STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Waddle is a value pick who will be the focal point of Sean Payton's offense.

Fitz ranks Jalen Waddle at WR16, arguing he is undervalued at his current aggregate rank of WR27. As the featured receiver in Sean Payton's offense, Waddle is expected to be the focal point of the passing game, similar to Michael Thomas's high-volume seasons. Waddle has a career average of 9.3 yards per target and 2.07 yards per route run.
