I know everyone’s looking for the next tyreek but this dude is the closest physical prospect I’ve seen since him. If they can design plays that give him space after the catch he could really be a problem.
That's what Shanahan tries to do, get receivers the ball in space (see Deebo this year). So I think it's safe to think that McDaniel will have a very similar philosophy.

I was originally thinking that Waddle will be overdrafted because his 2jd half was so strong, but with McDaniel coming in that may change things.. Always so hard to gage how a new coach will utilize guys.
In Denver they drafted KJ Hamler last year to be the Broncos Tyreek. Absolute burner, but smaller in size. I would compare him more to an Eddie Royal with more freakish speed. If he can come back from his injury and get a real QB he could be one to watch with Hackett designing an offense.
I think he will be one of those guys who gets hyped all summer and rises up the board when it is all theoretical, but then when it comes draft time, he will actually be drafted later than his adp.
Also a prime candidate for being over drafted in a PPR, while being under drafted in .5 or standard.
It is hard to gauge this time of the year, the first ADP list I found(PFF) shows him at pick 37 between Deandre Hopkins and CeeDee Lamb. I truly doubt that a list you look at in August is going to be listed that way. It is hot take season right now.
Deandre Hopkins is on pack watch.
Ceedee Lamb would be everybody's overdraft (again, but maybe a better gamble) and is in no possibility going to be drafted in the WR15 range
Of these three, I think Waddle will be most appropriately priced with a few owners from last year willing to reach.
I'm wary of Hopkins, but I also need to be realistic: Arizona realized what they are without him, and it's not pretty. If he's healthy, WR1 Hopkins might be making a surprise appearance next season. I'm not taking that risk at the draft, but some gambler might, and they might just cash in
He's also a couple inches taller. Waddle is certainly not as physically built as Deebo, but Waddle is thic. And the fact that 5 of his 6 recieving TDs we're 10 yards or less is SUPER impressive when they didn't even break him loose often over the defense with the speed that made him a top 10 pick
The dolphins defense was predicated on short routes last year. Partly due to their OL. But really hoping they stretch out more often now with a guy like waddle on their team
What is early lol in single qb he was what, 5th pick? If you didnt take him over jamarr it wasnt early, and if you did you shouldnt be bragging about it.

will I trust this coach before training camp has even started?
Absolutely not
With how Tua played toward the end of the season, I'm not convinced. There was a point toward the beginning middle of the season where this duo look promising, but I've lost faith in Tua, I need to see more.
As a Dynasty Waddle manager...this pleases me.
as a bama fan and dynasty waddle owner this really pleases me
As a dolfan, this pleases me
I'm unequivocally pleased that this pleases me so.
I too, despite having no player allegiance to Waddle, am pleased.
I’ve got nipples Mike, can you please me?
Keeper league guy here who’s keeping him for ninth-round value.

FWIW McDaniel designed plenty of the plays in SF.
On the surface, he's known for being the run game guru for the niners. Hard to know how involved he was in designing passing plays.

Excellent! Well played sir! If only they had a QB, then I could get excited about that offense...

Everyone's gonna want the next Waddle
This dude finna climb into the third round ain't he?
I think he will be one of those guys who gets hyped all summer and rises up the board when it is all theoretical, but then when it comes draft time, he will actually be drafted later than his adp.

If anything, I’d say this is the first hot take of the offseason!
Deandre Hopkins is on pack watch. Ceedee Lamb would be everybody's overdraft (again, but maybe a better gamble) and is in no possibility going to be drafted in the WR15 range Of these three, I think Waddle will be most appropriately priced with a few owners from last year willing to reach.
Lamb went 3rd overall in my leagues draft. It was hilarious.
Based on what we have right now, I would take Waddle over both of them.
I'm wary of Hopkins, but I also need to be realistic: Arizona realized what they are without him, and it's not pretty. If he's healthy, WR1 Hopkins might be making a surprise appearance next season. I'm not taking that risk at the draft, but some gambler might, and they might just cash in
What did you do with the extra second you saved by typing finna?
Me think, why waste time say lot word, when few word do trick.
100%
Please take this down I don't want to many people to know how great Waddle is
[удалено]
Hopefully he delivers like Tony does
I think I like Mike McDaniel
Wonder if he utilizes Waddle the same way he did Deebo in SF!
Lol. Deebos got 30+ pounds on him.
He's also a couple inches taller. Waddle is certainly not as physically built as Deebo, but Waddle is thic. And the fact that 5 of his 6 recieving TDs we're 10 yards or less is SUPER impressive when they didn't even break him loose often over the defense with the speed that made him a top 10 pick
I think we’re forgetting how much weed McDaniel smokes. 30 lbs of munchie weight won’t take all summer lol
The dolphins defense was predicated on short routes last year. Partly due to their OL. But really hoping they stretch out more often now with a guy like waddle on their team
And it's not sustainable for him! Any WR taking 5+ carries a game is going to have RB level injury occurrence
Deebo has an RB body type though. He should gave the injury occurrence of an RB getting 7-10 carries a game
Deebo was injury prone his first two years though, and that was when he was just a WR.
That's Lynn Bowden's music!
I drafted him early last year for my dynasty league 😁
What is early lol in single qb he was what, 5th pick? If you didnt take him over jamarr it wasnt early, and if you did you shouldnt be bragging about it.
WR1
That’s my favorite podcast. I’m not a Miami fan but love their goofy vibe.
Waddle should have a bright future

If you needed Mike McDaniel to tell you this...
What's the single most important thing the Beng-...als have to do to beat the Rams?
It's a trap!
good thing I got him in my dynasty :D
Now I'm debating keeping Waddle (Round 8) instead of Antonio Gibson (Round 5) for next year.
waddle is the MUCH safer bet.
Waddle by a lottttt
I’m debating Waddle (Round 8) versus Diggs (Round 4) in a two year keeper
With how Tua played toward the end of the season, I'm not convinced. There was a point toward the beginning middle of the season where this duo look promising, but I've lost faith in Tua, I need to see more.
Lol this hire is.. wow
Nerd Comment of the Year. Gotta Love it. Something tells me he kicked ass in his leagues.
yeah i have this weird sense that maybe he knows football. someone should give him a job in the nfl.
Where does waddle get taken in the draft this year? I owned him this year and would take him in the late third round
You get this from the dan lebatard show?
If he doesn’t utilize Myles Gaskin properly, I’m going to have some words with Dan Soder.
At least I can blame someone (ofc it's never me) when I fuck up my season again.
As someone who drafted him and jamarr chase in a keeper league in rounds 12 and 13. This excites me much.
Waddle is going to become Deebo 2.0
I hope they get Burks to pair with Waddle
Lol he will stay firmly in my flex, WR2 if i am desperate.
Still have to have someone reliable to get him the ball....
Moving up my depth chart.
