Outlook Darren Waller
Darren Waller vs. Buccaneers — Low-Volume Option Dependent on Red-Zone Looks
Darren Waller is healthy heading into Sunday but continues to operate as the secondary option behind Tommy Tremble on Carolina's tight end depth chart. After drawing just two targets without a catch in his last contest, the 34-year-old veteran's route share and volume have receded following his two-touchdown performance earlier in the season.
With fantasy managers actively starting him in only 3% of leagues, confidence has fallen sharply over the past month. Our weekly projection pegs Waller for roughly 2.4 receptions and 25 yards (6.5 fantasy points) against Tampa Bay, leaving him as a touchdown-reliant dart throw who belongs on the bench in standard leagues.

Omar Cooper vs. Dolphins — Rookie Looks to Build on Breakout Performance
Cooper enters Week 7 after capturing NFL Rookie of the Week honors, posting six receptions, 103 yards, and a 48-yard touchdown against New England following his return from an ankle injury. Operating as New York's primary slot receiver alongside Garrett Wilson, the rookie displayed game-breaking run-after-catch ability that injected immediate juice into the offense.
Fantasy managers responded by driving his roster rate above 70%, though his start rate sits near 20% while fantasy managers verify weekly volume. Facing a winless Miami squad at home, our weekly projection pegs Cooper for roughly 3 receptions and 38 yards (8.3 fantasy points). He shapes up as an intriguing Flex option who brings explosive upside if target volume remains steady.
