Yahoo Sports NFL on Jaylen Waddle
From the article
Waddle is just not nearly as involved as I thought he'd be this year and is tracking to be a Round 4 bust as a weekly WR3... His 1.34 yards per route run is a career low.
STACKED’s take
Waddle is a Round 4 bust; career-low 1.34 yards per route run and WR31 usage.
Waddle is tracking to be a Round 4 bust as a weekly WR3, not nearly as involved as expected this year. He's the WR31 on WR32 usage this month, and last week's game with Sean Payton calling plays didn't move the needle (WR40 usage). Denver had its lowest neutral pass rate of the year (43%) last week. Waddle has only five receptions for five yards on screens and caught 2-of-6 targets on 15+ air-yard throws this season, with a 25% target share this month but no signature YAC moment yet and more drops than normal. His 1.34 yards per route run is a career low. Seattle's defense allows the 30th-most half PPR points per game to WRs, largely stifling opposing boundary wideouts, though Mike Evans managed 7-113-1 against them in Week 5 by winning with size that Waddle doesn't have.
