Sean Payton told Mrs. Payton to draft Waddle in fantasy … and we got an 8-138-0 explosion after just one dud! Hell yeah, Mrs. Payton! And guess what: The ex-Dolphins looked GOOD while doing it. Waddle is the engine of this passing game and accordingly boasts weekly double-digit upside — even a tough matchup against Trent McDuffie and the Rams isn't enough to keep him out of the top 15. Note that Waddle has spent 44 percent of his snaps in the slot (up from 18 percent last season) — McDuffie has only aligned inside for 10 total snaps this season.
