Fantasy Football Player Notes

Overall, Darren Waller is the TE16 in fantasy points per game with two TE1 finishes in weekly scoring (TE5, TE1). Waller has managed four games with double-digit PPR points. Last week, Waller saw a huge spike in his usage with a season-high 67.4% route share, 25.6% target share, and 28.6% first-read share. I don't expect that usage to continue this week, but considering how good Waller was last week, it might be tough for Carolina to put that genie back in the bottle. Overall, Waller has a 54.3% route share, a 9.6% target share, 1.58 YPRR, four red zone targets, three deep targets, and a 10.6% first-read share. Over their last five games, New Orleans has allowed the sixth-most yards per target and the third-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends.
