Waddle (quad) remained limited at practice Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Waddle maintained his practice level from Wednesday, Tyreek Hill was added to Miami's injury report Thursday after being limited by a foot injury. The duo's status thus is worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. If Waddle is available this weekend, his fantasy prospects could be looking up, with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) trending toward a return from IR.

Waddle was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a quadricep injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Waddle still has two opportunities to upgrade to full practice participation, which would put him in position to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Meanwhile, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since Week 2, and the expectation is that he'll clear the five-step concussion protocol and return from injured reserve to start Sunday. Waddle would stand to benefit substantially from Tagovailoa's return under center. The receiver had 150 receiving yards across Tagovailoa's two starts this season, and just 119 receiving yards in the four games Tagovailoa missed.

Waddle secured one of two targets for 11 yards during Miami's 16-10 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Waddle and Tyreek Hill combined for just two catches and 19 yards on four targets. Coming off a bye, the Dolphins' offense turned in yet another miserable performance despite facing off against a vulnerable Colts secondary, with the mid-game departure of Tyler Huntley (shoulder) only compounding the issues for Miami's passing game. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be eligible to return from IR as early as Week 8 against the Cardinals, but it's unclear when Miami anticipates the franchise quarterback retaking the field. If one of Huntley, Tim Boyle or Skylar Thompson (ribs) is again under center versus Arizona, it will be difficult to trust any of the Dolphins' pass catchers for fantasy purposes.

Waddle brought in four of eight targets for 46 yards in the Dolphins' 15-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Waddle checked in tied for second in targets and third in both receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon for the Dolphins, flashing some improved chemistry with quarterback Tyler Huntley. The upside of Waddle and the other members of the Dolphins' air attack is naturally capped without Tua Tagovailoa (IR-concussion), but the fourth-year wideout heads into a Week 6 bye with no fewer than four receptions in any game this season, albeit while exceeding 41 receiving yards only once. Waddle will likely work with Huntley for at least one more game when the Dolphins face the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 20 following a Week 6 bye.

Waddle secured four of six targets for 36 yards in the Dolphins' 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
Miami's offense ironically got off on a very good foot with 30 yards over its first two plays, and Waddle accounted for 14 of those on the Dolphins' first play from scrimmage. However, much like the team as a whole, it would go on to be a quiet and largely unproductive night for Waddle, who did record an 18-yard grab in the fourth quarter but gained just four yards on his other two catches. Like fellow wideout Tyreek Hill, Waddle doesn't figure to come close to flashing his true potential while working with either Tyler Huntley or Skylar Thompson (ribs) as his quarterback, and he'll face a pair of talented Patriots cornerbacks in a Week 5 road matchup.

Waddle secured four of five targets for 26 yards in the Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Like his position mate Tyreek Hill, Waddle saw his considerable upside capped by having to play with Skylar Thompson (ribs), and upon the latter's exit from the contest, Tim Boyle, as his two quarterbacks. Waddle now has back-to-back four-reception outings, and he's netted a forgettable 67 receiving yards in that pair of contests. There's not much reason for optimism in the short term, either, as Tua Tagovailoa's (IR-concussion) future is in limbo and Thompson may have an uphill battle to be ready for a Week 4 Monday night home matchup against the Titans.

Waddle brought in all four targets for 41 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Considering how ineffective Tua Tagovailoa was in an injury-shortened three-interception performance and the fact Waddle was pulled from the game early due to the lopsided score, the fourth-year wideout's numbers weren't a complete washout. Waddle actually outproduced position mate Tyreek Hill (3-24-0) through the air, but his numbers still were a far cry from his 5-109-0 line Week 1 versus the Jaguars. Waddle will look to boost his numbers back up with either Tagovailoa or Skylar Thompson as his quarterback in a Week 3 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Sept. 22.

Waddle brought in all five targets for 109 yards in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed once for three yards.
EDGE Analysis
Waddle was overshadowed by fellow wideout Tyreek Hill -- who finished with seven receptions for 130 yards and a touchdown -- but the fourth-year pro made quite an impact in his own right. The Alabama product connected with Tua Tagovailoa for a big 63-yard reception to start an early third-quarter drive, and he also played a key role in a late second-quarter march that resulted in the Dolphins' first touchdown by drawing a pass interference penalty and subsequently recording a 20-yard grab. Waddle also was evaluated for a concussion in the first half but cleared after a visit to the medical tent, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. Waddle won't have to wait long to attempt to build on his impressive season-opening effort, as the Bills come to town for a Week 2 divisional showdown Thursday night.

Waddle (undisclosed) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Dolphins took a cautious approach to Waddle's recovery from an undisclosed injury for most of training camp, and the star receiver is now fully healthy to begin the regular season. The same goes for Tyreek Hill (thumb), so Tua Tagovailoa will have both his top pass-catching options available for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Jaguars. Meanwhile, both Odell Beckham (undisclosed) and River Cracraft (upper body) will miss at least the first four games of the season, while rookie Malik Washington (quadriceps) was limited Wednesday. That leaves Miami thin at wideout behind Hill, Waddle and No. 3 option Braxton Berrios.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Waddle (undisclosed) and Tyreek Hill (thumb) will both practice and have had "no setbacks," Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDaniel seems to be indicating that Hill and Waddle, both of whom have been held out of practice recently due to minor injuries, remain on track to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Jaguars. Waddle practiced in a non-contact jersey last week, but it seems likely that his activity level will now be ramping up. If McDaniel doesn't offer more information on the health of Miami's star wide receivers earlier, Wednesday's official practice report will reveal more about the status of both Waddle and Hill.
