WADDLE DEALT TO DENVER!

The Denver Broncos acquired wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and a fourth-round draft pick in 2026 (No. 111 overall) from the Miami Dolphins for a first-round draft pick in 2026 (No. 30 overall), a third-round draft pick in 2026 (No. 94 overall) and a fourth-round draft pick in 2026 (No. 130 overall).

What does it give the Denver Broncos
The Broncos are really going for the Super Bowl with this move. Already boasting quality wide receivers in Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr., Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant, Denver decided to add a true No. 1 wideout in Waddle. Does this mean one of the other receivers is now available?

What does it give the Miami Dolphins
In 2026, the Dolphins will look nothing like the teams of the recent past. The offense will be far more run-oriented under new head coach Jeff Hafley, which explains the decision to trade Waddle away. Miami got a quality trade package in return but can they now find a good wide receiver to replace Waddle?

Fantasy impact
Waddle was often the second option in Miami (behind Tyreek Hill), so moving to Denver should help him in terms of targets. This trade may move Waddle's fantasy value up but there are no guarantees. Draft him in the middle rounds and hope.
