Yahoo Fantasy Football on Jaylen Waddle
From the article
Now consider Waddle's situation. It's been a couple seasons since he was a true impact fantasy starter, but he still managed WR28 stats on a struggling Dolphins team last year. The Broncos paid a premium to acquire Waddle, including a first-round pick, which is a sign they view him as a key piece of their offense moving forward.
STACKED’s take
Waddle mirrors Pickens' trajectory: elite talent moving to high-volume offense with better QB.
Waddle is positioned as this season's version of George Pickens — a talented receiver moving from a low-volume passing attack to a high-volume one with a better quarterback. Pickens was WR6 in fppg in his debut season with Dallas after joining from Pittsburgh. Waddle managed WR28 stats on a struggling Dolphins team last year but produced over 1,000 yards in each of his first three campaigns (WR17, WR11, WR22 finishes). The Broncos paid a premium to acquire him including a first-round pick, signaling he'll be featured as the No. 1 receiver. He'll be Bo Nix's favorite target in Denver's high-volume passing attack (613 pass attempts in 2025 vs. Miami's 479), and the source expects Waddle to be a player managers wish they drafted more of after the season.
