Darren Waller Fantasy

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller caught just three of his seven targets for 20 yards in the team's 30-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants' game plan was to get the ball out of Jones' hands quickly, and he rarely took the chance downfield to the veteran tight end. Jones' lone interception came on a target to Waller late in the fourth quarter. The former Pro Bowler will have another chance to prove himself as a top tight end option in fantasy football next Monday against the Seattle Seahawks.

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller is a top-five option at the tight end position in Week 3, despite a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants' offense will have to lean on their veteran due to the absence of running back Saquon Barkley (ankle). Through two games, the ex-Raider has caught nine of 13 targets for 112 yards but is still searching for the endzone. That's tied for TE4 in PPR formats heading into Week 3. The 49ers have been solid everywhere on the defensive of the ball so far this season. Expect a solid, but maybe not spectacular, stat line from Waller on Thursday Night Football.

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller caught six of his eight targets for 76 yards in the team's 31-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Waller, like other members of the Giants' offense, was on his way to another subpar fantasy performance in the first half. Then, New York came out in the second half looking like a different team, scoring on every possession in the final 30 minutes. The 31-year-old will look for his first score as a member of the Giants on Thursday Night Football when they visit the San Francisco 49ers. Despite the tough matchup, Waller will be considered a must-start tight end in Week 3.
