Fantasy Football Player Notes

Last week, Darren Waller saw his route share dip to 51.6% with a 16.7% target share, 40 receiving yards, 2.50 yards per route run, and a 17.4% first-read share. Waller is essentially the Dalton Kincaid of South Beach now. He's locked in a run-first offense with a part-time role in the offense. In his last four games, Waller has had three red zone targets and four deep targets. That's enough high cholesterol usage and efficiency to propel Waller to a TE1 finish this week, but there's risk here. There's no doubt about that. Since Week 10, Tampa Bay has allowed the sixth-most yards per target and the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Last week was a vintage Taysom Hill game as he had his highest snap rate of the season (43.6%) while catching four passes for 36 yards, chucking a 38-yard pass for a touchdown, and running the ball 12 times for 42 yards on the ground. Hill finished last week as the TE8 in fantasy. Hill could easily be a TE1 again this week with his Swiss army knife usage.
