The league’s fastest wide receiver duo is there to stay in Miami for at least the next two seasons as the Dolphins lock up the former 2021 first round pick. Since his record-setting rookie season that saw him amass the most receptions by a rookie in league history (since broken by Puka Nacua), Waddle finished as a Top-10 receiver in 2022 and held his own as the Dolphins’ No. 2 option running alongside Tyreek Hill in 2023. Waddle’s production was never going to be as consistent as it was in his rookie year with Tyreek Hill around, and that’s largely been how things have played out in two years sharing the field with him: Waddle has finished as a weekly WR1 eight times over the past two seasons to go along with 18 WR3 or worse finishes (outside the weekly top-24). For those of you counting at home, that means in his 31 starts over the past two seasons, he’s managed to find the middle ground as a WR2 (WR13-24 finish) just five times since Tyreek Hill joined the team. That hot and cold tendency hasn’t caused the Dolphins to hesitate in signing him long-term, though, as he’s made his presence felt as a chain mover for Miami after posting the 6th-highest first downs per route run in the NFL in 2023. The last domino remaining to fall before we can say for sure that Waddle’s future is locked in is QB Tua Tagovailoa’s contract. For the 2024 season, though, we can expect more of the same for Waddle relative to his production in 2023.
