As a rookie in 2021, Waddle had 104 catches for 1,015 receiving yards, and 6 touchdowns. Throughout his second season, Waddle had a career-high 1,356 yards and eight touchdowns. Nonetheless, Miami traded with the Chiefs for WR Tyreek Hill and Waddle rapidly grew to become the staff’s second possibility.
By 14 video games in 2024, Waddle has 54 catches for 700 yards and two touchdowns. He’s fourth in receptions and third in receiving yards for the Dolphins this season. His best recreation to this point in 2024 was eight catches for 144 yards and a landing vs. the Patriots. Waddle’s receiving yards per recreation is at a career-low (50.0). Final season he averaged (72.4) yards per recreation. Miami’s offense will not be as potent in 2024 and everybody’s numbers are down due to it. In Week 16, the Dolphins are anticipated to be with out WR Jayeln Waddle for the primary time this season.
