Who Should I Start? Darren Waller or Daniel Jones

Wednesday, October 22, 12:48 PM

The Miami Dolphins placed tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday due to the pectoral injury he suffered in the Week 7 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Waller will now be sidelined for at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Dolphins promoted tight end Greg Dulcich to the active 53-man roster. Waller won't be eligible to come off IR until after the team's Week 12 bye to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 13 on Sunday, Nov. 30. In the meantime, the 1-6 Dolphins will try to get by with Julian Hill, Tanner Conner, and Dulcich at the TE position. None of them are really worthwhile waiver targets in standard-sized fantasy leagues in the Dolphins' struggling offense. The 33-year-old Waller got a late start to the season after coming out of retirement, but he scored four touchdowns in his first three games before injuring his pec last Sunday.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones continued his solid start to the 2025 season in Week 7, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 288 yards and two touchdowns in his team's 38-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Jones has been consistently efficient through his first seven games with the Colts, recording 1,790 passing yards and 10 passing touchdowns while completing over 70% of his pass attempts. With Jones under center, Indianapolis has been one of the NFL's best offenses, scoring at least 31 points in five out of seven games. Based on what he has shown so far, Jones should be in the conversation as a starting fantasy quarterback on a week-to-week basis. He'll get a favorable matchup in Week 8, when the Colts host the Tennessee Titans.
