Outlook Darren Waller
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.

Outlook Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals vs. Chargers — Minimal Usage Expected Despite Depleted Receiver Room
Kansas City faces Los Angeles with wide receivers Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton both ruled out, giving Royals an opportunity for added snaps on the perimeter. Even with vacated targets across the offense, Royals has drawn just two targets across his recent action, meaning Patrick Mahomes will likely lean more on Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy.
Our weekly projection pegs Royals for 1.6 catches and roughly 20 receiving yards on 3.3 targets (4.7 fantasy points). Kansas City sits as heavy favorites in an expected lower-scoring matchup, and with Royals rostered in just 2% of leagues, fantasy managers should leave him on the bench in standard formats.
