Waddle projects for 122 targets as Broncos WR1 with QB upgrade and top-six dropback rate.

The source projects Waddle to lead the Broncos with 122 targets, positioning him as the WR1 in the offense despite Courtland Sutton's presence (108 projected targets). Waddle's move from Miami to Denver represents a significant upgrade; the Broncos have a top-six projected dropback rate (61.8%) and a quarterback upgrade from Tua Tagovailoa to Bo Nix. Waddle has maintained steady efficiency (9.1 yards per target in 2025, 9.0 in 2024), and the source believes Sean Payton will not waste this significant investment, warranting an upward ranking adjustment.
