Darren Waller

Excluding the Week 7 game, where Waller left early with the pec injury, he has had a 61.5% route share with a 15.7% target share, 40.5 receiving yards per game, 2.11 yards per route run, and an 18.9% first-read share. In those six games, Waller has had seven red zone targets, four deep targets, and six touchdowns. In that span, he has averaged 13.5 PPR points per game, which over the course of the entire season would make him the TE5 in fantasy points per game. Waller the Baller should cook again this week. The Bengals have allowed the most receiving yards and the most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Tua Tagovailoa finished with an average time to throw of 3.36 seconds in Week 15, the first qualified game of his career with a time to throw longer than three seconds.

He completed 4 of 6 attempts on dropbacks over 4 seconds for 60 yards and a touchdown, but his tendency to hold onto the ball led him to face 10 pressures (30.3% pressure rate) and take four sacks. It's the first time Tagovailoa has faced double-digit pressures in a game since Week 5 (Next Gen Stats).

Two of the passing TDs went to Darren Waller, who erupted in the second half with the Steelers playing more off coverage. The big-bodied TE caught 7 of 8 targets (29% target share) for 66 yards (also drew another two-point conversion attempt). He played the most TE snaps for Miami (not the case last week).

Add him and play him next versus the Bengals (and the following week versus Tampa Bay).

The schedule: No.1 for TEs rest of the season.

In Weeks 13-14, Darren Waller had a 60.8% route share, a 13.6% target share, 30 receiving yards per game, 1.94 yards per route run and an 18.8% first-read share, per Fantasy Points Data. Waller has a wonderful schedule remaining that could allow him to post strong TE1 numbers weekly. Each of his final opponents ranks inside the top 12 for most fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends.
