Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Darren Waller

8 TDs in 11 games; routes 42%→56%; owned 7%; TE16 with arrow up

Ian Hartitz identifies Waller as a priority waiver target and streaming option. Waller has eight touchdowns in just 11 games over his last two years (tied for fourth most at position). Route rate increased from 42% to 56%, signaling increased offensive role. Owned in only 7% of ESPN and Yahoo leagues despite strong production; likely to remain under 15% ownership even after pickup activity. Panthers' pass-happy offense (first at +11% drop back rate over expected) and loss of Jonathan Brooks for 6-8 weeks should keep the offense pass-heavy, supporting Waller's red zone threat status in a position where touchdown upside is often the primary value driver. Ranked TE16.
