From the episode

Jalen Waddle's playing the Joker and Denver. And if you remember last year, people were all about Evan Ingram because the word Joker was attached to him. So Joker means value basically in the Denver offense... Sean Payton has always had this Joker role where he lines, it's usually not a wide receiver. It's usually a tight end or a running back where he lines these guys all over the field

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Waddle assigned Joker role in Denver; Zachariason sees it as value, not concern.

Adam Schefter reported that Jalen Waddle is playing the 'Joker' role in the Denver offense; JJ Zachariason contextualizes the Joker role as a Sean Payton deployment tool that typically involves lining players all over the field in interesting ways, historically used with tight ends and running backs (Darren Sproles, Jimmy Graham); suggests the Joker label itself shouldn't be a major concern and may represent value in the Denver offense.
