Darren Waller

Week 15 at Cleveland Browns

Darren Waller has missed the last couple of games with an injury and he’s considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status and have a backup plan in place, but he’s a must-start if he returns to action. The Raiders are a mess, offensively, without him and he should walk back into consistent targets when he’s healthy.

This week, Waller faces a Browns defense that ranks 26th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. If he starts – and that sounds like a big if – then he should be active in all leagues. But watch that injury report carefully heading into Saturday, as he’s not considered likely to start. The good news is that you’ll know on Saturday whether he’s going to play, so that gives you time for a backup plan. Tread lightly.
