From the episode

The Broncos wanted to use Jalen Waddle as a decoy to get a lot of other people open... his presence out of the backfield is a big reason why that was a touchdown.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Waddle used as decoy in Week 1; his presence created scoring opportunities.

Waddle was used as a decoy in Week 1 against Kansas City, with the Broncos employing orbit motion and out-of-backfield routes to test the Chiefs' coverage focus on him. Despite not receiving significant targets, his presence out of the backfield contributed to touchdown plays, indicating strategic deployment rather than ineffectiveness.
