From the article

Jaylen Waddle picked up a leg injury during practice and has been spotted limping on camera days later, suggesting that this is more than just a minor injury that fantasy managers and Denver Broncos fans do not need to worry about. Waddle is a trendy breakout candidate as the move to Sean Payton's system should help propel him to the upper echelon of receivers. However, his injury has allowed Pat Bryant to get more volume in practice sessions, and he has stood out thus far.

Waddle's leg injury threatens breakout bid; Pat Bryant stealing targets.

Jaylen Waddle picked up a leg injury during practice and has been spotted limping on camera days later, suggesting this is more than just a minor injury. Waddle is a trendy breakout candidate as the move to Sean Payton's system should help propel him to the upper echelon of receivers. However, his injury has allowed Pat Bryant to get more volume in practice sessions, and Bryant has stood out thus far. Bryant will not siphon Waddle's snaps, but he will steal targets from both Waddle and Courtland Sutton if he can translate his practice field success over to games. Currently the 19th to 22nd receiver off the board depending on platform, Waddle may very well end up with a lower target share than some of the names being drafted behind him.
