He might not have quite the speed of his teammate Tyreek Hill, but Jaylen Waddle is still absurdly quick and is really proving himself to be one of the league's most dynamic weapons as he heads into his third professional season. Waddle improved on his breakout rookie season in just about every conceivable way this past season, but the way he was utilized in the McDaniel offense was night and day from what we saw from him as a rookie under the previous regime.
The Dolphins used more pre-snap motion than any team in the league and that helped fuel Waddle to one of the most ridiculous yards-per-reception improvements in recent memory. Many were comparing Waddle's 2021 rookie season in which he caught 104 passes for 1,015 yards to that of players like Jarvis Landry, who are primarily underneath possession receivers who don't offer much explosiveness. That completely shifted when McDaniel came to town, as he started scheming Waddle in a totally different way, allowing him to utilize his speed and shiftiness to get open down the field. This meant fewer total receptions as he caught just 75 balls, but the receptions he did make were enormously more valuable as he went for an impressive 1,356 yards. That's an improvement of over 350 yards despite catching 29 fewer passes. This meant that Waddle's yards per reception total nearly doubled from 9.8 as a rookie in 2021 to a league-leading 18.1 in 2022.
Certainly, some of this improved efficiency was due to factors other than Waddle himself getting better, but so what? Even if Mike McDaniel and Tyreek Hill are to thank for much of it, they're still going to be here in Miami this season, so there's really no reason to think that things will change substantially for Waddle in 2023. Of course, an 18.1 yards per reception number is unlikely to continue no matter the situation given that it's such a high number, but even a bit of a regression in YPR could be completely negated by Waddle simply seeing a bit more volume.
Waddle finished as the WR7 in 2022 and with the Dolphins failing to bring in any notable competition for him in the offense, there's plenty of reason to be optimistic that he can again finish as a WR1 for fantasy this season. It's tough to project that two wide receivers in the same offense can do that in back-to-back seasons, but this duo, in this offense, seems like the strongest bet to do it that we've seen in recent history.

Jonnu Smith finds a home in Miami, two-year deal Former Falcon now a Dolphin By: Mike Krueger | Thu Mar 7, 1:33 pm
| | Former Falcons tight end Jonnu Smith and the Miami Dolphins reached agreement on a two-year deal with the do worth up to $10 million, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Smith was released last week by the Falcons and quickly found a landing spot with the Dolphins. Miami's offense hasn't featured the tight end in recent years as targets have flowed at a high rate towards Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and the running backs. Smith gives them a decent receiving option at the position but he will likely be capped at TE2 value.
| Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert listed as Questionable Both limited all week By: Mike Krueger | Thu Jan 11, 4:26 pm
| | #Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle and RB Raheem Mostert are officially listed as questionable for Saturday night’s playoff vs. Kansas City. CB Xavien Howard is out. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Both players missed Week 18 and both were limited in practice this week but it sounds like they will suit up Saturday evening against the Chiefs. It's unclear at this time how the split will go between Mostert and Devon Achane this week but both backs should see a lot of work in the cold playing conditions.
| Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert not expected to play Miami down key pieces in Week 18 By: Mike Krueger | Sun Jan 7, 12:09 am
| | #Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) and WR Jaylen Waddle (ankle) - both listed as questionable - are not expected to play Sunday night vs. the #Bills, per me and @RapSheet.
Both should be ready for the playoffs. But Miami will try to win the AFC East without them. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: The Dolphins will be short-handed when the take on the Bills Sunday night. Expect Devon Achane and Tyreek Hill to do the heavy lifting in the offense. Jeff Wilson will mix in at running back and Cedrick to see increased looks at receiver with Waddle out.
| Raheem Mostert expected to be inactive Wk17 Knee and ankle injuries By: Mike Krueger | Sun Dec 31, 12:10 am
| | #Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert, who is tied for the NFL lead with 21 TDs, is expected to be inactive Sunday against the #Ravens, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
Mostert barely practiced this week because of knee and ankle injuries. Big loss for Miami, and fantasy teams everywhere. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: This is a big loss for Miami as they’re already down Jaylen Waddle for this week’s game against the Ravens. Expect Devon Achane and Jeff Wilson to handle running back duties. Achane is the preferred play but Wilson should see plenty of action.
