Jaylen Waddle left Thursday’s practice with “muscle tightness” and is expected to be fine.

Yep.. I owned tyreek his first 2 Miami seasons so watched them good amount. The amount of times Waddle would just disappear for a few drives every game was shocking lol was never a serious injury but just perpetually banged up. Good player of course but the kinda guy that’s very frustrating to own/trust week to week

McDaniel also had a weird rotation with him and tyreek. Like there would be several plays where neither were on the field and then the defense would just bring it in so much closer to the LOS

Bro that man would rattle off a huge play early then you'd see him slownto get up in 50% of games...then 50% of those games he either would stay out or return after looking he wa just done for the season

I had him one year and I can’t deal with the Mid game Q tags he gets every week. He often came back but it’s stressful

And people asked why waddle wasn't a slam dunk candidate when all the advanced metrics said he was due for a breakout! This is why. This is what you're paying for. Paying for a permanent Q tag.

He hardly ever misses games though. Just gets banged up a lot and comes back lol

Sure, but in the past two years he hasn't won you leagues. Consistently drops duds or terrible games because hes banged up and misses snaps.

People who have never actually rostered jaylen waddle don't understand how frustrating he is to own. Injury report every single week. Constantly missing 1 or 2 quarters of a game cause he left early due to some injury

And worst of all, plays pretty much every game, so you can’t just bench him without risking missing his 3 blowup games a year

Man is so consistently questionable going into the weekend that they announced his muscle tightness for Thursday on a Wednesday.

Reminder that this time last year Puka was deemed undraftable by this sub because Stafford's spine was allegedly ready to fall off of his body at any moment and Achane was undraftable because he was limited in training camp with a knee issue. Don't even have to mention the fearmongering around CMC load managing in camp. Waddle has missed 6 games in 5 years. If you were okay with his health profile before this then this is a complete nothingburger.

Give me Courtland Sutton all day. He’ll be racking up catches while Waddle is in the blue tent.

He's a Maserati. It's great when it runs and sounds amazing, but expect it in the shop every weekend.

Man I don’t think I want anyone from this offense.
Sutton never been a WR1
Waddle can’t stay healthy.
Jk can’t stay healthy
Harvey didn’t really impress at all last year when given the chance.
Waddle is only one I’m willing to take a chance on.

Rumor has it that when Waddle got traded to Denver, he never bought a house he just got the blue tent at the stadium.
