The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast on Jaylen Waddle

Waddle's 28% route target rate and league-leading air yards show elite per-route production despite scheme concerns.

Jalen Waddle without Tyreek Hill from week five on led the league in air yards, was targeted on 28% of his routes, and was fifth in yards per route run. Zachariason notes that Sean Payton has called Waddle a 'Joker,' but in Payton's Denver tenure, 'Joker' is short for 'we won't give you the ball,' which concerns him. However, on a per-route basis, Waddle was one of the best WRs in the league; everyone forgets because Mike McDaniel was scheming around his weaknesses as the offense fell apart last year. Zachariason is backing Waddle.
