Yahoo Fantasy Football on Jaylen Waddle
From the article
Sean Payton and the Broncos paid a hefty price, both in draft capital and financially. He is the clear WR1 on a team whose QB led the league in passing attempts. The Broncos, with limited WR talent, ranked seventh in team WR fantasy points last season, as two WRs ranked inside the top eight in red zone targets (the only team).
STACKED’s take
Waddle is WR21 ADP but clear WR1 in Payton's Broncos with league-leading pass attempts.
Joel Smyth projects Jaylen Waddle to finally fix his fantasy perception in 2026. Waddle has been viewed as a disappointment, finishing outside the top-20 fantasy WRs in PPG for three straight seasons in Miami and leaving several games due to smaller injuries. His ADP has dropped to WR21 in consensus. However, Sean Payton and the Broncos paid a hefty price—draft capital and $29M per year—to hand-select their WR1. Waddle is the clear WR1 on a team whose QB led the league in passing attempts. The Broncos ranked seventh in team WR fantasy points last season despite limited WR talent; two WRs ranked inside the top-8 in red-zone targets (only team to do so), and Sutton ranked top-5 in routes and 15th in fantasy PPG. That passing offense just acquired Waddle as their next WR1.
