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.

Thursday night’s Dolphins–Bills clash fuels bold fantasy daydreams: fans would steal Buffalo stars for Miami, even musing about swapping QB, coach, and lineup pieces. Josh Allen tops the wishlist, while Spencer Brown at right tackle emerges as the clearest on-field steal for a quick fantasy lift.

Predictions skew Buffalo-heavy, with a 47-17 blowout cited by some and others warning of Bills dominance on time of possession and the run game. Tua Tagovailoa and Lamar Jackson pop up in conversations, and McDermott’s coaching is cited as a key variable shaping fantasy upside in this rivalry.
