Jaylen Waddle – WR

Rookie wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has adjusted to the NFL quite well so far. The speedy wideout was drafted No. 6 overall by the Miami Dolphins this year although he hasn’t yet had a 100-yard receiving game, the player is averaging 57 yards per game per contest.

Not only this, but Waddle also leads the team with 622 receiving yards and has scored three touchdowns – two in the air and one on the ground.

After a week of the Carolina Panthers’ secondary struggling mightily against the Washington Football Team, they’ll have their hands full with Waddle.

Tua Tagovailoa has found a strong connection with his former Alabama teammate and Waddle is getting more and more comfortable each week with his abilities.

Carolina cornerback Donte Jackson was absolutely torched against Washington’s top receiver Terry McLaurin last week. The LSU product will likely have a short leash against Waddle if he lines up against him during this game.

There are other solid receiving options on this Miami team. But Waddle can be the most electrifying, meaning the Panthers have to keep him locked up this week.
