Jaylen Waddle Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so the knee shouldn’t be a major issue. But Waddle is a shaky WR3 with QB Tyler Huntley under center.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jets. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so he should play. But Waddle is a shaky WR3 with QB Tyler Huntley under center.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that the team is preparing QB Tyler Huntley to start this weekend's game vs. the Jets. QB Tua Tagovailoa will be limited in practice on Wednesday with his hip injury, and it sounds like he hasn't been ruled out for Week 18 yet. But fantasy owners should be planning as if it'll be Huntley under center again for now. He played well in the Week 17 win over the Browns, completing 22 of 26 passes (85%) for 225 yards (8.7 YPA) and one TD, adding another 52 yards and a score on the ground. Just as importantly, the Dolphins stayed pass-heavy, registering a +11% pass rate over expected. That makes it easier to trust guys like WR Tyreek Hill and TE Jonnu Smith in Week 18 fantasy lineups, although Huntley is still a downgrade from Tagovailoa.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist, rest) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) is inactive. His absence gives Hill and TE Jonnu Smith potential target boosts. But both guys took big hits in the Week 17 Rankings with QB Tua Tagovailoa out.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) "unlikely" to play vs. the Browns this afternoon. Waddle is listed as questionable after returning to limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He wouldn't have been a recommended fantasy play with QB Tyler Huntley anyway. Rookie Malik Washington should again operate as Miami's No. 2 WR today but isn't a viable fantasy option in any format.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. HC Mike McDaniel sounded optimistic about Waddle’s availability for this one on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on him but won’t get Miami’s inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday. We’re currently projecting Waddle to play, but he lands outside the top 40 WRs in the Week 17 Rankings.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday -- his first since going down in Week 15. That gives Waddle a chance to play against the Browns this weekend. We'll see what he does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should not be counting on him to play vs the Browns this weekend.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist, personal) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He did not practice on Wednesday, was a full participant on Thursday, but then was limited on Friday. Hill, of course, has been playing through the wrist issue for much of the season. He seems fine to keep in Week 16 fantasy lineups, especially with WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) inactive.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the 49ers. Waddle has had an underwhelming season and ranks just fourth among Dolphins in targets. But he still leaves behind 5.3 targets per game. His absence means added target upside for WR Tyreek Hill, TE Jonnu Smith, and RB De'Von Achane. Rookie Malik Washington figures to slide in as Miami's No. 2 WR but is really only in play in DFS tournaments.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. "It will be a day-to-day situation," HC Mike McDaniel said. "I’ll be hopeful that we’ll see him, but I don’t really know." We'll keep you posted on Waddle's progress over the next few days, but fantasy owners should not be counting on him in Week 16 fantasy lineups right now.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle's status for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers is uncertain, HC Mike McDaniel said Monday. Waddle suffered a knee injury in the Week 15 loss to the Texans. It's not considered major and won't require surgery, McDaniel said, adding that Waddle is "day-to-day." We'll keep tabs on his practice participation this week, but fantasy owners should be making other plans for Week 16.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle suffered an apparent ankle injury when he got rolled up on in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Texans. He hobbled off the field and into the medical tent. We'll update Waddle's status when we know more.

Update: Waddle is officially questionable to return with a knee injury.

Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith went all of regulation without recording a catch. Then in overtime, the veteran caught all 3 targets for 44 yards and a game-winning score.

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.
