Waddle could post a strong stat line this week if Nix can get him the ball. Over their last five games, Carolina has allowed the tenth-most yards per target and receiving fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Positive signalMatchup

Waddle's matchup vs. single-high defense offers upside despite limited season ceiling.

Waddle is WR42 in fantasy points per game with limited ceiling (only three games with 14+ PPR points), but faces a favorable matchup this week against a pass defense with the fifth-highest single high rate (59.3%). Against single high, Waddle leads his team with a 31% TPRR and 1.56 YPRR. Over the last five games, Carolina has allowed the tenth-most yards per target and receiving fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers, creating opportunity for Waddle to post a strong stat line if Bo Nix gets him the ball.
