Waddle enters Week 3 with a shoulder tag but a Week 2 surge keeps him in the FLEX conversation. Miami’s offense looked better as he hauled in 5 of 6 targets for 68 yards and a score, and a potential Bills shootout could amplify fantasy upside if he suits up. If he’s limited, his floor drops, pushing managers to consider safer FLEX options while monitoring game-time updates.

A healthy Waddle provides a high-ceiling, high-variance option in 12-team leagues, especially against a Bills secondary that allowed big points in Week 1. If inactive, the Dolphins will lean on others and the run game, making contingency plans essential for Week 3 lineups.

Buffalo vaults to 2-0 behind a flexible attack: a shootout in Week 1 led by Josh Allen and the run game, then a ground-heavy follow-up that kept the Jets at bay. Allen sits near the top of QB rankings, second only to Lamar Jackson, as Buffalo readies a primetime test vs Miami. With Miami 0-2, the Bills can push their AFC East grip to 3-0 and widen the distance in a potential playoff tilt.

Fantasy eyes stay glued to Allen’s dual threat and to how James Cook complements a leaky run defense. Allen’s mix of passing efficiency and rushing upside makes him a high-ceiling play in Week 3 against Miami, while Buffalo’s defense aims to stymie a division rival’s push. The narrative: Bills as division bullies, with Allen leading the charge in a must-watch showdown.
