His best performances seemed to come when he was targeted on in-breaking routes or slants over the middle, allowing him to get up to full speed, see the entire field, and make the right move to add yards after the catch. I think where you will see Waddle's stats jump is moving away from the Dolphins' tendency to throw passes at or behind the line of scrimmage – McDaniel loved the screen pass – and letting Waddle get out a little deeper.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Waddle's speed and route precision will shine with deeper targets under Payton.

Kevin Nogle identifies Waddle's strength as elite speed; his best performances came on in-breaking routes and slants over the middle that allowed him to reach full speed, see the field, and generate yards after the catch. He has a good catch radius and precise route running. Under Payton, Nogle expects Waddle's stats to jump as the Broncos move away from Miami's screen-pass heavy approach and let Waddle get deeper downfield.
