JaylenWaddle

News: 14 hours agoWaddle is believed to be "fine" despite being seen wearing a walking boot on his right foot following Sunday's victory over the Rams, Sam Jane of The Denver Post reports.

Spin: Concern was raised about Waddle's status after he was spotted -- per Jon Heath of Broncos Wire -- with a boot on his foot Sunday night, but Jane's report indicates Waddle is not dealing with any sort of serious setback. More will be known about Waddle's status either at the start of or after Denver's Wednesday practice session.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Waddle was traded to Denver after spending his first five seasons in Miami. The 2021 first-round pick was solid during his Dolphins tenure, finishing in the top 30 among receivers in fantasy PPG four times, though never reaching the top 10 while often playing second fiddle to Tyreek Hill. Although he has been a reliable target and has missed only seven games in five years, Waddle hasn't finished a season higher than 20th in targets or catches since 2021. In Denver, the 27-year-old Waddle will compete with Courtland Sutton for the team lead in targets in a scheme that likes to spread the ball around. Not utilized near the goal line much at 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds (he's yet to clear seven end zone targets in a season), Waddle is likely to max out as a back-end WR2 in Denver.
