Fantasy Life Articles on Jaylen Waddle

Waddle's elite efficiency metrics and Denver's slot-receiver volume create WR1 upside.

Waddle's new situation in Denver sticks out; across his five seasons as a pro, he has finished inside the top 10 in YPRR and 1D/RR run three times—the second- and third-most predictive metrics for the overall WR1. Playing alongside Tyreek Hill kept Waddle from the volume to break into the elite discussion, but with Bo Nix's target rate to slot receivers at 27.6% in 2025 and Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims as his only targets outside of Courtland Sutton (neither cracking the Top 24 in efficiency), Waddle fills a stylistic gap as Nix develops as a passer.
