Ellis Johnson
True North Fantasy Football
One of the most interesting trades of this offseason in my opinion was the Giants bringing in Waller. Daniel Jones has notoriously had no elite weapons outside of Saquon Barkley, and now he has Waller, along with a plethora of solid WRs. The key to Waller's success will be if he can get a consistent target volume on this team loaded with playmakers from the slot position. If he becomes Jones' top target as the only big body in the middle of the field, he could volume his way into the top five. However, I believe he'll need Jones to pass for more than 15 touchdowns to crack that mark.

 Freiermuth is really a WR who qualifies at TE. I like his talent. I'm just not crazy about his situation. He'll go as far as Kenny Pickett can take him. How far that is though is the question. The upgrades on the offensive line will help, but Pittsburgh is still far from an offensive juggernaut. I want TEs I draft to be on explosive offenses. I want them to have a good chance at scoring TDs. I'm not sure Freiermuth can, even if Pittsburgh gets in the red zone. It's George Pickens who is their go-to guy. They also signed Allen Robinson. He could vulture some TDs in the red zone as well. Freiermuth's current ADP of TE 9 seems like his absolute ceiling if everything goes right, and I'm not sure it will. For that reason, I'm passing on him. Sorry Fry Guy, it's bye guy for Mark Ringo haha! Bust

3/14 - love the NYG's third round stab here, one of the most dangerous weapons when healthy and could be the #1 weapon like he was for the Raiders with back-to-back 1K years in 2019 & 20205/8: Darnell Washington might seem scary, but his low draft-capital + more blocker role may actually free up Frei to detach from the lineup more than expected
Pat Fitzmaurice
FantasyPros
After putting together back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2019 and 2020, Darren Waller has missed 14 games due to injury over the last two years. In 2021, a knee injury forced Waller to miss five late-season games. In 2022, a hamstring injury wiped out nearly half of his season. Now with the Giants, Waller could see a lot of targets for a team short on talent and size at the WR position. Waller has been reasonably productive when healthy the last two seasons, but he now has to be considered at least a mild health risk, and the big tight end will turn 31 in September.After a promising rookie season in which he had 60 catches for 497 yards and seven touchdowns, Pat Freiermuth scored only two TDs in 2022. But Freiermuth drew 98 targets in his second season and finished with 63 catches for 732 yards. The former second-round draft pick from Penn State offers a solid fantasy floor as a key component of the Pittsburgh passing game.
Derek Lofland
FantasyPros
Waller played only 8 games in the fantasy season, tallying 26 receptions for 353 yards and 3 TDs. Waller has a fresh start in New York, but he needs to stay healthy if he is going to be a TE1 in 2023.Pat Freiermuth tallied 63 receptions for 732 yards and 2 TDs in the 2022 fantasy season. If Kenny Pickett can make the jump in his second year, Freiermuth should see his TDs go up, which would make him a great TE1.
