Waddle is with the Broncos now, and he walks into a more pass-heavy offense: they threw on 58 percent of their plays last season, 11th of 32, against 54 percent and 22nd for the Dolphins. He has not played a game for them, so the club figures below are the Broncos' and his own are what he did with the Dolphins. No one on the Dolphins saw more targets than Waddle in 2025: 100 of the 438 they threw in the 16 regular season games he played. He is listed at 5-10 and 182 pounds, shorter than 84 percent of the 343 wide receivers on a 2026 roster and lighter than 86 percent of them. The 17 defenses on the Broncos' 2026 schedule gave up 217.8 passing yards a game last season; the 17 the Dolphins met gave up 221.4.

Pass attempts plus sacks taken, over those plus rushing attempts. A sack is a called pass that never became an attempt, so it counts on the pass side. Kneel-downs sit inside the rushing attempts and cannot be separated out.His targets over his club's, counted across the games he played. Games he missed are in neither total.These are box score totals, not charted by alignment, so there is no split of what a defense gives up to slot receivers, to backs or to any other role. Nothing here claims one.

Record against the posted line, by market

Every market our archive priced him in at least eight times · the line is each book's opening number, median across the books quoting it · a market we priced fewer times is left off rather than shown with a sample too small to mean anything

Over rate excludes pushes and prints the decided count it is taken over. Whole-number markets (receptions, interceptions) push often, so overs divided by games would read several points off. The touchdown market posts no number at all, only a price, so it is graded as scored or not against the price implied by the books before their margin.
