Will Jaylen Waddle Play in Week 3? (2023 Fantasy Football)

Week 3 has arrived! Unfortunately, the injury watch for fantasy managers is also here. Players who appear on the Friday injury report and haven’t practiced much during the week can often lead to trepidation for managers trying to make lineup decisions and/or waiver claims. Don’t fret, though – FantasyPros is here to provide you with all of the latest news and updates on the players who are questionable heading into the weekend.

Jaylen Waddle entered into the concussion protocol on Monday and managed only a limited practice on Friday. While he may be able to pass out of the protocol before Miami’s game against Denver on Sunday, the question remains whether he will play in Week 3. Here’s the latest.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday against Denver.

Fantasy Impact

Waddle suffered a concussion in the team’s Week 2 win over the Patriots. Waddle was able to practice in a limited fashion Friday, which gives him the opportunity to clear the league’s concussion protocol by Saturday. Fantasy managers will want to continue to monitor the situation.

What the Experts Are Saying

TBD. As of this writing (Saturday AM), Waddle has a 40% chance to get cleared and play Week 3. The decision likely won’t be announced until Saturday night or Sunday morning. No production impact expected upon return.
