Jaylen Waddle Expected to Play and be a "Big Factor" on Thursday Night

Thursday, September 18, 4:35 PM

According to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) is expected to play and be a "big factor" in their game plan against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday evening. Waddle was listed as a limited participant in their practice on Tuesday and remained in that capacity on Wednesday, which resulted in his questionable tag. However, it appears the wideout is turning the corner and should be in line to suit up. After a disappointing Week 1 showing where the former Alabama standout caught just four passes for 30 yards, Waddle bounced back in Week 2, bringing in five of his six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown. If Waddle can suit up, he should be viewed as a high-end WR3 in all formats. If he is unable to play, Malik Washington would move up to the No. 2 spot and carry value as a sleeper in DFS formats.

Jameson Williams Records Long Touchdown in Week 2, Still Limited to Downfield Role?

Sunday, September 14, 10:00 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams recorded 108 receiving yards in his team's 52-21 Week 2 victory over the Chicago Bears, including a 44-yard touchdown catch. However, Williams hauled in just two passes on four targets, raising questions about whether his role will be expanded beyond being a downfield threat in 2025. The 24-year-old Williams is unquestionably explosive with the ball in his hands, averaging over 17 yards per reception for his career. Still, he's recorded just six catches on nine targets through the first two games of the season after averaging under four catches per game in 2024. Williams profiles as a boom/bust fantasy WR3/flex option until proven otherwise.
