Despite missing last week’s game, Waddle now has the most receiving yards for a first-year Dolphin pass-catcher. Waddle passed the previous mark of 883 receiving yards, set by Chris Chambers in 2001.

The Dolphins lead the Saints 17-3 in the third quarter.
Waddle is closing in on a bigger rookie record. Anquan Boldin’s 101 receptions are the most ever for an NFL rookie. Waddle is up to 95 receptions with his 9 on Monday night.
