Waddle brought in all five targets for 109 yards in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed once for three yards.
Waddle missed much of the second quarter while being evaluated for a brain injury but came back in the second half and had a couple long gainers. Waddle and Tyreek Hill combined for 18 of the Dolphins' 37 targets on the day. Waddle should continue running as the team's 1B option in Week 2 against the Bills.
Waddle entered the blue injury tent after a first down reception midway through the second quarter. He appeared dazed, forcing refs to tell the Miami trainers to evaluate Waddle for a brain injury. He remains sidelined late in the second quarter.
Per Rapoport, Hill was pulled over by police about one block from the Dolphins' stadium. He was briefly detained but has since arrived at the field. The severity of the incident is unclear but the fact that he was able to make it to the stadium without any issues suggests it was a rather minor situation. For now, fantasy managers can proceed with Hill as usual. Jaylen Waddle would be in line for a larger role if this traffic incident costs Hill any time down the road, though that looks unlikely at this point.
Dolphins WR Malik Washington (quad) is out for Sunday s opener vs. the Jaguars. The rookie went from limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday to no practice on Friday. With WR Odell Beckham on the PUP list, Miami is woefully thin at WR entering Week 1. Braxton Berrios will be the No. 3 WR on Sunday. Grant DuBose is currently the only other WR on the roster besides Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. RB De Von Achane and TE Jonnu Smith could be big parts of the passing game this weekend.
