Waddle tied with Tyreek Hill for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in targets, but the disparity between the two receivers' final production was stark considering Hill's gaudy 157-yardage tally. Waddle's middling day was particularly disappointing considering his 114-yard day in Week 12 against the Jets, and outside of his two 100-yard efforts, he's been limited to 63 yards or fewer in seven of his last nine contests. Waddle's fortunes could take a turn for the better in a Week 14 home matchup against the vulnerable Titans on Monday night, Dec. 11.

Waddle tied with Tyreek Hill for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in targets, but the disparity between the two receivers' final production was stark considering Hill's gaudy 157-yardage tally. Waddle's middling day was particularly disappointing considering his 114-yard day in Week 12 against the Jets, and outside of his two 100-yard efforts, he's been limited to 63 yards or fewer in seven of his last nine contests. Waddle's fortunes could take a turn for the better in a Week 14 home matchup against the vulnerable Titans on Monday night, Dec. 11.
Waddle shrugged off a tough matchup with a Jets secondary that came in allowing the fewest fantasy points in the league to wide receivers, as he set a season high in catches while coming seven yards short of his season high. This was only Waddle's second 100-yard performance of 2023 after he posted six such games last season. Waddle looks healthy after playing through injuries for much of the season, and he'll have a golden opportunity to build on his momentum in Week 13 against Washington's vulnerable secondary.
Waddle suffered a knee injury early in the contest, but he was able to quickly return to the field. That didn't lead to much production, however, as the Miami offense was held back offensively by a strong Kansas City defense. As a result, Waddle's streak of three games with at least 50 receiving yards came to an end.
Waddle led the Dolphins in receiving yards on the afternoon, with the exclamation point coming via a 31-yard scoring grab in the fourth quarter, his third score of the season. All of Waddle's end-zone trips this season have come within the last four contests, and Sunday's performance also qualified as his first 100-yard tally of the campaign. Waddle figures to be busy once again during the Dolphins' Week 9 showdown against the powerful Chiefs offense in Germany.
