Both remain in playoff conversation — the Steelers hold a lead in the AFC North, while Miami sits tenth in the conference standings.

Let’s look at Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle's PrizePicks stats and pick projections for Monday Night Football

Jaylen Waddle Stats, Pick for Monday Night Football 

RB De’Von Achane is the centerpiece of Miami's offense, leading to a 45.3% rush-play rate (13th). Is there still room for Waddle to get a significant slice of the pie?

Let’s look at his projected stats at PrizePicks, where you can win real money if your picks are right.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle Projection: 63.5 Receiving Yards

Over his last three games, Waddle is averaging 6.7 targets, 3.7 receptions, and 47.3 receiving yards per contest. The former Alabama standout tends to deliver his best numbers when facing zone coverage, carrying 2.72 yards per route run compared to 1.63 when seeing man, per Pro Football Focus.

However, the Steelers feature man coverage at the league's fifth-highest rate, as per Sharp Football Analysis. In a two-game split. Waddle is recording only 48.5 receiving yards per contest against teams in the top five of man coverage rate.

That said, Monday night’s game script could hurt Waddle. Pittsburgh allows 0.00 expected points added (EPA) per dropback (13th) compared to 0.04 EPA per rushing attempt allowed (27th), per Sumer Sports.

Keep in mind, the Fins have a 45.3% rush-play rate (13th), and Achane is the offense’s best skill position player, as witnessed by his 5.8 yards per carry and his league-leading 4.10 yards after contact per carry. PrizePicks projections have Achane in line for 79.5 rushing yards on MNF.

Adding to a potential dip in Waddle’s workload, Miami struggles to protect the passer, ranking 27th in pass block win rate (per ESPN). Meanwhile, the Steelers sit third in pass rush win rate.
