Darren Waller caught eight of 10 targets for 90 yards and one touchdown in the Panthers' 26-21 loss to the Broncos in Week 9.
Fantasy Impact
Waller scored from 15 yards out in the third quarter to give Carolina a 14-13 lead. He also led the Panthers in receptions, targets, and receiving yards. That's a significant improvement from his one-catch, 11-yard performance in Week 8. Waller was Bryce Young's primary receiving option Sunday and has the production to warrant consideration as a fantasy starter against the Saints in Week 10.
Darren Waller caught 1-of-2 targets for 11 yards in Thursday's 27-19 loss to the Packers.
Fantasy Impact
Waller now has just two catches on a total of six targets over the last three weeks. Unlike in Week 7, when he scored on a 50-yard gain, the veteran TE was limited to just 11 yards in Week 8. Early on this season, it looked like Waller would be a significant contributor for the Panthers. That has now faded.
Darren Waller caught one of two targets for a 50-yard touchdown in the Panthers' 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday,
Fantasy Impact
If you have to only catch one ball, you might as well make it count. Waller rewarded those who started him with a long 50-yard score before going silent for the rest of the way. He's a risky start in fantasy despite some initial optimism for his role,
Carolina Panthers tight end Darren Waller did not record a reception on two targets in a Week 6 win over Philadelphia.
Fantasy Impact
Waller's two targets were his fewest since Week 1. He had 14 between Weeks 3 and 4 heading into a Week 5 bye, but tight end Tommy Tremble got involved with two touchdowns in Week 6. The Panthers' offense has been potent, but Tremble has been involved as well with 11 catches in the last three games.
Darren Waller (toe) was limited at practice again on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran tight end was a limited participant for another practice on Thursday. His toe injury doesn't seem to be a serious issue, but there's always a chance that it will leave him out for a week. Tommy Tremble (rib) would see more work if that's the case.
