Darren Waller

Darren Waller (groin) has been placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

Waller has now been on IR twice, and this time his season will end. He had some productive games as a Dolphin, but it certainly was not what they or fantasy managers had hoped for when he came out of retirement to play for the team.

Darren Waller missed practice on Thursday.

Waller's status is uncertain for the season finale. If he sits, Greg Dulcich would take on a bigger role.

Darren Waller caught 3-of-5 targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Impact

Waller came into the week coming off of a two-touchdown performance in Week 15, but he wasn't able to have a worthy encore performance against the Bengals, finishing with just 40 scoreless yards in a loss. He should not be trusted to start in the championship game next week in most leagues.

Darren Waller (rest/knee) was a limited participant on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran was limited at another practice on Thursday. The team is intentionally limiting his workload right now, partially because he is managing a minor knee injury. He should be available to play in Week 16 and will be looking to have a worthy encore to his two-touchdown performance from last week.

Darren Waller served as the focal point of the Miami passing attack during Monday night's loss to Pittsburgh, catching seven of his eight targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran tight end led the team in both receptions and targets, delivering the bulk of his production in the fourth quarter with scoring grabs of six and 13 yards.

Fantasy Impact

The multi-score performance highlights Waller's significant red-zone equity when active; he has now tallied six touchdowns in just seven games this season. He will look to continue his efficient run in a favorable Week 16 matchup against the Bengals.
