Jaylen Waddle Questionable to Return in Week 17 with Rib Injury

Sunday, December 28, 2:07 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ribs) is questionable to return to his team's Week 17 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a rib injury. Waddle recorded one rush attempt for seven yards but was not targeted as a receiver before exiting the game. If he is unable to return, Dolphins wide receivers Malik Washington, Cedrick Wilson Jr., and Theo Wease Jr. will all likely see an uptick in playing time and target share. Miami running back De'Von Achane could play an even larger role in the team's passing game for the remainder of Week 17 as well.

George Pickens a High-End Option Against Washington on Christmas

Thursday, December 25, 12:50 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens rebounded last week against the Chargers after a two-game lull entering Week 16. Pickens racked up seven catches for 130 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Week 16, marking his fifth game with at least 130 receiving yards, tied with Puka Nacua for the most in the league. It's been a tremendous first season in Dallas for the former Pittsburgh Steeler, ranking as the WR4 in PPR points. He gets another opportunity to add to his career highs in various receiving stats on Christmas Day against a porous Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to wide receivers. Pickens should be fired up again as a borderline WR1 in Week 17.
