Waller's involvement continued to climb, as his 64% route rate was easily his highest in a game this season. With Carolina set to go on bye in Week 5, Coker likely returns to the lineup for their next game. That could bump Waller's route rate back below 60%.

Waller's 64% route rate promising but bye week and Coker return limit upside.

Darren Waller was a popular tight end streamer add for Week 4 with a home matchup against Detroit (a defense bleeding fantasy points to tight ends) and added volume due to Jalen Coker's absence. However, Tetairoa McMillan dominated targets (14 of 16 for 192 yards and 2 TDs), limiting Waller to three catches for 36 yards. The positive: Waller's route rate climbed to 64%, his highest of the season. The negative: Carolina goes on bye in Week 5, and Coker's return could drop Waller's route rate back below 60%, eliminating the main appeal of the waiver add.
