Outlook Darren Waller
Darren Waller at Green Bay — Touchdown-dependent streaming option on Thursday night
Waller operates as the secondary tight end behind Tommy Tremble, though he flashed his lingering big-play ability with a 50-yard touchdown reception last week against Tampa Bay. Target volume remains sparse, having drawn only four looks across his last two contests while Carolina's offense navigates multiple offensive line injuries, including tackle Taylor Moton.
Our projections forecast Waller for approximately 2.3 catches, 26 yards, and 6.3 fantasy points. Given his single-digit start rate and low target floor in a run-balanced attack, the veteran tight end profiles as a risky, touchdown-or-bust streamer for deep leagues rather than a trustworthy fantasy starter at Lambeau Field.

Ja'Kobi Lane at BUF — Rookie Wideout Brings Upside in High-Scoring Matchup
After returning from a fractured wrist, Ja'Kobi Lane has immediately carved out a perimeter role, earning five targets in each of his past two games. With Lamar Jackson logging full practices and ready to lead the offense, the rookie wideout should see consistent opportunities on third downs and near the end zone.
Rostered in 28% of fantasy leagues, Lane is an intriguing deep-league play or upside Flex candidate in a matchup featuring a slate-high 54.5-point total against Buffalo. Our weekly projections expect roughly four receptions for 36 yards (around 8.1 fantasy points), with room for a spike week if game flow demands heavy passing.
