for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, including on his one-yard touchdown from a misdirection push pass in the second half. Prior to that score, however, Tagovailoa found Waddle downfield on a flea flicker, significantly improving his average with a 24-yard gain. After missing last week's game while on the reserve/COVID-19…read more

  • Coming off COVID list

    Coach Brian Flores said Monday that Waddle (illness) will be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    Analysis: Waddle missed Sunday's win over the Jets after testing positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, but the standout rookie receiver will be back at team facilities Monday. The timing of Waddle's clearance will allow him a full week of practice before facing the Saints on Monday Night Football in Week 16. Tua Tagovailoa's favorite target thus will rejoin a receiving corps also led by DeVante Parker and Mike Gesicki, while coach Brian Flores relayed Monday that Will Fuller (finger) has suffered "some…read more

  • Not activated off COVID list

    The Dolphins didn't activate Waddle from the reserve/COVID-19 list in advance of Sunday's game against the Jets, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Waddle first landed on the list Thursday after testing positive for the virus, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. He'll thus target a potential return to action Week 16, when Miami faces the Saints on Dec. 27. In Waddle's absence, the Dolphins' top targets for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will likely be wideouts DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson, tight end Mike Gesicki and running back Myles Gaskin.

  • Headed to COVID list

    The Dolphins have placed Waddle on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

    Analysis: With Waddle headed to this list, the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Jets now is uncertain. In that context, the Dolphins' top available options at wide receiver currently are DeVante Parker, Albert Wilson, Mack Hollins, Isaiah Ford and Preston Williams.

  • Another nine catches

    Waddle recorded nine receptions on 11 targets for 90 yards in Sunday's 20-9 victory over the Giants.

    Analysis: Waddle continued his breakout even with the return of DeVante Parker (shoulder), racking up double-digit targets for the fifth time in his last eight games. While he wasn't able to top 100 yards for the second consecutive contest, he did manage several chunk gains of 25, 17 and 11 yards. Waddle has particularly displayed the big-play aspect of his game of late, as he's now delivered four receptions of 20 yards or more in his last four games. In comparison, he had just two such gains across the…read more

  • Posts career-best performance

    Waddle brought in nine of 10 targets for 137 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 33-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also returned one punt for seven yards.

    Analysis: The rookie posted his first career 100-yard effort in the Dolphins' fourth consecutive win, and both his reception and yardage totals paced all pass catchers on the afternoon. Waddle also recorded his fourth receiving touchdown of the season in the second quarter on a nine-yard scoring grab, and with at least eight catches in three of the past four games, he heads into a Week 13 home matchup against the Giants with no shortage of momentum.

  • Eight catches, rushing TD in win

    Waddle caught eight of nine targets for 65 yards and added a one-yard rushing touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Waddle capped the opening drive with a one-yard rushing touchdown, easily out-sprinting the Jets defense to the edge. The rookie wide receiver has scored from in close on both of his rushing attempts this season, complementing a trio of receiving scores. His chemistry with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should ensure a robust touch floor for Waddle in Week 12 against the Panthers.

  • Eclipses 60-yard mark in win

    Waddle hauled in four of six targets for 61 yards in the Dolphins' 22-10 win over the Ravens on Thursday night. He also returned one punt for six yards.

    Analysis: Waddle co-led the team in receptions alongside Albert Wilson and Isaiah Ford, with a 35-yard grab accounting for a good chunk of his production. After 33- and 31-yard tallies in Weeks 4 and 5, Waddle has bounced back to eclipse 60 yards in four of the last five contests. His next opportunity to extend that solid stretch of production comes a week from Sunday in a Week 11 divisional road clash with the Jets.

  • Paces pass catchers in victory

    Waddle brought in eight of 10 targets for 83 yards in the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 47 yards.

    Analysis: The rookie bounced back from an underwhelming 4-29 line against the Bills in Week 8 with Sunday's effort, which featured team-leading figures in receptions, receiving yards and targets. With DeVante Parker (shoulder) having joined Will Fuller (finger) on injured reserve Saturday, Waddle easily profiles as Miami's most explosive wideout and should enjoy another significant role in a Week 10 Thursday night matchup against the Ravens.

  • Held to four grabs Sunday

    Waddle brought in four of 12 targets for 29 yards in the Dolphins' 26-11 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 25 yards.

    Analysis: The rookie was highly inefficient on a day when he logged the second-highest number of targets of his young career. Waddle had encouragingly recorded 17 receptions over the last two games on 21 targets, so the constant failure to connect with Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday was particularly alarming yet also largely explained by the elite Bills secondary. Waddle will aim for a significant turnaround in his numbers Week 9 against the visiting Texans.

  • Racks up catches again

    Waddle brought in seven of eight targets for 83 yards in the Dolphins' 30-28 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie shared the team lead in receptions and targets with Mike Gesicki and checked in second to his teammate in receiving yards with a tally that qualified as Waddle's career high. The Alabama product now has a whopping 17 receptions on 21 targets over the last two games alone, making him a PPR darling despite typically recording many of his receptions relatively close to the line of scrimmage. Waddle will look to continue piling up the production in a thorny Week 8 road divisional battle…read more

  • Reaches end zone twice

    Waddle recorded 10 receptions on 13 targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Waddle enjoyed the return of Tua Tagovailoa and immediately showed rapport with his young quarterback. The duo connected for touchdowns of six and two yards -- Waddle's first trips to the end zone since Week 1. Despite the strong production, Waddle didn't work down the field regularly, as his longest reception of the contest went for just 14 yards. To continue to produce, he'll likely have to see considerable volume, which could become a bit more complicated once DeVante Parker (shoulder) is…read more

  • Will be Tua's No. 1 WR in Week 6

    Waddle is set to work as the Dolphins' top wide receiver Sunday against the Jaguars with DeVante Parker (shoulder) ruled out, and he's expected to be catching passes from Tua Tagovailoa, who is slated to return from a rib injury, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Waddle just put forth a disappointing two-catch performance against Tampa Bay with Parker sidelined, but that was with backup Jacoby Brissett under center. The only game Waddle played with Tagovailoa, his former Alabama teammate, under center for more than a quarter was Week 1, and that's also the only game in which the rookie first-round pick has found the end zone. Waddle will have a good opportunity to make it 2-for-2 in touchdowns with Tua against a vulnerable Jacksonville secondary in…read more

  • Struggles in blowout loss

    Waddle caught two of six targets for 31 yards and added a two-yard run in Sunday's 45-17 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Waddle ranked third on the team in targets behind running back Myles Gaskin (10) and tight end Mike Gesicki (seven), with fellow wide receiver DeVante Parker (shoulder) inactive. The rookie first-round pick failed to do much with that volume and had a ball bounce off his hands in the fourth quarter, leading to an interception. Miami makes a concerted effort to get the ball in Waddle's hands often -- he has 36 targets through five games -- and there should be more room to operate against the…read more

  • Could see more work

    Waddle could be in line for increased offensive usage with Will Fuller (finger) bound for injured reserve, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Waddle has handled a starting role in Miami's offense since Week 1, but he only played alongside Fuller for the past two weeks. With Fuller headed to IR, the Dolphins will now have to wait at least three more games before getting a good sample of what their scheme looks like with all of Waddle, Fuller and DeVante Parker healthy simultaneously. In the meantime, Waddle and Parker will continue to operate as the clear top wideouts. Top quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) could come off IR as early…read more

  • Target volume comes down to earth

    Waddle secured three of four targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 27-17 loss to Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Waddle is just one week removed from having seen 13 targets from Jacoby Brissett, but he took a back seat to DeVante Parker (4-77-1 on nine targets) against Indianapolis. If Will Fuller (hand) isn't able to suit up at Tampa Bay in Week 5, Waddle could end up handling more opportunities, but it still isn't easy to trust the rookie as an every-week fantasy option -- especially with Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) still out at least one more game.

  • Can't do much with big volume

    Waddle caught 12 of 13 passes for 58 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: He was Jacoby Brissett's favorite option on the afternoon, but Waddle wasn't able to do much with his team-leading volume. The rookie's longest catch went for only nine yards, and he got tackled for a safety on a botched wide receiver screen late in the first quarter. With Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) out for at least two more games, Waddle may need to rely on his ability to gain yards after the catch to post stronger numbers Week 4 at home against the Colts.

  • Six catches in shutout loss

    Waddle caught six of eight targets for 48 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Waddle led the Dolphins in targets and receiving yards, but his most memorable play was a special teams miscue -- he muffed a punt return near midfield in the final minute of the first half. Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett looked Waddle's way often after replacing the injured Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) in the first quarter, but Miami's pecking order in the passing game could change in Week 3 against the Raiders if Will Fuller (personal) makes his season debut alongside Waddle and DeVante Parker,…read more

  • Projected to start again

    Waddle and DeVante Parker are in line to continue to serve as Miami's top wide receivers Sunday against the Bills, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Will Fuller, who was expected to return to the team's lineup this weekend, won't be available for Sunday's contest due to a personal matter. In Week 1, Waddle hauled in four of his five targets for 61 yards and a TD, while Parker recorded a 4-81-0 stat line on a team-high seven targets. The duo (who started at WR in the team's season opener) should continue to be key cogs in Miami's passing game Week 2, with Albert Wilson, Preston Williams (foot/knee), Mack Hollins and Jakeem Grant also…read more

    Waddle recorded four receptions on six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' Week 1 victory over New England.

    Analysis: Waddle was out-targeted by only DeVante Parker, and he finished second on the team with 61 receiving yards. He showed explosiveness in a variety of ways and picked up 17 yards on the team's first play from scrimmage. Waddle played a key role at other points in the game, hauling in a deep reception of 36 yards that set up a field goal just before halftime. On the team's opening possession of the second half, Waddle found the end zone on a three-yard catch. While Will Fuller (suspension) will…read more

  • Regular-season debut on tap

    In his NFL regular-season debut Sunday against the Patriots, Waddle could see an expanded role in Miami's offense with Will Fuller (suspension) unavailable, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Per Furones, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft is projected to play a key role in the Dolphins' run-pass option offense in any case, and with Fuller out this weekend Waddle should have an immediate opportunity to rekindle his on-field chemistry with his former college quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa. At 5-foot-10, 182 pounds, Waddle profiles as an explosive playmaker, and while it remains to be seen how steady his volume will be early on in his pro career, the Alabama product has a…read more

  • Survives injury scare

    Waddle caught three of four targets for 21 yards while missing some snaps due to injury during Saturday's preseason win against the Falcons.

    Analysis: With six wide receivers sitting for the Dolphins -- notably, DeVante Parker (undisclosed) and Will Fuller (foot) -- Waddle got the start and was targeted on three of Tua Tagovailoa's first four passes. On the 10th play of Miami's opening drive, though, Waddle was undercut by an Atlanta defender while blocking. The scary moment included the rookie first-round pick remaining on the field for awhile, going to the blue medical tent and eventually walking to the locker room under his own power, all…read more

  • Returns punt for 24 yards

    Waddle wasn't targeted in Saturday's preseason game against the Bears, but he did have a 24-yard punt return in the first quarter.

    Analysis: Waddle worked with the first-team offense and got plenty of snaps alongside Tua Tagovailoa, who threw six of his 11 passes to tight ends. The rookie first-round pick at least got a chance to show off his talent on special teams, though he'll have tough competition for return work on a team with WR/RS Jakeem Grant. In any case, Waddle should see at least one or two targets in the second week of the preseason, even if one or two of the Dolphins' veteran wideouts (Will Fuller, DeVante Parker,…read more

  • Listed as backup for now

    Waddle is listed as a backup on the Dolphins' first depth chart of the season, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Waddle is listed behind entrenched starters DeVante Parker and Will Fuller (suspension/foot) in addition to Albert Wilson, who opted out of the 2020 season. Wilson is an experienced slot playmaker who could certainly contribute on offense if he's retained his explosiveness heading into his age-29 season, but Waddle's status as a first-round pick should let him find his way into the starting lineup sooner rather than later. As Mark Inabinett of AL.com reports, Waddle recently said his surgically…read more

    Analysis: The sixth overall pick dislocated his ankle last October and had surgery the same night, later making it back for a brief appearance in the College Football Playoff National Championship, where he caught three passes for 34 yards just two and a half months after suffering the injury. Despite the unusually quick return to action and subsequent early draft slot, Waddle reportedly still walks with a slight limp at times and has been tightly wrapping his right ankle before every practice.

  • Signs rookie contract

    Waddle signed his rookie contract, which is worth $27.1 million and includes a $17.1 million signing bonus, with the Dolphins on Friday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 2021 sixth overall pick is now set to reunite with his college quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, on the Dolphins. Will Fuller figures to have the same type of field-stretching role Waddle will have this season but is only on a one-year deal; therefore, whatever Fuller's short-term impact may be, don't expect it to hinder Waddle too much from emerging as the team's top future playmaker for years to come.
