Should I drop Jaylen Waddle for fantasy football Week 11? Is Jaylen Waddle a safe player to cut? Read the fantasy football waivers outlook.
Should I Drop Jaylen Waddle in Fantasy Football?
Part of Waddle’s struggles can be attributed to the Dolphins’ shaky offense this season. After quarterback Tua Tagovailoa went down with a concussion in Week 2 and missed four games, Miami’s offense spiraled. The passing game stalled, and the team struggled to find consistency without their leader under center.
Even with Tua’s return, the Dolphins haven’t managed to turn things around and currently sit at a disappointing 3-6. Without a reliable offense, Waddle’s fantasy value has plummeted, and his usual explosive upside has been nowhere to be found.

What makes Waddle’s situation even tougher for fantasy managers is the potential he still brings, making it difficult to drop him outright. It’s hard to cut ties with a player who’s proven he can produce at a high level, but at this point, it’s equally difficult to trust him in starting lineups.
Waddle’s shown he can be a playmaker, but the offense just isn’t clicking, and it’s left him with almost no fantasy value. He’s gone from a must-start to a bench stash, and managers are left hoping for a turnaround that may never come.
Who Should I Pickup in Week 11 Fantasy Football?
In Week 10 against the Rams, Waddle did lead the Dolphins in targets and receiving yards on Monday Night Football, which could indicate a small bounce-back. But after just one double-digit scoring performance this season (back in Week 1), it’s hard to feel confident in him going forward.
Fantasy managers should proceed with caution; while Waddle may have flashes, the risk of another quiet game is always lurking, making him a very shaky start.

For now, Waddle remains a hold, but he’s on thin ice in fantasy leagues. The Dolphins’ offense needs to regain some stability before he can be considered a reliable option again. Until we see consistent production, Waddle is best left on the bench, a tough reminder of how quickly a reliable asset can fall off the radar in fantasy football.
