Look of the Day for Thu. Sept. 12: Waddle ya do now?

We set the record for the quickest Look of the Day winner in series history on Wednesday when Taylor Ward led off the game with a home run. Thanks for the no-sweat winner, Taylor! With the NFL back in action, let's gun for a third straight winner with our favorite prop bet for "Thursday Night Football."

Look of the Day: Jaylen Waddle over 64.5 receiving yards (-110 FanDuel)

The Miami Dolphins are hosting the Buffalo Bills for an AFC East showdown on TNF, and we're looking for Waddle to have a strong performance in the receiving game.

Waddle went for 109 receiving yards on only five targets in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, highlighted by a 63-yard catch and run. The most encouraging part of his Week 1 performance, though, was that he led all Dolphins wide receivers with 51 snaps even though he left the game to get checked out for a concussion. 

That's no surprise considering what Miami's depth chart looks like right now. The Dolphins have three wide receivers on injured reserve, and Odell Beckham Jr. and Malik Washington have also been ruled out for Thursday night. Only five WRs will be suiting up for Miami in this game. Plus, Raheem Mostert has been ruled out, and De'Von Achane is listed as a game-time decision.

Tua Tagovailoa will have no choice but to feed Waddle and Tyreek Hill with targets. With so few options in the receiving game, Tagovailoa might send double-digit targets Waddle's way. We know how explosive Waddle can be with the ball in his hands, so he doesn't even need that many touches to hit this over.
