Jaylen Waddle Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

Jaylen Waddle finally had a useful number of targets against Arizona, catching four passes for 48 yards on seven opportunities. His afternoon ended early when he left with a chest injury and did not return. The issue had already limited his practice work earlier in the week, so the setback is more meaningful than an isolated hit in a game. Denver has the Chiefs coming next and cannot count on a normal Waddle workload without an updated medical report.

Waddle has 26 receptions for 276 yards and one touchdown through seven games. Bo Nix has rarely connected with him on the downfield gains that would turn his speed into consistent fantasy production. Courtland Sutton remains another receiving option, and the Broncos have won games without asking either player to dominate targets. PFM lists Waddle WR32 in Week 8 and WR23 rest of season. His chest status and the quality of Denver's passing game are both barriers to a stronger weekly outlook.
