Draft note

by John Paulsen

Waller had an epic 90-1,146-3 breakout season on 117 targets, though the next closest Raider in targets was Hunter Renfrow with 71. I’d expect the offense to be more balanced in 2020 after the Raiders drafted Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards and Lynn Bowden, so Waller’s targets are likely to decrease in 2020. Fortunately, he can afford to lose some usage and still produce a top five fantasy season, but I wouldn’t expect another 1,000-yard season given all the weapons the Raiders added this offseason.

Raiders WR Henry Ruggs (knee, hamstring, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 4. Bryan Edwards (foot, ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 4. With Edwards out and Ruggs likely out, the best play in the Las Vegas passing game (other than Darren Waller) is Hunter Renfrow, a prime Sneaky Start for Week 4. He posted 6-84-1 last week against the Pats and is facing a Bills defense that has been shredded in the slot, yielding 9-107-1 to Cooper Kupp, 7-76 to Isaiah Ford and 7-115-1 to Jamison Crowder over the first three weeks. Renfrow closed last season with 7-107-1 against the Chargers and 6-102-1 against the Broncos, so he has produced when called upon.

LV TE Darren Waller - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Kansas City Chiefs

Darren Waller rebounded after a bad game against the Patriots in Week 3. He caught nine-of-12 balls thrown his way for 88 yards in a loss to the Bills and he continues to be the primary target in the Las Vegas passing game. Waller is averaging 10 targets per game and should be considered a must-start every week.

The Chiefs rank 17th in aFPA to opposing tight ends this season and Waller is really the only game in town for the Raiders, who are hobbled at the wide receiver positions. We have him ranked in our top-five this week and he should be active in all league formats.
