The source views Jalen Waddle as the WR1 in the Denver offense but is tempered by the presence of Cortland Sutton and Sean Payton's egalitarian approach to pass catchers. While they acknowledge his talent and potential for top-12 upside, they rank him as WR19-20 due to his lack of elite career target share and a crowded receiving room.PositiveProjectionNo date
Waddle is going as WR22 after Denver gave up three 2026 picks (first, third, fourth) to acquire him, strongly suggesting he will work as the team's number one wide receiver. He will move all over the formation, be deployed from the slot and work the outside. The hypothesis is that Sean Payton finally gets his 'joker' in Waddle. He should pay off his ADP with potential ceiling for even more, possibly flirting with low-end WR1.
