Jaylen Waddle a Top Buy-Low Candidate Heading into First Season in Denver

Tuesday, April 21, 12:31 PM

The Denver Broncos made wide receiver Jaylen Waddle one of the offseason's biggest trade acquisitions by sending three draft picks to the Miami Dolphins for him. Waddle bounced back from a down year in 2024 with strong production in 2025, recording 64 receptions for 910 yards and six touchdowns on 100 targets across 16 games with Miami. After former Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 4, Waddle had the advantage of being the clear number one pass-catcher in Miami. He could end up playing the same role in Denver, but the Broncos have other capable pass-catchers in wide receivers Courtland Sutton, Pat Bryant, and Troy Franklin. Still, the upgrade in offensive environment from Miami to Denver should be a net positive for Waddle's fantasy production. In Waddle's last fully healthy season with an above-average offense in 2022, he recorded 1,356 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. In dynasty formats, Waddle has clear buy-low appeal ahead of his first season in Denver.

Rome Odunze News

Rome Odunze Could See His Dynasty Value Soar in Year Two with Ben Johnson

Monday, May 4, 5:14 AM

Throughout his first two years in the league, Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has shown moments that justify his selection as the ninth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but inconsistency and a loaded depth chart have hurt his placement in dynasty rankings. By the end of the 2025 season, four Bears players were reliably earning targets, but with Chicago trading away veteran DJ Moore, the 2026 passing offense is expected to be condensed through Odunze and second-year players Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland. Odunze missed five games but led all Bears pass catchers with 10.7 fantasy points per game despite seeing the most off-target throws on the team. When things are clicking between Odunze and Caleb Williams, as they were through the first four weeks of the season, the 6'3", 214-pound receiver can be a game-changer. With Williams expected to take another step forward in Ben Johnson's offense, Odunze, currently RotoBaller's dynasty WR23, could see his stock rise significantly.
