Waller faces the league's softest tight end defense with potential WR injuries boosting his ceiling.

Darren Waller has been TE9 over the past two weeks, averaging four receptions on 5.5 targets for 42 receiving yards, one touchdown, and 14.2 PPR fantasy points per game. This week's matchup against Detroit gives him top-three upside; the Lions have surrendered 33.4 fantasy points per game to tight ends over three weeks—the most in the NFL, 12 more than the next-closest team—and have given up a receiving touchdown and 13.3 fantasy points to five different tight ends. The Panthers may be without Jalen Coker (quad) and Xavier Legette (knee), further elevating Waller's ceiling.
