Darren Waller Expected To Play Sunday Night
3 years agoLas Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (knee) is expected to play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to a source. Waller hasn't played since Thanksgiving and was expected to be a game-time decision for this must-win contest against their division rivals to close out the final week of the regular season. The 29-year-old is unlikely to be 100%, which makes him a tricky fantasy play in single-year formats with a championship on the line. Don't be surprised if Waller has his snaps scaled back in his return, and he could be a decoy to open things up for the rest of the offense when he's on the field. Because of the chance that Waller doesn't play his normal allotment of snaps, he'll be too risky for most DFS gamers. Foster Moreau has been a touchdown-dependent TE2 in Waller's absence, but he should be avoided with Waller returning.
