RotoWire NFL Articles on Jaylen Waddle

Waddle's top-14% YPRR and elite zone coverage efficiency fit Payton's catch-and-run system.

Jaylen Waddle has three 1,000-yard seasons on his resume and has missed just four games in three years. He ranks in the top 14 percent in yards per route run and top 13 percent in yards per route run against zone coverage, exploiting soft coverage as well as almost anyone in the league. Denver acquired Waddle specifically to be the catch-and-run weapon coach Sean Payton wanted, replacing a Troy Franklin role that saw nine targets a game during a five-week stretch. Jim Coventry's analysis is cut off but indicates Waddle as a flag plant pick with elite efficiency metrics and a defined role in Payton's system.
