Jaylen Waddle

Jaylen Waddle had two receptions on three targets for 37 yards, averaging an impressive 18.5 yards per reception with a long of 24 yards.
If you were to tell me at the beginning of the season that Smith would be the reason why Waddle is a bust in 2024, I would have laughed in your face. Entering Week 12, I still can't believe it.
But Waddle just isn't a focal point in the offense. Fourth in target share since Week 8 (14%).
You can't trade Waddle because you won't get anything for him. I think that he's just a bench guy because we know the talent is there, but he can't be trusted unless there's a usage change.
But please do not just tilt-drop him. If there's a strong waiver wire option that you like more than Waddle sure to make the move. But don't try a high-upside player because you are frustrated. Good matchup next week against the Patriots. Christian Gonzalez shadowed Hill the last time the Patriots played Miami. Waddle saw a season-high 8 targets versus the Patriots.
So, you're telling me there's a chance...

Jaylen Waddle hauled in 2-of-3 targets for 37 yards in the Dolphins 34-19 win over the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

Waddle had a quiet afternoon, with his target share cut in half compared to Week 10. Fantasy managers will hope that Waddle will get back on track against the Patriots in Week 12.
