Was it right or wrong to draft Jaylen Waddle this year? After Week 1, if you faded Waddle, well done! You were right. Waddle was drafted in Round 4 of fantasy drafts and had only one catch for two yards. Week 2 went a bit differently. Eight catches for 138 yards. He led the team in every statistic. He operated as a true WR1, and the production followed. Until Week 3, that is. Two catches. Ten yards.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Waddle's volatile early production makes week-to-week evaluation unreliable.

Waddle's early-season volatility exemplifies the difficulty of evaluating players on a week-to-week basis. After a disappointing Week 1 (one catch, two yards) following his Round 4 draft selection, he rebounded in Week 2 with eight catches for 138 yards and led the team in every statistic as a true WR1. Week 3 regressed to two catches and ten yards. The source notes this pattern of inconsistency is likely to continue throughout the season, making it difficult to stake a definitive claim on his value.
