Darren Waller at PHI — Low Projected Total Caps Streaming Appeal

Waller enters Week 6 fully healthy but continues to share snaps in Carolina's tight end rotation alongside Tommy Tremble. While he flashed two-touchdown upside earlier in the season, his usage has leveled off, tallying three catches on six targets for 36 yards in his most recent appearance.

Facing Philadelphia in a matchup with a low projected game total of 39 points, our models project Waller for 2.6 receptions, 28 yards, and 7.2 fantasy points. With his start rate dipping to 5%, he remains a touchdown-dependent option best treated as a deep-league flier.
