"Still, anything that slows Waddle deals another blow to a Dolphins passing game that's already been been significantly slowed due to an injured reserve list that includes wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee), tight end Darren Waller (pectoral), right guard James Daniels (pectoral) and right tackle Austin Jackson (toe)."
"Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (11 touchdowns, 10 interceptions) will lead the Dolphins' passing game against the league's No. 1 pass defense (141.2 passing yards allowed per game), and Tagovailoa is coming off back-to-back three-interception games. Atlanta's six interceptions are tied for sixth in the league and quarterbacks have a 75.1 passer rating against the Falcons, which is second-lowest in the league, and they're only completing 59 percent of their passes, with is third-lowest in the league."
"The Falcons don't have a big pass rush (their 15 sacks are only one more than the Dolphins' 14 sacks). But they've only allowed seven touchdown passes, and their secondary, led by safeties Xavier Watts and Jessie Bates III, and cornerbacks A.J. Terrell Jr. and Mike Hughes, have been reasonably good."
Jaylen Waddle received treatment for hamstring ailments Thursday and is expected to play Sunday against Atlanta. The Dolphins' passing game is significantly slowed by injuries to Tyreek Hill (knee), Darren Waller (pectoral), James Daniels (pectoral) and Austin Jackson (toe) on injured reserve. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions and is coming off back-to-back three-interception games. Atlanta ranks as the league's No. 1 pass defense, allowing 141.2 passing yards per game, and opponents have a 75.1 passer rating against the Falcons. Atlanta has six interceptions and has allowed only seven touchdown passes. The backup quarterback competition between Quinn Ewers and Zach Wilson remains unsettled.
