Outlook Jaylen Waddle
Jaylen Waddle at Arizona — Favorable Week 7 Road Matchup Dependent on Health
Waddle is nursing a chest injury that limited him in Wednesday's practice, clouding his status ahead of Sunday's road matchup against Arizona. After previously shaking off an in-game shoulder scare, he remains Denver's top perimeter weapon alongside Courtland Sutton, commanding 12 targets across his last two games.
Our weekly projection tabs Waddle for approximately 4 receptions and 41 yards on 7 targets (11.0 fantasy points) against a struggling Cardinals defense. While his start rate has dipped to 57%, he remains a solid Flex option if active, but fantasy managers should check back often for the latest news on his game-day availability.

Outlook Michael Mayer
Michael Mayer vs LAR — Streaming Appeal Grows After Career-Best Performance
Mayer is coming off an explosive performance where he set a career high with 95 receiving yards on seven receptions against Buffalo. Operating behind Brock Bowers on the depth chart, Mayer regularly sees the field in two-tight-end sets, and his opportunity could expand significantly this week with Bowers managing a limited practice workload due to hamstring and calf injuries.
Our weekly projection sits at 7.1 fantasy points, anticipating roughly 3.3 receptions and 28 receiving yards against the Rams. With his roster rate climbing to 35% and this home contest carrying plenty of shootout potential, Mayer enters the week as an attractive streaming candidate whose ceiling could soar if Bowers is at all limited.
