Darren Waller vs. Buccaneers — Touchdown-dependent flyer in a divisional clash

Operating as the secondary tight end behind Tommy Tremble in Carolina's offense, Darren Waller's volume has dwindled. After flashing early with two scores against Atlanta, he was held without a catch on two targets in his last outing. The veteran remains healthy, but his route participation and target share have settled into a rotational, situational role.

Our projections peg Waller for roughly 2.4 receptions and 25 yards with modest touchdown upside against Tampa Bay. With fantasy roster rates plummeting down to 13% and start rates at just 2%, fantasy managers should treat the veteran as a touchdown-or-bust streamer rather than a viable lineup regular.

Outlook Dalton Schultz

Dalton Schultz vs NYG — Low-End Option in a Crowded Passing Attack

Schultz is off the injury report for Week 7 after clearing a quad issue and remains Houston's top tight end. However, with Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Marvin Harrison Jr. commanding priority looks, Schultz has seen a reduced role, especially with Houston favored by double digits against the Giants.

Fantasy managers have responded accordingly, with his start rate dropping to 14% across leagues. While he caught 7 passes over his last two games, Schultz is still searching for his first touchdown this season. We project around 4 receptions and 39 yards, keeping him in the low-end streaming tier.
