Full Player Fantasy AnalysisWhat You Need to Know:
Draft Sharks Bottom Line:
Waller has been awesome the past 2 seasons, ranking 2nd among TEs in PPR points both years (2nd and 4th in non-PPR). He turns just 29 in September and returns to the same offense with the same QB this season.
So Waller is 1 of the safer picks in fantasy football. The only problem is that he’ll be much more expensive in fantasy drafts this summer. We like him in the 3rd round of PPR and non-PPR drafts -- and the 2nd round of TE-premium drafts like the FFPC.
Waller out for Week 13
Raiders TE Darren Waller (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. Washington. He's considered "week to week" and isn't a lock to be back for next Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. TE Foster Moreau posted a 6-60-1 line when Waller missed Week 7 and is a viable fantasy spot starter.
Waller doubtful for Week 13
The Raiders list TE Darren Waller (knee) as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. Washington. He didn’t practice all week and won’t play. Waller’s absence makes TE Foster Moreau a viable Week 13 spot starter. He posted a 6-60-1 line on 6 targets when Waller missed Week 7.
Waller out Wednesday
Raiders TE Darren Waller (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He's a long shot to play vs. Washington this weekend. Waller's absence would turn TE Foster Moreau into a viable Week 13 spot starter.
Waller "week to week"
Raiders interim HC Rich Bisaccia called TE Darren Waller "week-to-week" with the knee injury he suffered on Thanksgiving. That suggests that Waller is unlikely to play vs. Washington on Sunday. We'll keep an eye on him this week, but fantasy owners should be making other plans for Week 13. TE Foster Moreau would be a viable replacement after posting a 6-60-1 line when Waller missed Week 7
Waller has strained IT band
Raiders TE Darren Waller has been diagnosed with a strained IT band in his knee, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. Rapoport calls it "some very good news" but doesn't give a timetable for Waller's return. We'll look for further updates.
