Waddle undervalued at WR23; should be WR12 with role shift to motion receiver.
Matt Harmon projects Jaylen Waddle as significantly undervalued at his consensus ADP of WR23/51st overall in half-PPR, believing he should rank closer to WR12. Harmon cites three key factors: (1) Waddle is an efficient receiver who wins at all three levels and beats man press coverage at a high rate on a per-route basis; (2) Denver runs substantially more plays than Miami did last year (Dolphins ranked dead last in plays run), providing higher base opportunity; (3) Waddle will experience a seismic role change from outside on-ball receiver in Miami to a movement Z receiver in Denver, allowing him to take a career-high percentage of snaps off the line of scrimmage and access more efficient targets in motion, similar to Brandon Cooks' 2016 role shift when Michael Thomas arrived. Harmon states he will be "really in on Waddle this year" and believes "the market has this one completely wrong."
