Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Darren Waller

Waller elevated to WR4 this week due to Bowers injury; forced volume play.

With Brock Bowers injured, Darren Waller becomes a beneficiary in the Raiders offense. Hartitz rates him as a wide receiver 4 for the week, noting that while Waller himself is 'good,' the real play is the opportunity created by forced volume. Hartitz points to precedent in the 49ers offense (DeMarcus Robinson, Kendrick Bourne, Richie James) where lesser players elevated into big roles produced huge games, and Waller was force-fed targets in preseason action without key weapons like Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, or Mike Evans.
