5 years agoOakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller lived up to his preseason hype in Monday night's win over the Broncos. He hauled in seven of his team-high eight targets, picking up 70 yards as a reliable pass-catcher for quarterback Derek Carr. He was a mismatch against defenders all evening and showed off his dependable hands with a few slick catches on some crossing routes. Game flow hurt Waller's fantasy value late in this one with a heavy dose of rushing plays as the team held a two-score lead for most of the fourth quarter. It was a positive to see him so involved in the passing attack nonetheless, and he'll be a low-end TE1 in a plus matchup versus a susceptible Chiefs Defense next week at the Coliseum.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
