Jared Wayne: Dolphins claim receiver off waivers from Texans

THE FACT. Miami claimed wide receiver Jared Wayne off waivers from Houston on Tuesday during its bye week and waived Ryan Miller to make room, per NBC Sports' Josh Alper, with NFL.com's Tuesday roundup listing the same claim. Alper noted Wayne appeared in all five Houston games this season with four catches for 65 yards and became expendable after the Texans acquired Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Cardinals.
THE VERDICT. Do not add him. Four catches in five games is the usage story, and he lands on a 0-5 Miami team that is on bye this week. Fade in DFS and ignore in Redraft. The more useful read runs the other direction: Houston is already shedding receiver bodies after the Harrison Jr. trade, which points toward a more concentrated target share in that room. That is the side of this transaction worth acting on.
