Darren Waller at New Orleans: Rising Usage in a High-Scoring Matchup

Waller enters Week 10 healthy after breaking out against Denver with 90 yards and an acrobatic touchdown. Although listed behind Tommy Tremble on the depth chart, Waller's sharply rising roster and start percentages point to a growing role as a trusted receiving option for Bryce Young.

Our weekly projection lands at 8.8 points on roughly three catches for 38 yards, though his red-zone presence keeps touchdown upside firmly in play. Facing New Orleans indoors in a game expected to be high-scoring between two evenly matched division foes, Waller makes for an appealing streaming tight end.

Outlook Jordan Watkins

Jordan Watkins at Dallas: High-Scoring Road Test for Emerging Receiver

Coming off a breakout 86-yard performance with his first career touchdown on downfield looks from Brock Purdy, Jordan Watkins is gaining momentum in San Francisco. With Mike Evans sidelined, Watkins continues rotating in behind Keenan Allen and Deebo Samuel Sr., while George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey command primary volume for the 7-1 49ers.

Despite rising waiver interest this week, he is barely being started in fantasy leagues, and our projection sits at a modest 4.5 PPR points on roughly two targets. Even in a projected high-scoring road game against the Cowboys, Watkins profiles as a volatile bench option best reserved for deep-league lineups.
