Most mispriced WR; elite skill set, role change to off-ball, and improved offense create Diggs-to-Buffalo upside.

Jaylen WaddleWRDEN

Matt Harmon ranks Jaylen Waddle as WR12 and calls him the most mispriced player in fantasy right now at the wide receiver position. Waddle is a really good player who can beat press man coverage, win against zone, excel on downfield breaking routes, and also win in the quick game—a rare skill set that people misunderstand about him. Waddle's move to Denver represents a dramatically improved offensive environment (Broncos ranked much higher than Miami's 32nd in plays run) combined with a role change that will see him move off-ball for the first time in his career. Harmon projects Waddle to take career-high snaps off-ball, similar to Brandon Cooks' 2016 Saints role, with Bo Nix as a quarterback upgrade. The deployment shift from Miami's Tyreek Hill-centric scheme to Denver's structure with Courtland Sutton as the X receiver creates what Harmon calls "layup targets" for Waddle. Waddle is compared to 2025 George Pickens by Jacob Sanderson, with the key difference being Waddle's move to a much better offense. Current ADP ranges from WR20 on FFPC to WR24 on ESPN. Waddle ranks 7th in yards per route run against zone but 34th against man, making him a zone-beater complement to Sutton's man-coverage strength. Harmon loves Waddle at ADP and draws a Stefon Diggs-to-Buffalo comp, noting Diggs hovered around sub-WR20 ADP post-trade before becoming elite. Harmon believes Waddle has similar upside potential if the Texans' offense takes a step forward, and he expects more manufactured work and layup looks for Waddle in Davis Webb's scheme.

Source transcript excerpt
I think Wadd is probably the most mispriced player in fantasy right now... he's a really good player. Like just number one, he's a he's really good. He can beat press man coverage... I have him as like wide receiver 12 this year... his role is going to look a lot like Brandon Cooks for like the 2016 Saints where Cooks took the highest rate of his snaps off ball that year.
