Raiders Tight Ends

Darren Waller – Start ‘Em

Darren Waller is officially matchup-proof, as he continued his incredible season with a massive performance against the Los Angeles Chargers. Waller had nine catches for 150 yards and a touchdown on Thursday night and seemed to have great chemistry with whoever was under center for the Raiders.

Waller is also coming off his first Pro Bowl selection as he was named the backup tight end to Travis Kelce on the AFC squad for his incredible play this season. He is second in just about every statistical category for his position behind Kelce and is proving to be one of the best players in the league, not just at the tight end position, but in the entire NFL.

The Dolphins have done a good job of shutting down most tight ends this season, but most tight ends are not as good as Darren Waller. The Dolphins are 26th in points given up to tight ends this year, but as we have said already, Waller is matchup proof so keep on rolling with him in your lineup.
