Fantasy Life Articles on Jaylen Waddle
From the article
Sean Payton has talked about using Jaylen Waddle inside and outside, and he compared that flexibility to how he once used Michael Thomas. When a coach describes a role that maps onto the best target funnel he ever built, I listen.
STACKED’s take
Waddle's inside/outside versatility and 23.2% target share support higher ADP than WR19.
Jaylen Waddle's Underdog ADP of 38.3 (WR19) undervalues his role and production potential. Sean Payton has talked about using Waddle inside and outside, comparing that flexibility to how he once used Michael Thomas. Waddle has already demonstrated he can handle both versions of the role: as a rookie in 2021, he ran 61% of his routes from the slot with a 7.0 aDOT and caught 104 passes; in 2025, he won more often from the outside with a 13.2 aDOT, finishing No. 11 among 76 qualifying WRs with 2.19 YPRR while earning a 23.2% target share in a bad Miami offense. The source's June flag plant has not changed, and he believes Waddle is still being drafted too low.
