Elite efficiency and situation upgrade position Waddle as top-12 WR at WR24 ADP.

Jaylen WaddleWRDEN

Waddle is WR24 in ADP but projects as a top-12 fantasy WR. One of eight WRs last year to average 2+ yards per route and 15%+ route win rate, and has maintained this elite efficiency in three of his last four seasons. Situation upgrade from Miami (30th pass attempts, 25th pass yards) to Denver (4th pass attempts, 11th pass yards); also upgrade at QB. Jared expects Waddle to 'separate himself in a major way' from Courtland Sutton and be the clear number-one receiver in Denver's offense. Waddle was a top-10 pick in his draft and 'did some really good things in Miami,' but was limited by Tyreek Hill's presence and then the Dolphins' offensive collapse. Now in Denver, which ranked top-5 in pass attempts last year, Waddle has the opportunity and volume to emerge as a featured player. Jared prefers Waddle over Luther Burden and Tedo McMillan due to proven track record despite similar ceilings.

I expect Wadd to separate from Sutton and kind of be the clear number one receiver in this offense...he was a top 10 pick in his draft...he obviously did some really good things in Miami...He was one of eight wide receivers last year to average two plus yards per route and have a 15 plus percent route win rate...Wadd is one of those eight guys and Wadd by the way has done that he's averaged two plus route and had the 15 plus percent route win rate in three of his last four seasons...Huge upgrade in situation I think going from Miami to Denver...I think it's an upgrade in quarterback situation for Jaylen Wadd. I think, you know, he's wide receiver 24 in ADP. I think this guy could be a top 12 fantasy wide receiver this year.
