From the episode

the Broncos wanted to use Jalen Waddle as a decoy to get a lot of other people open...his presence out of the backfield is a big reason why that was a touchdown.

STACKED’s take

Waddle was used as a decoy in Week 1; Chiefs' coverage scheme limited his impact.

Waddle was used as a decoy in Week 1 against Kansas City to open up other receivers; the Broncos used orbit motion with him on the first play to see how the Chiefs would adjust. While he didn't get the ball on most plays, his presence out of the backfield was a factor in at least one touchdown. The Chiefs' two-deep and three-deep coverage scheme effectively neutralized his deep-ball opportunities, forcing Denver to rely on underneath throws that required tackling.
