Jaylen Waddle's injury update isn't good news for fantasy owners

The Miami Dolphins may be holding a slim early lead against the Buccaneers, but if they are going to win, they will have to do it without Jaylen Waddle, maybe.

The Dolphins' top WR went down early in the 2nd quarter with what appeared to be a rib injury. He was escorted back to the locker room and was ruled "questionable" to return.

It's not what fantasy football fans wanted to hear, as most are playing their championship or playoff games in Week 17.

Jaylen Waddle would be a surprise return for Miami Dolphins in Week 17 after rib injury

The decision to play Waddle isn't surprising as Mike McDaniel is trying to give quarterback Quinn Ewers as many weapons as he can, but fantasy owners should have been more cautious heading into this week, as Miami was going to start a rookie QB for only the second time this season.
