Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is optimistic wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) will be able to play in the Wild Card Round versus the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday night.
The Dolphins held Waddle out for the final two games of the season, but they should have him back out there on Saturday. His return will result in less playing time for Cedrick Wilson, Robbie Chosen, and Chase Claypool.
numberFire's models project Waddle for 11.0 FanDuel points in the Wild Card Round, with 7.3 targets, 4.7 receptions, and 65.2 yards. The Chiefs allowed the third-fewest FanDuel points to wide receivers this season and their pass defense finished third-best in our opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings.
