Expert Note
View More NotesJaylen Waddle is the WR42 in fantasy points per game, with only three games this season with 14 or more PPR points. Bo Nix has crushed him. Waddle has an 18.8% target share with 1.62 YPRR, four red zone targets, eight deep targets, and a 28.6% first-read share. This week, he faces a pass defense that has the fifth-highest single high rate (59.3%). Against single high, Waddle has had a 31% TPRR (leads the team) with 1.56 YPRR. Waddle could post a strong stat line this week if Nix can get him the ball. Over their last five games, Carolina has allowed the tenth-most yards per target and receiving fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Waddle scored from one yard out in the second quarter and caught the two-point conversion that cut Kansas City's lead to three in the fourth quarter. He also led Denver's wide receivers with six targets. The yardage wasn't there, but Waddle has separated himself from Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims Jr. as the Broncos wide receiver to start in fantasy.
