He has a proven track record, including a rookie season with over 100 receptions and a 1,350-yard campaign in his second year, and is poised for a potential breakout season.

0:00Is Jaylen Waddle the best wide receiver
0:03value in fantasy football right now?
0:05>> Theo, he easily is, man. I don't
0:07understand what everybody is missing
0:09with Jaylen Waddle. Last year Miami,
0:1129th in neutral passing rate. Denver was
0:13fourth, and they're not slowing down.
0:15Like I hear all these Bronco fans in my
0:17replies and mentions, and they're like,
0:19"Oh, yeah, but Denver's not going to
0:20throw the ball or da da da da. Their
0:22defense is good." Didn't stop them from
0:24throwing last year. And Waddle crushed
0:26on a per route basis, Theo. Everybody is
0:28all in on A.J. Brown season because he
0:30goes to New England, and he goes from a
0:32more run-centric offense to a pass-happy
0:34offense. Everybody's in there.
0:35A.J. Brown is ranked as a wide receiver
0:37one everywhere you look at. And he's
0:38getting tons of hype, deserve it.
0:40But then but then you turn it on and you
0:42say, "Well, why aren't you doing the
0:44same damn thing for Jaylen Waddle?" AND
0:46EVERYBODY'S LIKE, "WELL, I
0:48I GOT EXCUSES AND PROBLEMS and
0:50questions." And it's like, "Why?"
0:52>> Yeah, and Jaylen Waddle's had multiple
0:53seasons in his career where he's just
0:54been terrific, and we've seen it in
0:56different ways where we saw the rookie
0:58year where it was like the low red dot
1:00usage, high target earner, over 100
1:02receptions. Then we saw him like flip it
1:04around and [music] have I think it was
1:05three hit 1,350 receiving yards in year
1:08two. And it's like this great track
1:10record of traded wide receivers in the
1:13off season where we get hit after hit
1:15after hit. We saw it last year with
1:18George Pickens. We saw it the year
1:19before with Jerry Jeudy. We saw it the
1:21year before that with D.J. Moore. It's
1:23been a trend that we have followed in
1:25fantasy football. I think there's a
1:27chance that he explodes this year.
