Jaylen Waddle Week 5 Outlook - Broncos at Chargers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 8th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

Bo Nix and suspect play-calling have capsized this offense in most weeks so far. Jaylen Waddle is the WR34 in fantasy points per game. Waddle has a 19.3% target share, 1.70 YPRR, two red zone targets, four deep targets, and a 28.2% first-read share. It has been tough when you can see Waddle getting open on film, but he can't toss the ball to himself. If Bo Nix can get himself together this week, Waddle could have a nice game, but that's a huge question mark. The Chargers have allowed the seventh-most yards per target and the fifth-most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers.
