Jaylen Waddle is positioned for a breakout season as he transitions from overqualified number two receiver in Miami to true number one in New Orleans. Matt Harmon ranks him WR11 and calls him a potential JSN candidate with an outside shot at being this year's George Pickens-type breakout; he's going outside the top 20 in ADP despite the bullish case. Waddle no longer has to play with Tyreek Hill and gets to operate in an offense that isn't going off the rails like the Dolphins were. Sean Payton views Waddle as his new Joker. He's moving to a high-volume passing offense; Bo Nix led the league last year in pass attempts, so Waddle will see a ton of throwing opportunities. Harmon takes him in the end of the third, early fourth round stretch, much earlier than his current ADP, and believes he will be one of those players fantasy managers look back on in 2026 as a league-winner who helped them win a title.
