Star wideout Jaylen Waddle will make his Denver Broncos debut on primetime, with the team kicking off its 2026 campaign against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.
Waddle is sporting new threads after spending his first five seasons with the Miami Dolphins. He enters the year looking to realize his untapped offensive potential, playing for a legitimate Super Bowl contender alongside franchise quarterback Bo Nix.
Kickoff from Arrowhead Stadium is at 8:15 p.m. ET. The Chiefs are 2.5-point home favorites with -130 moneyline odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Broncos are +110 underdogs, with the game total set at O/U 43.5 points.
Let’s dive into the top Jaylen Waddle prop bet for Monday’s clash between the Broncos and the Chiefs.

Best Bet: Jaylen Waddle 60+ Receiving Yards (-107)
A change of scenery is just what the doctor ordered for Jaylen Waddle. The star receiver had reached his offensive ceiling in Miami with embattled quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Even so, the Alabama product cleared 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons and finished 2025 with 64 receptions for 910 yards and six touchdowns.
Waddle, 27, now slots in as the clear WR1 for a franchise with its sights on a Lombardi Trophy — and a far more reliable weapon under center. Third-year quarterback Bo Nix is recovered and ready to go after breaking his ankle during last year’s playoff run, and he flashed the budding chemistry with his new top target with a 35-yard connection during the preseason.
While Kansas City boasted one of the NFL’s top secondaries in 2025, it will appear far more porous after losing All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie. Waddle should find gaps in the coverage, and Nix has the tools to reward him for a strong introduction on Monday Night Football.
