He looked very much the part of the Broncos' No. 1 receiver in scoring 21.8 fantasy points on 10 targets in Week 2, but Waddle now has to tangle with Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie. In McDuffie's 56 head-to-head defensive matchups through two weeks, he has surrendered only nine targets and 4.2 fantasy points, most recently limiting Malik Nabers to 1.1 points.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Waddle's Week 2 breakout negated by McDuffie's elite coverage.

Waddle scored 21.8 fantasy points on 10 targets in Week 2 and looked the part of the Broncos' No. 1 receiver, but he now faces Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie in Week 3—a matchup to avoid. In McDuffie's 56 head-to-head defensive matchups through two weeks, he has surrendered only nine targets and 4.2 fantasy points, most recently limiting Malik Nabers to 1.1 points. Additionally, Waddle probably still takes a back seat to Courtland Sutton in scoring position, leaving insufficient upside to make Waddle a clear fantasy starter.
