Jaylen Waddle Stepping Up for the Dolphins

Thursday, July 31, 10:01 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has been one of the top performers in training camp, according to the Miami Herald's Omar Kelly, who calls Waddle the "new top dawg." Since Tyreek Hill (wrist) is working his way back after two offseason surgeries, Waddle has taken advantage of his chance to work with Tua Tagovailoa. Tua said that he and Waddle have grown their chemistry, and coach Mike McDaniel has pointed to Waddle's offseason work as exemplary. If Waddle can pass Hill for more looks and opportunities in the Dolphins' passing game, he could end up being a top-10 receiver in fantasy football. He has an extremely high ceiling, and brings the potential to be a "top dawg" for your fantasy team this season as well.

Chris Olave Tweaks Ankle at Practice

Friday, August 8, 10:04 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) was held out of Friday's scrimmage after he tweaked his ankle Thursday. Olave watched the full scrimmage and didn't appear to be in significant pain. Olave finished practice on Thursday despite initially having his ankle taped. Despite missing practice, there is little to no concern about Olave's ankle, and he was held out of practice as a precaution. Saints head coach Kellen Moore stated that "half a dozen starters would not suit up for their preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday," so expect Olave to be a part of that group. This likely has no significant impact on his current value, but it is worth monitoring. UPDATE: Olave's ankle injury is considered insignificant, and he's listed as day-to-day. He should be back soon.
