There was a time when it was felt a wide receiver needed 3 years to become a dominant impact player. In recent years that has dropped to 1 or 2 years and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is the latest manifestation of that.
As a rookie in 2021, Waddle immediately became the No. 1 target for QB Tua Tagovailoa. He broke the NFL rookie record held by former Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin for receptions, catching 104 passes for 1,015 yards and 6 touchdowns – proving to be Tagovailoa’s security blanket more times than not, catching 74.3 percent of passes thrown his way.

With the arrival of dynamic Tyreek Hill, the roles of Dolphins receivers are expected to change, but Waddle’s value hasn’t taken a big hit as to where he has been going in early fantasy drafts.
