Darren Waller Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller caught three of his five targets for 24 yards in a Week 4 victory over the Denver Broncos. Waller was ineffective for fantasy purposes for the second straight week with Hunter Renfrow (concussion) sidelined as Davante Adams continues to operate as a target hog. Still, Waller is one of the league's premier talents at the tight end position and big performances will come, even if inconsistently. He will remain a strong fantasy TE1 in a Week 5 AFC West clash with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller could see an uptick in targets in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos if wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) is ruled out. Renfrow has yet to practice this week and is trending in the wrong direction towards suiting up. Waller has caught 13 of 19 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown over three games in 2022. Denver has been stout this season on the defensive side of the ball but has struggled against opposing tight ends. The Broncos' DST ranks 20th in DVOA against the tight end and has allowed the eighth most points to the position. Waller has a plus matchup and is a top-five option at tight end in Week 4.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller caught three passes for 22 yards in a 24-22 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The star tight end only received five targets in this one as he saw his fellow tight end Foster Moreau receive five as well. Waller has been one of the best tight ends in fantasy football this season. This performance certainly comes as a surprise to fantasy managers in what seemed to be a plus matchup. Regardless of this bump in the road, Waller is a top-tier tight end and should be started week in and week out. Look for the top-5 option to bounce back in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos.
