Broncos WR Marvin Mims said he will be intrigued to see how he fits in alongside new Broncos Z receiver Jaylen Waddle.

The Waddle trade was a true gut punch for Marvin Mims dynasty truthers. Appearing on Altitude TV, Marvin Mims voiced surprise at the Broncos’ trade for Jaylen Waddle while acknowledging their similar, explosive playing styles.

 

Though Mims takes pride in his versatility as a receiver and returner, he has yet to establish himself as a consistent starter three years into his career. With Waddle now in the fold, the 24-year-old Mims is expected to remain a versatile but fantasy-unfriendly depth piece for the 2026 campaign.

After weeks of trade denials, the Dolphins sent Jaylen Waddle to Denver for a haul of premium draft picks. While Waddle’s production recently dipped due to injuries and Miami’s run-heavy scheme, the 27-year-old now joins a high-volume Broncos passing attack. He’ll challenge Courtland Sutton to be Bo Nix’s top target in 2026, meanwhile Tutu Atwell and Malik Washington are vying for the defactor WR1 role on the rebuilding Dolphins.

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.

Jaylen Waddle leads the Miami Dolphins in receiving, recording five receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown. Waddle’s biggest play of the day was a quick pass over the middle where he turned on the jets and found the endzone for a 43-yard catch and run.

 

Waddle has had two top 10 WR finishes since the Tyreek Hill injury and will continue to be the focal point of the Dolphins’ passing game. Suppose the Dolphins can keep this momentum rolling into next week. In that case, managers should feel confident inserting Waddle into their lineups in hopes he can replicate performances from his rookie and sophomore seasons.

Wide Receiver Jaylen Waddle has his best game of the season against the Carolina Panthers in a brutal loss. Waddle finished with 6 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown on 9 targets. This is Miami’s first game without star receiver Tyreek Hill after he dislocated his knee, thus ending his season. Waddle has assumed the WR1 role for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in Hill’s absence.

 

 

Waddle owners should rejoice! Waddle will now be the top option in the passing game for Miami. News came out that Miami is planning to release Tyreek Hill after the season. This makes Waddle a great trade option in dynasty. Waddle has elite speed and a must start for the rest of the season.

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.
