Waddle was acquired by Denver via trade (three draft picks including 2026 first-rounder) and joins a pass-happy Broncos offense that ranked fourth in passing attempts in 2025. He ranked sixth in first downs per route run (0.127), 10th in yards per route run (2.41), and 10th in EPA (+64) last season. Based on draft capital spent, he figures to lead the receiver room in targets. The source projects a 2022-like season (75 receptions, 1,356 yards, 8 TDs; WR8, 15.3 PPG) and calls him one of his favorite receiver targets in round four at ADP 45 (WR23), expecting him to crush his ADP if healthy.NegativeProjectionJul 10, 2026
Jaylen Waddle has been disappointing over the past few years after posting back-to-back 15+ PPR point-per-game seasons to start his NFL career. Traded to the Denver Broncos to play in a more promising offensive environment, Waddle is set up perfectly to be the No. 1 wide receiver in Denver for the next several years. With Courtland Sutton turning 31 in October and seeing a major drop in efficiency in 2025, Waddle appears positioned for a resurgence. Valued as WR20 in ECR, which feels like the floor outcome in PPR leagues, Waddle should deliver a low-end WR1 finish well within his range of outcomes. While Bo Nix's ankle injury is a slight concern, he's proven through his first two seasons that he's a more than competent starting quarterback.
