Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He was listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. That adds some re-injury risk to a guy who already looked like a fringe fantasy option.

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) is "trending in the right direction to play" vs. the Chiefs this afternoon, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Waddle got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and is listed as questionable after aggravating a chest injury last week. That adds risk to a guy who's already been a fantasy bust.

Waddle aggravated a previous chest injury late in the Week 7 win over the Cardinals, per Rapoport. It at least sounds like he dodged a long-term absence, but Waddle owners should be making other plans for Week 8. We'll keep you updated on his status leading up to kickoff.

All four of Waddle's grabs came within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage.

Jaylen Waddle caught 2 passes for 19 yards, and Troy Franklin had 2 for 16. Bo Nix threw only 27 passes for 123 yards.

Broncos HC Sean Payton is taking over offensive play-calling duties for Sunday's game vs. the Chargers.

That came off the heels of Waddle’s disappointing Week 1 performance catching 1 of 3 targets for 2 yards. The Broncos got Waddle involved early and often in the game plan, with scripted passes to him allowing Waddle to pick up yards after the catch. He appears back on the track of being an every-week starter.
