Darren Waller Expects To Play Against Saints

Darren Waller Expects To Play Against Saints

11 months ago

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring), who remains on Injured Reserve, fully expects to play in Week 15 on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, although not with a full workload. Waller said he had "no issues" this week with his hamstring in practice, ran the full route tree and was able to open it up. The Giants have until 4 pm ET on Saturday to officially activate Waller from IR so that he can play on Sunday. The 31-year-old will eventually resume starting duties at the tight end position for the G-Men, but fantasy managers should be looking to avoid him in the first round of the playoffs in most leagues since he hasn't played in a game since Week 8 and will see limited snaps if he's indeed active. Before his injury, Waller had 36 receptions for 384 yards and only one touchdown in eight games played. UPDATE: Waller is officially listed as questionable for Week 15.
