Jaylen Waddle Active

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.
