Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel hints at potential of shutting down TE Darren Waller

Sep 10, 2025

Mike McDaniel on TE Darren Waller's availability for Week 2:

"I expect to not know what to expect until later on this week ... We may get to a point where we realize the risk is too great for the rest of the season and we'll have to do what's best for the team."

Related Players: Julian Hill, Tanner Conner

Fantasy Impact:

It was always a pretty wild move to trade for a retired tight end who had been dealing with a litany of injuries, but here we are. Conner was more involved than Julian Hill in the offense in Week 1, turning four targets into 20 yards, but he's not worth a look in fantasy until we see more out of him. Waller can be dropped in all but the deepest TE Premium leagues.

49ers officially are signing veteran kicker Eddy Pineiro to their active roster on a one-year deal, per his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey.

Related players: Jake Moody

Fantasy Impact:

The Niners worked out Pineiro and he's now the official replacement for Moody. Pineiro could be on the fantasy radar this season assuming he sticks with the team. San Francisco is banged up at the moment, but could be a high-scoring team once they get back to full strength.

Head coach Dan Quinn said at his Tuesday press conference that the team has “zero concerns” about Daniels’ health.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say Quinn explained that listing Daniels as a full participant on the estimated practice report was simply about transparency, and that the rookie is on track to play without restrictions. Daniels played every snap in the Week 1 win over the Giants, going 19-of-30 for 233 yards and a touchdown while adding 68 rushing yards on 11 carries.

Fantasy Impact:

Moody had a rough 2024 season and many speculated he wouldn't even get a chance in 2025. In Week 1 he missed a kick and had another blocked and the Niners have seen enough. They will make a move for another kicker this week ahead of Week 2.
