"Waddle enters his fifth NFL season after a somewhat inexplicable down year in 2024. Granted, he wasn't fully healthy at times (and missed two games), but Waddle's target share dipped from 20%-plus during his first three seasons to 16% last season (56th among WRs). He posted career-low marks in every key category and ranked 52nd in fantasy PPG after finishing 21st or better in each of his first three seasons. Same as Tyreek Hill, Waddle seemingly suffered from Miami facing two-high safeties at a league-high rate, and with both back for 2025, we may see more of the same. Waddle has the talent to allow a bounce-back campaign (especially with Hill entering his age-31 season), but he can't be trusted as more than a WR3."


"Waddle was forced out of Sunday's win midway through the second quarter due to a ribs injury and initially listed as questionable to return, prior to which he had logged his sole carry of the day. He retook the field late in the third quarter but failed to record any further statistics, beyond being targeted once for a short incompletion with just over five minutes remaining. The performance was crushing for fantasy mangers who trusted Waddle in a crucial matchup, though he had put up a respective 5-72-0 receiving line versus the Bengals in Week 16, a game which also saw Quinn Ewers line up under center. Waddle will have one last chance to display chemistry with Ewers during the Dolphins' regular-season finale on the road at New England in Week 18."

"Dobbins signed with Denver in June. After struggling with injuries throughout most of his first four NFL seasons, Dobbins was handed the keys to the Chargers' backfield last season. He ran well (4.6 YPC, 1.9 YAC) but struggled as a receiver (his 3.8 YPT ranked 38th among 39 qualified RBs) and was an inconsistent fantasy producer (15-plus points seven times, but below 11 in the other six games). Dobbins missed four games (he's yet to play a full season), but he still managed 1,058 yards and nine TDs. He's now 26 years old and is expected to team up with second-round rookie RJ Harvey. The two very well could split carries, with Harvey taking the lead in passing situations. Dobbins is unlikely to see quite the volume he enjoyed in Los Angeles, but he'll have a respectable role in an ascending Denver offense. He's a fine mid-to-late-round target."


"According to Tomasson, the Broncos are still complementing the next steps for Dobbins, who was recently sent in for a second medical opinion on the injury he suffered on an apparent hip-drop tackle in the third quarter of the Week 10 win. Though the Broncos have a longer turnaround than normal in advance of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Dobbins looks to be at significant risk of being sidelined for the first time all season. Until the Broncos solidify an estimated timeline for Dobbins' return from the injury, any decision on a potential IR stint for the running back will be put on hold. Rookie RJ Harvey is the next man up for touches and snaps out of the Denver backfield and should be considered worthy of at least a cursory pickup in shallower leagues where he's still available while Dobbins' status is muddled."
