What It Means:

Parker suffered a setback to his hamstring and was downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day. He has now been placed on injured reserve and will miss at least the next three games. In his absence, Jaylen Waddle should dominate targets from Tua Tagovailoa in a plus matchup and Mike Gesicki could also be more involved. Our models expect Waddle to see 8.7 targets against the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Waddle's Week 9 projection includes 5.7 receptions, 65.3 yards, 0.51 touchdowns, and 12.9 FanDuel points. His salary is $6,100.
