Two grabs in Week 11 win Waddle secured two of three targets for 37 yards in the Dolphins' 34-19 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Impact Waddle recorded double-digit gains on both his catches, but he was once again very modestly involved. The 2021 first-round pick hasn't topped 57 receiving yards since Week 1 despite being healthy and holding down his usual No. 2 receiver role, but he'll have a fresh opportunity to bounce back against a vulnerable Patriots defense at home in Week 12.

Paces pass catches in win Waddle brought in three of six targets for 57 yards and rushed once for minus-1 yard in the Dolphins' 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday night.
Impact Waddle tied Jonnu Smith for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in both receiving yards and targets. The fourth-year pro's yardage tally was his second highest of the season, with only his 109-yard effort in Week 1 exceeding it. Waddle now has six targets in two of Tua Tagovailoa's first three games back from his IR stint, giving the wideout some momentum and an optimistic outlook heading into a Week 11 home matchup against the Raiders.

Snaps TD drought in loss Waddle caught both of his targets for minus-4 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.
Impact Waddle wasn't targeted until just 2:34 remained in the fourth quarter, when he made a 12-yard catch to convert a third-and-7. He had an injury scare on the very next play, when Waddle stayed down after Damar Hamlin fell on his leg, but the wide receiver stayed in the game and proceeded to catch a game-tying seven-yard touchdown with 1:38 remaining. Unfortunately for Waddle's fantasy managers, he was credited with a 23-yard loss on the game's final play, as he got the ball on a lateral and ran backward to avoid a Bills defender, only to be tackled anyway. Waddle finally ended a touchdown drought that dated back to Week 15 of last season, but he's building a new infamous streak, with seven consecutive games of fewer than 50 receiving yards heading into a Week 10 MNF matchup against the Rams.

Stays quiet in Tua's return Waddle caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Waddle's fantasy managers had high hopes for a bounce back in Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) return, but Waddle put forth yet another subpar outing as the Dolphins fell to 2-5. After posting 109 receiving yards in Week 1 against the Jaguars, Waddle hasn't exceeded 46 yards in any subsequent game. He'll try to snap that unsavory streak in a Week 9 road game against the Bills.

Cleared for Week 8 along with Tua Waddle (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals after being a full participant in practice Friday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com r...
Impact Waddle avoided an injury designation with a full practice Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He has a nice opportunity to break out of his slump with Miami getting Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) back under center for the first time since Week 2 after the starting quarterback cleared concussion protocol.

Another limited practice Waddle (quad) remained limited at practice Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact While Waddle maintained his practice level from Wednesday, Tyreek Hill was added to Miami's injury report Thursday after being limited by a foot injury. The duo's status is thus worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. If Waddle is available this weekend, his fantasy prospects could be looking up, with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) trending toward a return from IR.

Limited participant along with Tua Waddle (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Waddle still has two opportunities to reach full participation, which would help him avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was a limited participant Wednesday as well, and Tagovailoa's expected to be activated from IR and start Sunday. Waddle would stand to benefit substantially from Tagovailoa's return under center, as Waddle had 150 receiving yards across Tua's two starts this season, and just 119 receiving yards over four games after Tagovailoa got hurt.

Nonfactor in Week 7 loss Waddle secured one of two targets for 11 yards during Miami's 16-10 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Impact Waddle and Tyreek Hill combined for just two catches for 19 yards on four targets versus Indianapolis. Coming off a bye, the Dolphins' offense turned in yet another miserable performance despite facing off against a vulnerable Colts secondary, with the mid-game departure of Tyler Huntley (shoulder) only compounding things. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be eligible to return from IR as early as Week 8 against the Cardinals, but it's unclear when Miami anticipates the franchise quarterback retaking the field. If one of Huntley, Tim Boyle or Skyler Thompson (ribs) is again under center versus Arizona, it will be difficult to trust any of the Dolphins' skill-position players for fantasy purposes.

Four grabs in win Waddle brought in four of eight targets for 46 yards in the Dolphins' 15-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Impact Waddle checked in tied for second in targets and third in both receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon for the Dolphins, flashing some improved chemistry with quarterback Tyler Huntley. The upside of Waddle and the other members of the Dolphins' air attack is naturally capped without Tua Tagovailoa (IR-concussion), but the fourth-year wideout heads into a Week 6 bye with no fewer than four receptions in any game this season, albeit while exceeding 41 receiving yards only once. Waddle will likely work with Huntley for at least one more game when the Dolphins face the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 20 following a Week 6 bye.
