STACKED’s take
Waddle's elite efficiency and pass-happy Broncos offense set up Week 1 explosion.
The source makes an 'atomic bold prediction' that Waddle will outscore Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy combined in Week 1. Waddle was traded to Denver and can exploit Kansas City's revamped secondary, which lost cornerback Jaylen Watson to free agency, traded away Trent McDuffie, and lost safety Bryan Cook to the Bengals. Since 2023, Waddle has ranked 17th in targets per route run (0.25 TPRR), 14th in yards per route run (2.30 YPRR), and 10th in first downs per route run (0.115). In Miami, he was limited by sharing an offense with Tyreek Hill and playing for a pass-averse team (tied for 22nd in PROE at -1.3% since 2024). Denver is third in PROE (4.4%) the past two years, and Waddle is now the best wide receiver on the team. The Broncos' secondary allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game (21.4) to wide receivers last season, but the source expects Waddle to exploit any growing pains from the reworked unit on Monday Night Football.
