Jaylen Waddle has three 1,000-yard seasons to open his career... With a strong offensive line and a balanced offense that won't let a defense zero in on one receiver, this is setting up as a massive bounce-back season, and I'm treating it as one of my favorite buy-low bets at receiver this year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Waddle's elite efficiency and Payton's scheme offer massive bounce-back upside at WR17.

Waddle has three 1,000-yard seasons to open his career and has missed just four games in three years; ranks in the top 14 percent in yards per route run and top 13 percent in yards per route run against zone coverage. Coach Sean Payton wanted a catch-and-run weapon, and Waddle fits that exactly, stepping into the role Troy Franklin held during a five-week stretch with nine targets per game. QB Bo Nix lines up perfectly with what Waddle does best. His receiving yards the last two seasons (744 and 910) look worse than they should due to Tua Tagovailoa limitations letting defenses crowd Waddle's operating areas; his TDs (4, 2, 6 last three years) tell a similar story. Denver sent first-, third-, and fourth-round picks to acquire him. Jim Coventry's take: with a strong offensive line and balanced offense, this is setting up as a massive bounce-back season; one of his favorite buy-low bets at receiver.
