Justin Boone· Mar 21, 2026
After the Waddle-to-Denver trade, Boone puts Jalen Waddle back in the low-end WR2 range, drops Courtland Sutton to a touchdown-or-bust WR3, and thinks Bo Nix climbs back into low-end QB1 territory.
“Now for me, this puts him back in that low end wide receiver two conversation at bumps Courtland Sutton down to maybe more of that touchdown or bust kind of wide receiver three.”
