Dolphins TE Darren Waller (pectoral) returned from IR to catch 2 of 3 targets for 47 yards vs. New Orleans. Waller’s 69% route rate resembled his pre-injury role.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller suffered a pectoral injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Browns and is questionable to return. He wasn't targeted before exiting. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Waller has been ruled out.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is believed to have suffered a dislocated knee in Monday night's game vs. the Jets, according to multiple reports. He was transported from the stadium to the hospital to confirm that diagnosis and start getting treatment. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport notes that this injury "often comes with multiple ligament tears." Hill's 2025 season is over, and it's fair to wonder about his football career. He turns 32 in March.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill suffered a gruesome left knee injury in the third quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Jets. Trainers rushed to stabilize the knee in an air cast before Hill was carted off the field. This looks like a season-ending injury, but we'll update Hill's status when we know more. It's a huge loss for the Dolphins offense and will open up considerable target opportunity for WRs Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, TE Darren Waller, and RB De'Von Achane.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (hip) was left off the final injury report, putting him on track to make his 2025 debut vs. the Jets on Monday night. Waller remained limited in practice all week, though, and is unlikely to play anything close to a full slate of snaps in this one. Waller should not be in Week 4 fantasy lineups.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller had a setback with his hip injury before Thursday's practice and is "doubtful" to play vs. the Colts this weekend, HC Mike McDaniel said Friday. It's an inauspicious start for Waller, who came out of retirement to join the Fins in early July. He's not worth rostering outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues. Waller's absence in the opener will just mean more targets for WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and RB De'Von Achane. Julian Hill and Tanner Conner will handle TE duties for Miami.

Giants TE Darren Waller told the New York Post that he's "still undecided" whether he'll continue playing in 2024. He'll turn 32 in September and has dealt with a plethora of injuries throughout his career, including a lingering hamstring issue last year. Waller is set to make $10.5 million this season and count $14 million against the salary cap, but the Giants have no intention of cutting him, according to the New York Post. We'll keep an eye on this situation, but Waller obviously carries elevated risk in fantasy drafts until he makes a decision on his football future. We've moved him down the fantasy football TE rankings for now.

Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) has been designated to return from IR. He said last week that he was hoping to return for this Sunday's game vs. the Saints. We'll keep an eye on Waller's progress over the next few days, but he'd be tough to trust in Week 15 fantasy lineups coming off a multi-week hamstring injury.

Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) told reporters Wednesday that he's hoping to return for Week 15 vs. the Saints. Waller said that he’s been running routes and that his hamstring is feeling good, per The Athletic's Dan Duggan. We'll track Waller's practice participation next week, but he'd be a risky fantasy start in his first game back from a multi-week hamstring injury. Waller would get positive matchups in Weeks 16 and 17 vs. the Eagles and Rams, so he still has a chance to help fantasy teams this season.

The Giants placed TE Darren Waller on IR with his latest hamstring injury. He was already ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders and will now also miss the next three games vs. the Cowboys, Commanders, and Patriots. The Giants then have a Week 13 bye, so Week 14 is the earliest we'll see Waller again. He's droppable in fantasy leagues without deep benches or IR spots. Daniel Bellinger will take over as New York's lead TE with Waller out. He averaged 2.5 catches, 22 yards, and 0.2 TDs across 12 games as a rookie last year.

Giants HC Brian Daboll said Thursday that TE Darren Waller (hamstring) won't play vs. the Raiders this weekend and might require a trip to IR. That'd knock him out for four total games. It's not a big surprise after Waller admitted that he'll likely miss multiple weeks with his latest hamstring injury. We'd try to keep him stashed on fantasy benches considering the sorry state of the TE position, but Waller might need to be dropped in shallow-bench leagues. His absence leaves Daniel Bellinger as New York's top TE. He averaged 2.5 catches, 22 yards, and 0.2 TDs across 12 games as a rookie last year. Bellinger is an emergency-only fantasy option.

Giants TE Darren Waller admitted Wednesday that he might "potentially" miss weeks with his latest hamstring injury, per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. “It may take a little bit," Waller added. It's not a surprise considering his lengthy history of hamstring trouble. We can safely assume that Waller won't play vs. the Raiders on Sunday. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 10. It's worth noting that the Giants have a Week 13 bye.

Giants HC Brian Daboll said TE Darren Waller (hamstring) won't practice on Wednesday. Daboll didn't rule Waller out for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders, but we'd be surprised if he played considering his history of hamstring injuries.

RB Saquon Barkley essentially served as the Giants’ entire offense in Week 8 vs. the Jets, totaling 36 carries for 128 rushing yards with 3 catches. The team had to pivot early on after starting QB Tyrod Taylor (ribs) and TE Darren Waller (hamstring) left in the second quarter due to injury and settled on pounding the rock all the way through OT. It’s difficult to draw any meaningful fantasy-based conclusions from this game due to the dire circumstances. Keep an eye on the practice reports this coming week to see who’ll be available to suit up vs. the Raiders in Week 9.

Giants WR Darren Waller has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Jets with a hamstring injury. He's been dealing with hamstring trouble all season and was questionable coming into this one. We'll look for more info on Waller's status going forward.

Giants Darren Waller is sitting out Wednesday's practice with a groin injury. It's too early to tell what his outlook for Sunday's game against the Bills will be, but this obviously doesn't help a guy who has disappointed fantasy managers already. And it comes at the same time his QB is dealing with a neck issue (which is keeping Daniel Jones out of Wednesday's practice as well). Avoiding Giants in Week 6 as much as you reasonably can seems like a good idea.

Giants TE Darren Waller woke up with 8 grabs for 86 yards in a blowout loss to Miami. Waller set a season-high with 11 targets. Game flow always projected favorably for the veteran, and sure enough, New York quickly faced a double-digit deficit. Now, we’ll need to check on the health of QB Daniel Jones, who left in the 4th quarter with a neck injury. If he’s unable to go for Week 6 (at Buffalo), Tyrod Taylor will start.
