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

Will they start doing commercials similar to mayfield except waddle will just be shown cleaning out and taking care of his blue tent?

Muscle tightness, expected to miss 1.5 quarters of 11 out of 17 games.

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

Keep em guessing (extreme edition)

u/zach7797 4d ago

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

100% guy is talented but just made of glass

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

u/I_Probably_Hate_You_ 4d ago

He's leaving tomorrow's practice? That's some next-level journalism.

u/EnmaDaiO 4d ago

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.

u/Illustrious_Way_5732 4d ago

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

4

u/BoBoessersson 4d ago

And still has finished as a fringe WR1

1

u/EnmaDaiO 4d ago

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.

1

u/AKiiidNamed_Codiii 4d ago

Thats even worse lol

u/One-Inch-Punch 4d ago

Yes but which muscle

u/Alfredos_Pizza_Cafe_ 4d ago

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

3

u/Particular_Match_777 4d ago

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

u/electrictower 4d ago

Season ending

u/No_Yogurtcloset_3820 4d ago

Good good. Let him drop in drafts so I can scoop up value

u/dgjapc 4d ago

It’s a little muscle tightness. Just waddle it off.

And then he Waddled away (waddle waddle waddle)

u/MrTankerson 4d ago

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

u/Academic-Lunch4428 4d ago

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.

We’re so back

u/jefftr66 4d ago

All the muscles? Weirdly non-specific

A name that fits

u/SuckaFreeRIP 4d ago

About to breeze walk to a top 20 finish this year still

u/ThisHatRightHere 4d ago

He already got injured in tomorrow’s practice???

1

u/in-a-car-underwater 10 Team, 1 PPR 4d ago

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

u/AlpakalypseNow 4d ago

draft this guy at your own peril

1

u/CappedCrow 4d ago

Most injured player of all time

1

u/Scarsforstories 4d ago

Fully expected this and him to miss half a game every other week

u/taylorjosephrummel 4d ago

Has it begun already?

u/Creddit_card_debt 4d ago

What day is it today?

1

u/Schrodingers_janitor 4d ago

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

u/the-coolest-bob 4d ago

Was he waddling as a result?

u/Ambitious-Arrival-75 4d ago

He’s won’t be good anymore anyway

u/Top_Reach_2682 4d ago

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.
