Jaylen Waddle: Jaylen Waddle Looking Good at OTAs

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was the star of the show during organized team activities on Wednesday, according to the Miami Herald's Omar Kelly. Waddle had career-lows across the board in catches (58), targets (83), receiving yards (744) and touchdowns (two) in 15 starts in his fourth NFL season in 2024 in a Dolphins offense that lacked the explosive plays they became so well-known for the previous two years. The 26-year-old still has plenty of speed to spare, but because of his down season in 2024, he has fallen down draft boards early on this offseason. The former sixth overall pick has the ability to bounce back for fantasy managers in 2025, but it could depend on Miami's offensive-line play and the health of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Waddle is no longer being considered a WR1 and could even be a shaky WR2 asset, depending on how the Dolphins' offense rebounds.
