Waddle's WR19 ADP undervalues his return to form under Payton and screen-target upside.
Jaylen WaddleWR
Waddle was WR12 in 2022 and nearly hit that mark as a rookie (WR18), and the source projects a return to top-12 WR finish. He's the top target in a reliable Sean Payton offense; Payton has 11 seasons as a top-five offense in pass attempts and finished in the top half of the league in 14-of-21 seasons, including both seasons with Bo Nix in Denver. Last year without Waddle, the Broncos were fourth in neutral pass rate, eighth in neutral pace and 15th in points per game. The Broncos have connected on a league-high amount of screens since 2024, and Waddle will absorb those targets previously drawn up for Marvin Mims Jr. and Troy Franklin.
