Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle led all Miami Dolphins pass catchers on Thursday Night Football.
Jaylen Waddle continued to assert himself as the top pass catching threat for the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night. Waddle led the team with six catches for eighty-two yards but failed to find the endzone for the third time in four games.
Waddle has become the Dolphins de facto wide receiver one in the absence of Tyreek Hill. Miami has struggled this season but Waddle is averaging 14.4 yards per reception and is on pace to match his career high in touchdown receptions (8).
There is plenty of turmoil surrounding the Dolphins right now and this loss to the Baltimore Ravens won’t help but as long as Waddle remains the undisputed top option in their passing attack he can be counted on as a wide receiver two for fantasy managers.

Dolphins star wideout Tyreek Hill to undergo season ending surgery for a torn ACL and multiple ligaments.
Miami Dolphins superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill is set to miss the rest of the 2025 season with a torn ACL and several other torn ligaments in his knee. The Dolphins will be without their top target which will require other talent to step up.
The logical expectation is that receiver Jaylen Waddle will take over the reins as the top target in the offense along with De’Von Achane who is a receiving threat out of the backfield. Of note, Darren Waller had a productive night versus the Jets with a 3-28-2 receiving line. Malik Washington figures to gain snap share from the slot as well.
Waddle has scored 13.2 fantasy points per game which ranks 24th. He is in line to become a higher end WR2 in fantasy football. Achane’s 25% target share is No.2 and will most assuredly go up which will help him return top-5 RB value the rest of the season.

Miami’s WR duo score but offense continues to struggle
Miami faced off against Buffalo in an AFC East clash for Thursday night football. In a game where the Bills were heavy favorites, the Dolphins were able to trade blows and keep the game close for much of the night. The Dolphins went into the half tied after an impressive 16-play drive ending with a Waddle TD. They then started the 4th with a Hill TD to tie the game again. Unfortunately, due to a penalty and then a turnover, Miami saw its record fall to 0-3.
Although both Waddle and Hill found the end zone, the offense struggled to move the ball through the air, and neither receiver was able to break 50 yards. The creative, explosive Miami offense from a couple of years ago seems to have disappeared. Hill and Waddle are in the boom or bust territory and becoming heavily touchdown dependent. After two decent fantasy outings, this may be the time to sell high on the Miami receivers.

The Miami Dolphins put up more than 8 points this week but still got beat by division rival New England Patriots.
The New England Patriots earned their first win of the season Sunday, edging out the Miami Dolphins 33-27 in a back-and-forth battle at Hard Rock Stadium.
Sophomore quarterback Drake Maye delivered a sharp performance, completing 19 of 23 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns, he also added 31 yards on the ground and adding a score too. Rhamondre Stevenson had the most on the ground for the Patriots with 54 yards, while averaging 4.9 yards per carry. Stevenson was also involved in the receiving game having 5 catches for 88 yards. It was a big day for Stevenson, all while rookie running back Treveyon Henderson only played on 32% of snaps.
New England’s special teams provided a game-changing moment when Antonio Gibson returned a kickoff 90-yards for a touchdown. This was one play after Dolphins’ Malik Washington returned a 74-yard punt return for a touchdown. Both team’s special teams provided back-to-back blows, but ultimately Patriots edge out Dolphins.
For the Dolphins they did provide more offense than they did in Week 1 woes. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for over 300 yards and two scores. The Dolphins running game once again could get going on the ground, De’Von Achane rushed 11 times for just 30 yards, however, Achane provided a spark in the receiving game having 8 grabs for 92 yards and touchdown. Also, in the receiving game we got vintage Tyreek Hill going for 109 yards on 6 catches. Jaylen Waddel was another player who contributed to the receiving game, hauling in 5 catches for 68 yards and score.
The Patriots improve to 1-1 with the victory, while the Dolphins drop to 0-2, and still searching for their first win of the season.

The Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is being reviewed by the NFL for his domestic dispute.
The Miami Dolphins have had a rough week overall. First, getting blown out by the Indianapolis Colts 33-8 in their season opener. The offense looked lost having 3 turnovers and only 211 total yards. If getting blown out wasn’t enough the NFL has launched an investigation on their star wide receiver Tyreek Hill. They are looking into his domestic violence that is being part of his divorce case. If the NFL determines this violates the Personal Conduct Policy, he may face suspension.
Hill has also been reported to be involved in trade rumors, but no team will trade for the receiver until the legal situation, and the NFL investigation is conducted. As for fantasy, Hill had one of his worst seasons last year. Week one this season did not help the cause having 4 catches for 40 yards. For the rest of the season it will depend on if this offense can get back on track like they once were two seasons ago, but for now Hill will have his hand full facing Patriots this week and Bills next week.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel says that Tyreek Hill is on track to play Week 1.
It has been a rocky offseason for Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill. After blasting the team publicly and wanting out of Miami at the end of the 2024 season, he has had to do a lot to make amends with his teammates. Recently, Hill wasn’t voted to be team captain for the first time in his 3-year tenure with the team.
Hill hasn’t practiced the last few weeks due to an oblique and calf injury. Many have suspected that the injury may be a band aid to a deeper problem between Hill and the organization. With McDaniel saying Hill is lining up to play Week 1, those concerns can be quelled momentarily.
The focus now shifts to his Week 1 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy gamers will be watching closely as his ADP has been suppressed in all formats. Any return to prime form will reap massive rewards for those who roster him. Alternately, any implosion between Hill and the team will have a direct impact on his play. The door isn’t entirely shut on Hill playing for a different team during the 2025 season.
