Matt Harmon projects Jaylen Waddle as significantly undervalued at his consensus ADP of WR23/51st overall in half-PPR, believing he should rank closer to WR12. Harmon cites three key factors: (1) Waddle is an efficient receiver who wins at all three levels and beats man press coverage at a high rate on a per-route basis; (2) Denver runs substantially more plays than Miami did last year (Dolphins ranked dead last in plays run), providing higher base opportunity; (3) Waddle will experience a seismic role change from outside on-ball receiver in Miami to a movement Z receiver in Denver, allowing him to take a career-high percentage of snaps off the line of scrimmage and access more efficient targets in motion, similar to Brandon Cooks' 2016 role shift when Michael Thomas arrived. Harmon states he will be "really in on Waddle this year" and believes "the market has this one completely wrong."PositiveUsageJul 23, 2026
Could Quentin Johnston find success in Mike McDaniel’s offense in the Jaylen Waddle role? [Retweeted](NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
Matt Harmon notes that Jaylen Waddle has been primarily an outside on-ball receiver throughout his career, contrary to common perception. His route distribution emphasizes slants, outs, digs, and flats while avoiding nine routes, curls, and comebacks—the exact inverse of QJ's current usage pattern, serving as a model for how QJ could be deployed in McDaniel's offense.PositiveValueJul 22, 2026

🔥Great stuff here from @AlfredoABrown 📝Sutton ran most dig routes on the Broncos but was bottom 3rd in YPRR on dig routes in the ENTIRE NFL 🚀What does Sean Peyton do?

On YPRR on digs last season 📈Digs and other horizontal breaking routes are heavily correlated with fantasy success especially for YAC WRs 🔨Buy and draft Jaylen Waddle everywhere you can [Retweeted](PositiveNewsJul 16, 2026

Jaylen Waddle is valued ahead of consensus at receiver 12, with redraft ADP around wide receiver 21; he should be targeted in the early fourth or late third round in best ball formats.PositiveRoleJul 1, 2026
Perimeter X receiver with heavy diet of in-breaking routes; this archetype is increasingly valuable in today's game due to efficiency gains from throwing over the middle of the field against two-high safety shells.PositiveValueJun 4, 2026
Matt Harmon ranks Jaylen Waddle at WR12 and is very high on him this year, placing him in the WR11–13 tier alongside DeVonte Smith and Lad McConkey. Harmon would draft Waddle over the entire fourth-round ADP group including Zay Flowers, Lad McConkey, Garrett Wilson, Tedo McMillan, DJ Moore, Luther Burden, DeVonte Adams, and Terry McLaurin, and feels great about that decision tier-wise. However, he wants to hear a positive Bo Nix training camp update before going 'balls to the wall' on Waddle conviction.
