- 117 receiving yards
- 4 touchdowns
His strong performance highlighted his potential as a key red-zone threat for the Dolphins.
Dolphins’ Recent Performance
Miami has been gaining momentum lately, winning three of their last four games. This success sets a hopeful backdrop for Waller’s return. They are poised to face a struggling Saints team that has had a challenging season.
