Waddle is going to be Bo Nix's top target this year. And there is a legitimate path in fantasy drafts to taking two high-end running backs and then selecting Egbuka and Waddle as your top-two receivers in Rounds 3 and 4. That is a championship path.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Top target for Bo Nix; underpriced WR2 with elite efficiency track record.

After five years in Miami, Waddle was traded to Denver and fantasy interest is lukewarm at best, barely being taken inside WR2 territory. His last two years in Miami underperformed due to QB play rather than Waddle himself. In 2022, Waddle topped 1,300 receiving yards, led the league in yards per catch at 18.1, and finished eighth in PPR points among WRs. Waddle will be Bo Nix's top target this year, and there is a legitimate championship path to taking two high-end RBs and then selecting Egbuka and Waddle as top-two receivers in Rounds 3 and 4.
