Bo Nix has completed five touchdown passes. That's bad enough!... Nix is yet to throw a pass to Waddle when he's been in the end zone... without a significant shift in opportunities and results, Waddle may fall into the WR3 category for the rest of the season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Waddle's TD drought and limited red-zone usage threaten WR1 status; Nix's low TD output is the core issue.

Waddle has been disappointing as the Broncos' supposed WR1 despite a month into the season. Bo Nix has thrown only five touchdown passes total (compared to Sam Darnold's six in effectively two games), and Waddle has yet to score a TD with Nix. His involvement is limited: 22% target share, 78% route rate, 68% snap share, and only four red-zone targets (second-most on team but first double-digit target depth in Week 4). Without a significant shift in opportunities and results, Waddle may fall into the WR3 category for the rest of the season, though the Chargers matchup and Sean Payton resuming play-calling could spark change.
