Jaylen Waddle caught 3-of-6 targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos’ Week 8 win over the Chiefs. 2026-11-01 23:00:02 Starting with the positive, Waddle found the end zone for the second time this year and got going over the middle of the field with a 35-yard missile from Nix early in the second quarter. It’s his longest catch since Week 2, when he erupted for 138 yards on eight receptions, including a 49-yarder. On the downside, Waddle managed a pedestrian 19 percent target share and finished third on the team in receiving. He found the end zone and still scored a grand total of 12.9 PPR points. The Broncos’ offense is still a work in progress, even if today was a step in the right direction. Waddle will get another week in the WR3 mix when the Broncos take on the Panthers. |

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Jaylen Waddle (chest) is “trending toward playing” in Week 8 against the Chiefs. 2026-11-01 09:00:02 Waddle suffered the chest injury late in the Broncos’ Week 7 win over the Cardinals and a doomed trick play. He was leveled by Josh Sweat several yards behind the line of scrimmage. The Broncos held him out of Wednesday’s practice before giving him two limited sessions and a questionable tag. Though we suspect he is on some form of a snap count, it looks like Waddle is giving it a go. Already struggling to put up WR3 fantasy numbers, we’re regarding him as a high-risk FLEX play versus Kansas City. |

Jaylen Waddle (chest) is questionable for Denver’s Week 8 game against the Chiefs. 2026-10-30 17:00:03 Waddle got in two limited sessions after missing practice on Wednesday. It feels like he’s on the optimistic side of questionable given the trend line, though of course you would have preferred to see a full session somewhere in here. It’s also possible he winds up on a snap count, so we’ll see if any insiders dig up anything on that this weekend. |

Jaylen Waddle (chest) was limited in Thursday’s practice. 2026-10-29 18:00:03 Waddle aggravated an existing chest injury on a trick play late in the fourth quarter of Week 7. A return to the practice field, in any capacity, Thursday keeps the door open for him to be available to play the Chiefs in Week 8, although fantasy managers are likely looking for an excuse to bench the over-hyped receiver. It would be prudent to look at other viable options in a difficult matchup. |
