In Week 5, Denver Broncos receiver Jaylen Waddle was limited to two catches for 19 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers, contributing minimally to the team's 23-17 victory. Despite receiving five targets and adding a nine-yard run, Waddle struggled to replicate his previous performance from Week 2. Throughout the season, he has not surpassed 35 receiving yards in any game aside from that outburst. The Broncos will need stronger chemistry between Waddle and quarterback Bo Nix to improve the passing game moving forward.
