From the episode

He gets to Arizona Cardinals this week. If he does nothing against the Cardinals and Bowen Nix can't look like a semi capable quarterback, then final. I will come into next week's show and give you the past. I'm still going to have Waddle ranked higher in my rest of season rankings when I do those today.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Waddle's name value and Arizona matchup justify holding despite recent 4-catch, 24-yard performance.

Despite frustration over Waddle's recent performance (4 catches for 24 yards in Week 7), the source is holding him with conviction. The reasoning: Waddle faces Arizona this week, and if he produces against the Cardinals, the market will re-rate him favorably due to name recognition and pedigree. The source argues that even if Waddle and a competing option like Jeremy Bernard have identical performances, Waddle will generate more excitement and opportunity cost—making him worth holding over cutting for Bernard. The source also states he will rank Waddle higher in rest-of-season rankings despite the recent slump.
