Still has just one game north of 50 receiving yards this season, BUT the schedule is starting to take a turn for the better: Denver gets the Panthers (19th in EPA allowed per dropback), Raiders (25th), Steelers (6th), Dolphins (32nd), Jets (28th), Raiders (25th), Bills (26th) and Patriots (17th) to close out the fantasy season — it only faced one defense ranked worse than 15th in Weeks 1-8! Further helping matters for Waddle this week is a banged-up Panthers secondary that has run zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate in the league this season, and we've pretty easily seen Waddle emerge as the clear No. 1 WR in Denver ahead of Courtland Sutton against zone (0.24 vs. 0.15 targets per route run) compared to man (0.29 vs. 0.28).
