Fantasy Life Articles on Jaylen Waddle
From the article
Jaylen Waddle is a proven talent walking into what should be the most lucrative role of his career. The team paid a premium for the former No. 6 overall pick's services after making it to the AFC Championship game with gunslinger Bo Nix relying on aging veteran Courtland Sutton and a bunch of young, athletic WR3s. FantasyLife projects Waddle for 122 targets this season, which would be the second-most of his career. The 27-year-old has posted exceptional marks in both yards per route run and targets per route run over the years, and these figures have skyrocketed with Hill out of the mix.
STACKED’s take
Waddle's premium role in Denver and elite efficiency metrics position him for career-best production.
Waddle is a proven talent walking into what should be the most lucrative role of his career after Denver paid a premium for the former No. 6 overall pick's services. He began his career with WR18 and WR8 finishes—the latter occurring the same season Tyreek Hill finished as WR2, meaning few top-10 NFL Draft picks have been overshadowed so massively and lived to tell the tale. Fantasy Life projects Waddle for 122 targets this season, which would be the second-most of his career. The 27-year-old has posted exceptional marks in both yards per route run and targets per route run, and these figures have skyrocketed with Hill out of the mix. Danny Cross notes it would be shocking if Sean Payton doesn't fully utilize Waddle's insane talent after making fantasy stars out of much lesser players in the past.
