Broncos' Jaylen Waddle: Team-high catch total Thursday
Waddle secured four of seven targets for 24 yards in the Broncos' 17-14 overtime win over the Seahawks on Thursday.
Waddle exited the game briefly due to a shoulder injury, but he was still able to finish as the Broncos' reception and targets leader on the night. Waddle's yardage total, modest as it was, also qualified him for runner-up status in that category on a night when Bo Nix threw for only 107 yards and averaged 4.0 yards per attempt. Waddle's production has suffered collateral damage from Nix's constant short-area throwing thus far this season, as the veteran receiver is averaging a career-low 10.4 yards per reception and just 38.0 receiving yards per game heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Broncos' Jaylen Waddle: Makes just two catches Sunday
Waddle corralled two of five targets for 19 yards and also had a nine-yard carry during Sunday's 23-17 road win against the Chargers.
Waddle has hit once (8-138-0 on 10 targets in Week 2 against the Jaguars) and otherwise hasn't done much (10-66-1 on 21 targets) in his other four appearances in his first campaign with the Broncos. It didn't help any of Denver's skill-position players that QB Bo Nix's 27 passes went for only 123 yards, and a quick turnaround to face the Seahawks defense Thursday isn't a recipe for Waddle or any of his teammates to turn around their fortunes to begin the 2026 season.

Broncos' Jaylen Waddle: First TD as Bronco in loss
Waddle secured five of six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 24-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Waddle recorded his first touchdown as a member of the Broncos at a critical juncture, as his 13-yard scoring grab with just over four minutes remaining helped Denver get to within three points at the time. Waddle also finished second in receptions and tied for runner-up status in targets as well, and he's now seen a total of 23 passes from Bo Nix come his way in the last three contests. The Broncos' air attack and Waddle's chemistry with Nix remains a work in progress, but the veteran receiver takes a solid 16-185-1 line on 26 targets into a Week 5 divisional road matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Broncos' Jaylen Waddle: Turns in full practice Wednesday
Waddle (leg) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Though he was seen donning a walking boot following Sunday's win over the Rams, Waddle may have just wearing the boot as a precaution. He was back on the field three days later and took every rep in practice, with head coach Sean Payton relaying afterward that Waddle is "doing fine." Waddle thus looks like he'll be ready to handle his usual allotment of snaps in Sunday's game at San Francisco.

Waddle (leg) was on the field Wednesday for the start of the Broncos' practice session, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Following Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams, Waddle was spotted wearing a walking boot on his right foot. His presence on the field begin Week 4 prep suggests he might have been wearing the boot as a precaution, but fantasy managers will nonetheless want to track Waddle's practice activity leading up to this weekend's game in San Francisco. Through his first three contests with the Broncos, Waddle has recorded 11 catches for 150 yards on 20 targets while carrying once for a 14-yard gain.
