Raiders TE Darren Waller has been placed on IR after aggravating his hamstring injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The team reportedly expects Waller to make it back when first eligible, but that's not until Week 14. He's a fine stash on fantasy rosters if you have room, but Waller is also cuttable if you're in a squeeze. His absence leaves Foster Moreau as Vegas' lead TE for at least the next 4 games vs. the Colts, Broncos, Seahawks and Chargers. He's posted strong route rates and averaged 6.3 targets, 3.7 catches and 34 yards in 3 games without Waller this season. Consider Moreau a low-end TE1.

If he's out again, TE Foster Moreau will be a viable low-end TE1.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. He didn't practice all week, so it's possible that he misses more time. TE Foster Moreau (knee) is off the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. He'll be Vegas' lead pass-catching TE this weekend and is a lower-end spot-start option. Moreau averaged 4.8 targets, 3.7 catches and 41 yards in 6 games without Waller last year -- although that came in a different offense.

Raiders TE Darren Waller disappointed in Week 4 with only 3 catches for 24 yards. Derek Carr attempted a mid-pack 34 passes, but Waller saw a weak 14.7% target share. He also dropped his 2nd pass of the season. Most frustratingly, Waller’s dud came with both Hunter Renfrow and Foster Moreau sidelined. The veteran has now tallied fewer than 6 PPR points in back to back games and might find both teammates returning for a Week 5 date at Kansas City. That one could at least turn up boosted pass volume.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. He’s yet to return to practice, so consider him iffy for Week 5. Vegas will also be without TE Foster Moreau (knee) this weekend, boosting the target projections for WR Davante Adams, TE Darren Waller and WR Mack Hollins.
