Following the season-ending injury to wide receiver Tyreek Hill, fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle has served as the Miami Dolphins' No. 1 option in the passing game.

Going into Week 15, Waddle is sitting with 812 receiving yards and six touchdowns through the air, both tops on the team.

Is Jaylen Waddle playing tonight?

Yes, Waddle is active and healthy, he just hasn't been targeted in the passing game yet after one drive.

Miami's offense got off to a slow start and only tallied one first down on the first drive before punting it away, so Waddle didn't really get a chance to get going.

While Waddle has posted some lackluster performances this season, he has not yet been blanked in any game, so he should get on the stat sheet soon.
