Knee injury Dolphins will list wide receiver Jaylen Waddle as doubtful for Sunday s game against San Francisco due to his knee injury. (Adam Schefter on X) FF Today's Take: Waddle missed practice all week after injuring his knee against Houston in Week 15. His absence will allow Malik Washington to move into a more prominent role but Tyreek Hill, De'Vone Achane and TE Jonnu Smith should soak up most of the offensive production for the Dolphins against the 49ers in Week 16.
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.
This barely keeps alive his hopes of playing against San Francisco after not practicing all week. Waddle's likely absence will leave rookie Malik Washington as Miami's No. 3 target behind Tyreek Hill and Jonnu Smith, potentially setting him up as a deep-league FLEX or dart throw as the Dolphins take on the 49ers to try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
This will likely be a rule out later today. Waddle's absence will leave rookie Malik Washington as Miami's No. 3 target behind Tyreek Hill and Jonnu Smith, potentially setting him up as a deep-league FLEX or dart throw as the Dolphins take on the 49ers to try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
Smith brought in nine of 11 targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
