"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."
