Darren Waller is a legitimate 12-team league waiver add. Despite athletic limitations preventing him from running a high route share, he remains elite at finding soft spots in zone coverage and red-zone efficiency.PositiveUsageSep 21, 2026
Route rate jumped from 35% to 56% week-over-week; scored two touchdowns (7-yard and 12-yard) on three targets; ran the most routes among Carolina tight ends with significant snap involvement in 13 personnel; comfortability starting him contingent on Evans or Tremble decreasing snap share.PositiveProjectionSep 9, 2026
Waller (listed as 'Goddard' in context, but referring to established elite tight ends) is grouped among the most reliable tight end options with 87% snap share, 82% route participation, 6-10 targets per game, and strong touchdown probability.NegativeUsageNo date
Waller received 3 targets in this game, partly because the Panthers were dominating and Teddy McMillan left no production on the bone for other receivers. Rashad White attributes the limited target share to game script rather than role concerns.PositiveUsageNo date

Darren Waller is ranked as the TE17 but is viewed as a solid backup option. He was more involved in the offense last week, playing 51% of snaps and receiving eight targets, and is considered an effective weapon in the red zone against a weak Detroit Lions defense.
