Jaylen Waddle's 2026 receiving touchdown total hinges on his adjustment to the Broncos offense after an offseason trade from Miami, where he posted 910 yards and six scores in 2025. Through six games in Denver, he has just one touchdown on 22 catches for 228 yards, hampered by a struggling passing attack led by Bo Nix that ranks near the bottom in yards and explosive plays. Waddle has averaged under 40 receiving yards per game with a career-low 10.4 yards per catch amid short-area throws and limited red-zone work. A shoulder injury briefly sidelined him in Week 6 against Seattle before he returned, adding uncertainty to his availability and role heading into Week 7 at Arizona. Broncos coach Sean Payton has emphasized scheme tweaks to better feature the speedster, but consistent target volume and downfield opportunities remain key variables in a crowded receiver room.
