STACKED’s take
Waddle's route usage is suboptimal; 2 catches on 7 targets, confidence in Webb low.
Jaylen Waddle saw seven targets but caught just two for 10 yards in Week 3, continuing a yo-yo start to the season (non-existent Week 1, entire offense Week 2). The source identifies a route-running problem: Waddle has a career-low 38.2% of routes in-breaking and 17.1% deep (second-highest of his career), getting the Marvin Harrison Jr. treatment that hasn't worked in two of three weeks. Waddle averages 2.9 yards per route run on in-breaking routes and 1.4 YPRR on every other route, compared to his Miami career averages of 2.7 and 1.9 respectively. The source warns that if Denver's offensive minds don't utilize Waddle where he's best—tearing up the intermediate middle—he'll be extremely frustrating for fantasy.
