Quick Summary

The article discusses prop bets for Sunday Night Football between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams, focusing on wide receiver Jaylen Waddle's potential performance. After a poor start in Week 1 against Kansas City, Waddle had a strong outing in Week 2 with 138 receiving yards from quarterback Bo Nix.

Story summary

Jaylen Waddle, the new top receiver for the Denver Broncos, had a strong performance in their recent game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he caught eight passes on ten targets for 138 yards and provided crucial vertical stretch to the offense. Despite not scoring a touchdown, his efforts accounted for over half of the team's air yards and nearly one-third of its total targets.

The Los Angeles Rams are expected to use man coverage extensively against receivers, as they did in their last game against the New York Giants, where they employed it on 36.4% of defensive snaps. This strategy could benefit Waddle, who excels at creating yards after the catch and breaking open deep passes when given space by aggressive coverages. With offensive coordinator David Webb likely to exploit these tendencies again in their upcoming Sunday Night Football matchup against the Rams, Waddle's potential for high-yardage performances remains significant.
