The veteran tight end didn't look like he lost a step last year while playing for the Dolphins and scoring four touchdowns in his first three games. Had it not been for an injury, we would have been talking about as one of the best waiver wire pickups of the season. Even after five weeks on the sidelines, Waller came back and topped 40 yards in three of his last five outings, finding the end zone twice during that stretch.

Waller's late-season production and Panthers landing make him a forgotten waiver gem.

Waller, 33 years old (turning 34 in September), found a home in Carolina after training all offseason to continue his career. He didn't look like he lost a step last year with Miami, scoring four touchdowns in his first three games. An injury sidelined him for five weeks, but he returned and topped 40 yards in three of his last five outings with two additional touchdowns. As a last-round deep stash or potential early-season waiver add, Waller is a forgotten man in fantasy at the moment.
