I don’t think so but I didn’t watch the entire game. Lots of chunk plays and substitutions in the heat. 64% he played. Hill played 66%
Coach McDaniel is often vague. I think he's referring to the rib/torso injury suffered 3 weeks ago in practice.
>>McDaniel said Waddle, who was in some discomfort during the game, isn’t dealing with anything that will keep him completely out of practice: “Positive interaction with Jaylen. The soreness is where we would hope. We wouldn’t want it to be debilitating and it wasn’t. We will manage it accordingly.”<<

How will he play? I thought, the five step concussion protocol says he needs to be cleared and practice in full contact. They don't practice tomorrow. Seems like he's stuck at step 4 and will be marked out tomorrow?

Step 4 Club-based non-contact training drills
"Players reaching the fourth stage are able to start throwing, catching and running and engage in activities more specific to their position. They also can continue to ramp up their exercise and training. By end of this phase, players have to have undergone neurocognitive and balance testing."
Step 5 is Full football activity/clearance
"The player has to be cleared by both the club physician and the independent neurological consultant to return to full activity."

Gut feeling is they sit him. Didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday and was limited today. Cedric Wilson most likely takes Waddle‘s spot.
With what happened to Tua last year McD is going to be xtra cautious with Waddle.
Save him for the Bills next week.

Not Berrios, Cracraft, or Ezukanma?
I agree Wilson won't be inactive for the first time this year if jaylen sits.
I think so too. If he wasn’t trending that way then I feel like he wouldn’t have practice today like ARich

You are correct - should have said Wilson most likely gets activated if Waddle sits.
Who gets Waddle’s targets between Cracraft, Berrios and Wilson is anyone’s guess.

Waddle will get Waddle's targets.
BobbyLayne

I imagine the way Tyreek is soaking up targets it won't matter
I do like the way Smythe is soaking up all the TE snaps but the offense is so concentrated rn he may never be fantasy relevant.
STILL a chance Waddle plays but looking a little like the quote from Dumb & Dumber atm.

I have a feeling he clears but McDaniel sits him out to look like he cares knowing they smash Denver with @ Buffalo next week.
Luckily it's a 1pm game. Every game matters, that's the mentality of coaches. If he clears concussion protocol, I think he plays. Denver has some good players in the secondary.

If he's cleared then he plays. Hope it happens! Need his production this week badly.

...throw a dart at Berrios? 5/60/1 realistic, or dreaming?
Cracraft can play all WR positions. And has similar stats as Berrios, plus a TD. Chosen will also run some deep patterns. Easy E is also in the mix. Impossible to predict, but Cracraft if you insist.

Damn.
Screwed. And possibly tattooed.
Screwed. And possibly tattooed.
None of the WRs are the deep threat Waddle was.
Cracraft can play all the spots but not the best.
Chosen is probably best deep but his best days are behind him. Wilson is passe too.
Omar (Dolphins writer) worded it something like each do a role well so they probably just have them play their roles.
Ezukanma has been a preseason darling before that has some serious play making ability that can't get onto the field. They have been running him lately.
I'm thinking everyone's getting meh stats like one two catches but Ezukanma will have the best opportunity

Thanks. I was just wondering why Cantstop1999 passed on him.

He has had two okay games then missed one to injury. U play him in a matchup with Bills. Should be high scoring.

Waddle: WR31, WR43, DNP - WR40
Pickens: WR49, WR11, WR38 - WR30
Texans have had trouble stopping RBs. I know it's hard to predict game flow but I like Waddle's matchup slightly more because I think it will be back and forth. 53.5 O/U v 42.0.
Probably due for some positive TD regression at some point, Tyreek can't catch all of them.
I'm starting him as my WR3 but with Chase, Olave and Addison in th Flex so not really a critical decision (don't worry my RBs suck lol.)

Who bet the over on yards for Waddle today?

Very disappointing fantasy season to be honest. Targets are just not there and this offense is up and down depending on home and road it appears

What's the scoop on him? Is it just too many mouths to feed in that offense right now?
I watched him in week 1/2 and he looked solid, but wasn't getting the volume. I just traded for him (gave up J. Dotson and D. Waller - felt like a steal because Waller was my #2 TE, and Dotson was my #3 WR). I was hoping the owner was low on him, but honestly didn't expect him to take my first offer.

Played 3 out of 4 games, battling concussion protocol, if you saw the hit he absorbed, was pretty rough
He's still on pace for 64-1,000 and that's if he only plays 12 games!
He is completely out of synch at the moment
Huge opp to acquire if you think Miami is gonna have a field day at home vs New York and Carolina the next 2 weeks
TDs will start to appear for him, remember he is not the WR1 on his own team, not even close. He will never get the number of targets he got his rookie year with Hill as the WR1
Problem is many drafted Waddle in the 2nd Rd

I said it before with the Dolphins having a young back now, they will want to run more.. Waddle will be this years FF bust...
800-1000 yards and 4-6 TD

It's a little early to be running victory laps after an injury plagued first 4 games. I'm still not sure if he's at 100%, but I would be shocked if Waddle doesn't wind up beating your yardage and TD prediction. I am looking to acquire as I own 0 shares. His value got a little out of hand pre-draft, but I'm hoping his owners get a cold feet.

I take very little Karl says seriously, on Sundays he likes to post in the game threads and it's mostly the players he has a vested interest in we'll say and it comes across as sour grapes at times vs honest NFL analysis which is not everyone's strong suit, most don't want to understand Xs and Os, spare me the labor and show me the baby.
I also don't detest Karl, he's a reflection of a lot of people who play fantasy football and he's just as entitled to his opinions as we ours. But I find much of it simply rooted in $$$, again not a bad thing as I gamble like a fiend at times on the spreads, but I take it with a grain of salt.
-He wants to get a real Waddle supporter up in arms, it's his ammo, let it go and just joke back with him is what i mostly do.
