Waller's pass-catching prowess gives him RB3/flex upside in Tampa Bay's backup role.

Waller stepped into Rachaad White's old role in Tampa Bay as an overqualified No. 2 back with weekly RB3/flex potential thanks to his pass-catching prowess. Last year in Pittsburgh, Waller caught 73 balls for 486 yards and three touchdowns, while finishing with over 1,000 scrimmage yards and eight total TDs. In four games where he saw at least 15 touches for the Steelers, he posted 134 yards and two TDs in the first, 105 yards in the second, 122 yards in the third and 126 yards in the fourth. If Irving ever misses time, Waller will immediately be in the conversation as a top-15 fantasy back.
