I was wrong about Jalen Waddle...Jalen Waddle's peripherals are actually fine. You know, like he has a 22, 23% target share. Like I'm not that upset. If you were to guarantee me that going into this season, I'd say he'd probably be a top 24 wide receiver, but he's completely worthless in fantasy because Bo Nix doesn't know how to play quarterback.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalProjection
Waddle's solid target share (22-23%) is worthless due to Bo Nix's historically bad QB play.
JJ Zachariason admits he was wrong on Waddle this season, noting that while Waddle's peripherals remain solid with a 22-23% target share, Bo Nix's historically poor quarterback play has rendered him "completely worthless in fantasy." Zachariason emphasizes that he never foresaw Nix having a sub-5 yard average depth of target through six weeks—the lowest of any QB with 100+ attempts since 2016—which has devastated Waddle's fantasy value despite his actual route share and target allocation being respectable.
