Outlook Darren Waller
Fading Fantasy Demand Casts Darren Waller as High-Risk Stash
Darren Waller enters his age-34 season with a highly volatile fantasy outlook. His 2025 campaign with Miami featured excellent efficiency in limited action, where he caught six touchdowns on just 24 receptions over eight games. However, injuries continue to define his career trajectory, as he hasn't played a full schedule since 2020.
Our data shows fantasy managers are aggressively souring on his outlook. Over the past month, his ownership rate has plummeted from 54% to 39%, while his active start rate has dropped to just 10%. With no clear team depth chart context and fading market demand, he is no longer considered a reliable weekly starter.
Unless he lands in a highly favorable offensive environment, his path to productivity relies entirely on unsustainable touchdown efficiency. We project him as a late-round flyer or waiver-wire stash rather than a core tight end solution for standard formats.

Outlook Colby Parkinson
Touchdown Regression Threatens Late-Round Value in a Crowded Rams Tight End Room
Colby Parkinson technically enters the season atop the Rams' tight end depth chart, but he operates within a highly crowded room. Alongside experienced veterans Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen, the Rams' coaching staff continues to rotate young talents Terrance Ferguson and Max Klare, likely capping Parkinson's snap share.
Following a career-best 2025 season where he secured 49 receptions and a massive 10 touchdowns, heavy statistical regression is expected. Our projections reflect this decline, forecasting a modest stat line of 36 catches for 351 yards and four scores.
Fantasy managers have taken notice of his red-zone upside, pushing his 1.0 PPR draft cost up from an ADP of 220 in early May to 187 in June. While we view him as a decent late-round value, his lack of target volume makes him a touchdown-dependent depth piece.
