Darren Waller Bottled Up Versus Bears
5 years agoOakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller had his least productive game of the season on Sunday, finishing the afternoon with four catches for 39 yards. With Tyrell Williams inactive, the 26-year-old failed to make an impact against a tough Bears Defense as he's yet to find the end zone through five games this season. The team leaned on the run game more than anticipated after getting out to a 17-point lead at halftime, so the game script didn't work out in his favor this week. Waller still finished tied for the team-high with five targets, but couldn't find much open space on the field to pick up more yardage. Waller remains a high-floor TE1 weekly, but owners will have to fill their void at the position with the Raiders on a Week 6 bye.
