**Jaylen Waddle’s 2026 season receiving yards market reflects a slow integration into the Broncos offense after his March trade from Miami.** Through six games with Denver, he has 22 receptions for 228 yards and one touchdown on 38 targets, averaging just 38 yards per game and a career-low 10.4 yards per reception amid Bo Nix’s short-area passing focus and the team’s 30th-ranked passing attack. A Week 6 shoulder injury against Seattle caused a brief exit before he returned, compounding earlier foot concerns that briefly limited him. Denver’s 4-2 record masks offensive struggles, with Waddle competing for targets alongside Courtland Sutton and others in Sean Payton’s scheme. His lone explosive outing (138 yards vs. Jacksonville) highlights upside, but consistent volume and efficiency will determine whether he approaches prior 1,000-yard benchmarks over the remaining schedule, including a Week 7 road matchup at Arizona and a Week 10 bye.
