Thank god Jaylen Waddle could not do anything. Waddle comes away with three targets, one reception for two receiving yards. There were times where Waddle wasn't on the field. They were just firing it away to Pat Bryant... I think Waddle comes down to being more so a low-end wide receiver two, high-end wide receiver three.
STACKED’s take
Waddle's 2-yard Week 1 drops him to low-end WR2/WR3; targets shifted to Pat Bryant.
Jaylen Waddle severely underperformed in Week 1 against Kansas City, finishing with 3 targets, 1 reception, and 2 receiving yards. Flock Fantasy downgraded Waddle from a tier with Zay Flowers, Devonta Smith, Christian Watson, Tee Higgins, DJ Moore, and Garrett Wilson to a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 ranked around WR24. The source notes Waddle wasn't on the field consistently and targets went to Pat Bryant instead. Bo Nix looked poor and wasn't forcing targets Waddle's way. Waddle is now in a volatile tier with Evans, Burks, and Parker Washington—players with high floors but low ceilings that you start most weeks but not every week. The source explicitly states there's no way to consider putting Waddle in a lineup given his performance and the emergence of Bryant.
