| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | George Pickens delivered a true breakout in 2025, finishing as a top-6 fantasy WR despite sharing targets with CeeDee Lamb in Dallas. The big-play specialist thrived on efficiency and touchdown production, averaging 84.1 receiving yards per game with nine scores while consistently delivering spike-week upside. Pickens proved capable of producing WR1 numbers even alongside a healthy Lamb, although his high-variance play style makes weekly volatility part of the package. If he avoids a contract-related holdout and maintains his chemistry with Dak Prescott, Pickens should remain a low-end fantasy WR1 with week-winning upside. | Jaylen Waddle's 2025 season looked disappointing on the surface, but Miami's run-heavy approach masked another highly efficient campaign from the former first-round pick (13th in yards per route run). Now in Denver after a blockbuster trade, Waddle steps into a pass-heavy offense where he projects as the featured receiver. His explosiveness and efficiency have consistently kept him on the WR1 fringe despite frequent nagging injuries and inconsistent volume in Miami alongside Tyreek Hill. But if Bo Nix and the Broncos offense continue ascending, 2026 could finally be the season Waddle delivers a true top-tier fantasy breakout. |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Last season was a monster breakout season for George Pickens as the WR5 in fantasy points per game. His splits with CeeDee Lamb out and active were dramatic, but that doesn't mean that Pickens wasn't awesome in both realms. With Lamb in the huddle, Pickens averaged 15 fantasy points per game versus 24.2 with him out. Across that entire season with Lamb, that would have made Pickens the WR11 in fantasy points per game, and without him, he would have been the WR1 in fantasy points per game. With Lamb, Pickens had a 20.2% target share with 2.24 yards per route run, 77.1 receiving yards per game, a 25.2% first-read share, and 0.116 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Without Lamb, those numbers jumped to a 23.6% target share, 3.14 yards per route run, 106.8 receiving yards per game, a 34.1% first-read share, and 0.154 first downs per route run. No matter how you slice it, Pickens was elite last year, and he should be a WR1 again this season in a pass-first Dallas offense. | It's Jaylen Waddle SZN! I can't wait to see him ball out in the Denver passing attack. Waddle should get a wonderful infusion of volume this season, moving from an offense that was 29th in neutral passing rate to one that was fourth in that metric last season. Overall, Denver was fourth in passing attempts behind only Arizona, Cincy, and Dallas last year. Waddle is a stud no matter what metric you look at. Last year, among 109 qualifying wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data), he was 12th in target per route run rate, 12th in yards per route run, seventh in first downs per route run, 12th in separation score, and 11th in route win rate. He also bested Courtland Sutton in each of those metrics with the exception of route win rate (15.3% vs. 15.5%). Waddle is a flag plant player for me this year. You can easily draft him as a WR2 for your teams this season that has WR1 upside. |
