Darren Waller Could See Limited Role In Potential Week 15 Return

12 months ago

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) has been on the Injured Reserve list since Week 9 due to a hamstring injury. Hamstring issues have been a problem for the former Pro Bowler in each of the last three seasons, so the Giants might proceed with caution moving forward. Waller is hopeful he can return in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints, but Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports he is unlikely to see a full workload if he's activated off IR. That said, he'll be an ultra-risky fantasy option in his potential return. The Giants would likely only utilize him on third downs and in the red zone, so he can be considered a touchdown-or-bust option in Week 15. If he's out, Daniel Bellinger will draw another start.
