FantasyPros Articles on Jaylen Waddle
From the article
Waddle remained efficient last year even in a difficult, run-heavy situation with an inconsistent quarterback rotation, ranking ninth in PFF receiving grade and top 12 in target rate per route run. In the games last year when a teammate was limited or missing, Waddle averaged seven or more targets and topped 82 receiving yards in nearly half of those contests.
STACKED’s take
Waddle's efficiency and new team's pass-heavy scheme position him for WR1 upside.
Waddle remained efficient last year ranking ninth in PFF receiving grade and top-12 in target rate per route run despite a difficult, run-heavy situation with inconsistent quarterback rotation. In games when a teammate was limited or missing, he averaged 7+ targets and topped 82 receiving yards in nearly half those contests. His new team ranked among the most pass-heavy in the league by rate, with its starting quarterback leading the NFL in pass attempts despite a strong record, largely due to second-half comeback situations. The team finished dead last in 20+ yard receptions, signaling why it added a proven big-play threat; with a teammate capable of taking over lead-receiver duties, there's a real path for Waddle to reclaim true WR1 status as the clear top option.
