Outlook Jaylen Waddle
Fresh Start in Denver Positions Dynamic Playmaker for a Big Bounce-Back Season
Jaylen Waddle lands in Denver after an offseason trade from Miami, instantly stepping in as a primary outside receiver opposite Courtland Sutton. Head coach Sean Payton has already praised Waddle's quick mastery of the offense, planning to deploy him as a true home-run hitter for young quarterback Bo Nix.
Fantasy managers are reacting aggressively to this new opportunity. While Waddle’s PPR ADP hovered around the late fourth round (pick 48-50) for much of May, it has skyrocketed to pick 26 as draft season heats up. Our models project Waddle to bounce back with 72 receptions, 927 yards, and five touchdowns, making him a highly competitive WR2 choice at his rising cost.
Operating as a locked-in starter on the perimeter, Waddle should see high-priority targets. Although his draft cost is climbing fast, he offers true WR1 ceiling potential if Nix can reliably feed him deep.

Outlook Nico Collins
Secured Contract and Elite Status Cement Him as a High-End Fantasy Pillar
Our projections are heavily backed by Houston's commitment to Nico Collins, who recently secured a lucrative adjusted contract ensuring his future with the franchise. Operating as the primary outside threat for C.J. Stroud, Collins has put together three consecutive stellar seasons, averaging over 14 yards per catch. He enters 2026 with unquestioned role security and will pace this passing attack alongside Tank Dell.
Our models project another highly efficient season for Collins, forecasting 79 receptions for 1,186 yards and six touchdowns on 119 targets. With a near-universal starting rate across fantasy leagues, managers can confidently treat him as a reliable anchor in their wide receiver groups.
Analyzing his draft trends, his ADP has seen a massive surge lately, climbing from the late second round all the way into the early second-round range. This rising draft cost reflects growing market hype, making him less of a bargain but still a premier target to build your roster around in 1.0 PPR formats.
