Andrew Erickson ranks Waddle at 43 vs. ECR 48, arguing the Denver trade represents a significant upgrade. Waddle will be top-two in volume alongside Cortland Sutton; Troy Franklin will fade into background. Erickson emphasizes Waddle's 13th-ranked yards per route run last year despite Miami's run-heavy offense and notes he averaged 82 yards in five of 11 games when Tyreek Hill was out, suggesting he thrives when given opportunity. Denver threw 100 more passes than Miami last year and ranked eighth in pass rate overall and seventh in pass rate over expectation, providing volume relief.
