5 years agoOakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller appeared to be putting his recent shoulder woes behind him in the team's preseason Week 2 matchup. After suffering an AC joint sprain on August 3, Waller missed the preseason opener last weekend and has appeared sporadically in practice since. He was active and effective against the Cardinals on Thursday, picking up a slick reception for seven yards and was also found wide open in the end zone on the same drive, but was overthrown on a pass thrown by Mike Glennon. Waller continues to get praise from the coaching staff for his athleticism and strong receiving hands, making him a viable breakout candidate in 2019. He'll take over the void left by Jared Cook, albeit without the high volume of work, and could provide sneaky value at the thin tight end position this season.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
