Darren Waller Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller thinks his team's improved offense could be a top-five unit in the NFL this year. "The big thing for us is finishing in the red zone this year. I know that were doing everything in our power to improve upon that. I dont feel like having a top-five offense is out of the picture," Waller said. The Raiders added receivers Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards, and running back Lynn Bowden Jr. in the draft. They added veteran tight end Jason Witten in free agency, and receiver Tyrell Williams is healthy again. Waller had a breakout 2019 season as the team's best pass-catcher and should be seen as a top-five fantasy tight end in fall drafts. The Raiders were 11th in total offense last year but 23rd in scoring. Waller finished with 90 catches for 1,145 yards and three touchdowns.

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller (thumb) underwent surgery on his thumb on Monday. Waller should be fine for training camp next summer. A popular sleeper candidate at the shallowest position in fantasy football, Waller didn't disappoint those that took a chance on him in fantasy drafts. He caught 90 passes on 117 targets for 1,145 yards and three touchdowns in his first full season in the NFL. The 27-year-old should continue to be quarterback Derek Carr's No. 1 weapon through the air, making him a high-end fantasy TE1 for the 2020 season.

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller had a strong finish to his breakout campaign in the team's 16-15 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. He caught six of his team-high 10 targets for 107 scoreless yards, easily finishing the year as the team's top pass-catcher. Waller ended the campaign second at the position in receiving yards (1,145) and receptions (90), but was only able to find the end zone three times in the team's run-first offense. The 27-year-old will be a top-five tight end in drafts next season as he'll likely retain his high-volume role as the team moves it's home to Las Vegas.
