San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) was officially placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 26-year-old suffered a torn ACL and MCL in last Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season. As a result, Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness), Jauan Jennings (hip) and rookie Ricky Pearsall are expected to lead the wide receiver room for the remainder of the season. However, Samuel left last game early due to pneumonia and is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, which could open up a larger role for Jennings, Pearsall and rookie Jacob Cowing. Fantasy managers looking to add a receiver with upside for high volume should check their waiver wire for both Jennings and Pearsall, as they should have a profound role in the offense going forward.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) return, Waddle came into this game with WR2 expectations and did not deliver. The good news is that the offense looked exponentially better than the previous four weeks, scoring their highest total of the season. Waddle has yet to find the end zone and hasn't topped 50 yards since Week 1. However, better days are ahead for Waddle, with Miami's schedule presenting several favorable offensive matchups. Next week's matchup against the Buffalo Bills will be one of their toughest tests in the back half of the 2024 season.
