Not playing in season finale Waddle (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Waddle had been listed as questionable for the season finale after he managed just two limited practices this week while tending to the injury to his ribs, and with little at stake in Sunday's contest, the Dolphins will err on the side of caution and hold the receiver out. He'll conclude his fifth NFL season with a 64-910-6 receiving line on 100 targets to go along with 28 rushing yards over 16 games. Miami will have Malik Washington, Cedrick Wilson, Theo Wease, Tahj Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as its available options at receiver for Week 18.

Not expected to play Sunday Waddle, who is officially listed as questionable with a rib injury, isn't expected to play in Sunday's season finale against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The same applies to running back De'Von Achane (shoulder, doubtful), and if both players are indeed unavailable for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, the Dolphins will be without their top two playmakers on offense in Week 18. Malik Washington, Cedrick Wilson, Theo Wease, Tahj Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would be Miami's available WRs versus New England if Waddle is inactive.

Impact Waddle missed practice Wednesday and has since logged back-to-back limited sessions, though it sounds like his status for Sunday's divisional matchup and season finale could come down to the wire. It appears Miami will consider holding out a number of key playmakers, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, as Darren Waller (groin) will be placed on IR and De'Von Achane (shoulder) will sit out practice again Friday, though the standout running back hasn't yet been ruled out for Week 18. Waddle's status will be made official no later than 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Limited in return to practice Waddle (ribs) returned to a limited practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact After missing practice Wednesday, Waddle's return to a limited session a day later bodes well for his chances of being available for Sunday's season-finale against the Patriots. Friday's final injury report is set to determine whether the Dolphins' top wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared to face New England in Week 18.

Not practicing Waddle (ribs) isn't practicing Wednesday, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Waddle injured his ribs during the second quarter of Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. He returned late in the third quarter but ultimately played just 26 percent of Miami's snaps on offense. With 910 receiving yards on the season, Waddle has some extra motivation to suit up for Week 18 against New England if his availability comes down to a matter of pain tolerance.

Returns to game, but no catches Waddle (ribs) could not secure his only target during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He gained seven rushing yards on his only carry.

Impact Waddle was forced out of Sunday's win midway through the second quarter due to a ribs injury and initially listed as questionable to return, prior to which he had logged his sole carry of the day. He retook the field late in the third quarter, but failed to record any further statistics beyond being targeted once for a short incompletion with just over five minutes left on the game clock. The performance was crushing for fantasy mangers who trusted Waddle in a crucial matchup, though he had put up a respective 5-72-0 receiving line versus the Bengals in Week 16, a game which also saw Quinn Ewers line up under center. Waddle will have one last chance to display chemistry with Ewers during the Dolphins' regular-season finale on the road at New England in Week 18.

Sustains ribs injury Waddle (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.

Impact Waddle injured his ribs in the second quarter of Miami's matchup against Tampa Bay. He didn't record a single reception before leaving the field Sunday, though he did log one carry for seven yards. Malik Washington, Cedrick Wilson, Theo Wease and Tahj Washington will operate as the Dolphins' only available wide receivers as long as Waddle remains sidelined.

Sets pace for air attack Sunday Waddle brought in five of nine targets for 72 yards in the Dolphins' 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Impact Waddle flashed good chemistry with rookie first-time starter Quinn Ewers, leading the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The swapping out of Tua Tagovailoa for Ewers thus seemed to give Waddle's outlook a boost, as the talented wideout posted his best receiving yardage total in the last five contests. Waddle should have the opportunity to continue working with Ewers in a Week 17 home matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Limited to two catches Monday Waddle brought in two of four targets for 26 yards in the Dolphins' 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.

Impact Although Tua Tagovailoa had his most productive passing effort since Week 9, Waddle was only a bit player in his quarterback's production. The talented wideout finished with his lowest reception, receiving yardage and target totals since Week 7, a particularly untimely downturn for fantasy managers rolling with him in their playoff games. Waddle should have a good opportunity to bounce back in Week 16, as the Bengals pay a visit to South Florida on Sunday afternoon.

Five catches, including early TD Waddle caught five of seven targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets. He also rushed once for 21 yards.

Impact Waddle capped the opening drive with a three-yard touchdown catch. Miami went with a run-heavy approach the rest of the way while playing with the lead and facing third-string Jets quarterback Brady Cook for most of the game, but Waddle still reached the five-catch threshold for the eighth time this season while leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. Waddle will have a nice opportunity to build on this outing in Week 15 against a Steelers defense that has struggled to contain wide receivers.

Quiet day in Week 13 win Waddle brought in three of six targets for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact Waddle finished with the second-most receiving yards on the afternoon for the Dolphins after a slow start, and he also set the pace in targets. Waddle's yardage total, his lowest since Week 7, wasn't as extraordinary when considering Tua Tagovailoa passed for only 157 yards overall on the day. Waddle should remain a key part of the air attack in a Week 14 road matchup against the Jets.
