It's anything but desperation when it comes to Darren Waller. Darren Waller is not only a player you want to stream this week, but he's a stream option at the flex position... The Lions have given up five tight end one weeks... Everyone's putting up numbers against the Lions at the tight end position... We saw the touchdowns in week two and then we saw the increased target uh production and catch catch production in week three.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Elite matchup vs. Lions; premium streaming option at TE or flex

Darren Waller is a premium streaming option this week and can be deployed at TE or flex even if starting another tight end elsewhere. The Lions have given up five tight end one weeks in three games and the most points to opposing tight ends over the first three weeks in the last 10 years; recent performances by Kenyan Drake, Jawan Johnson, Dalton Goedert, and Jeremy Ruckert exemplify this weakness. The game total is north of 50 points with Carolina at home in prime time. Waller showed touchdowns in week two and increased target and catch production in week three, heading in the right direction into an elite matchup. This is not a desperation play.
