Waddle questionable with chest injury; likely out or sit if active.

Waddle opened the week with a chest injury and a DNP, managed limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, and is listed as questionable. The source notes he could easily be ruled out Sunday before kickoff and recommends monitoring news all day with a backup option ready. Even if active, the source is leaning toward sitting him. Waddle has been crushed by Bo Nix before this injury, ranking as WR48 in fantasy points per game with a 19.7% target share, 1.56 yards per route run, three red zone targets, seven deep targets, and a 29% first-read share. Kansas City's defense has allowed the fourth-fewest receiving fantasy points per game and seventh-fewest fantasy points per opportunity over their last five games.
