Darren Waller Announces His Retirement

Sunday, June 9, 5:18 PM

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller announced his retirement on Sunday. There was talk about this, so the news isn't surprising to many. The 2015 sixth-round pick spent his first two seasons in Baltimore before spending five seasons with Oakland/Las Vegas. It was with the Raiders where he made a name for himself, posting back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns and becoming widely known as one of the NFL's top tight ends. Unfortunately, Waller battled injuries over the years, and he finished his final season in the league with the Giants by amassing only 552 yards and a touchdown off 52 catches. But with Waller now out of the equation, Daniel Bellinger and rookie Theo Johnson are the favorites to fill the void at the position moving ahead, with both men likely battling throughout training camp for the right to sit atop the depth chart.

Hunter Henry Highly Productive In Week 7

Sunday, October 20, 6:45 PM

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught eight of nine targets for 92 yards during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. A switch seems to have been flipped for the veteran tight end ever since the Patriots replaced Jacoby Brissett with Drake Maye. Henry was off the fantasy radar with Brissett under center, but he has caught 11 passes for 133 yards and one touchdown through two games with Maye. His sudden rise to fantasy prominence is enough to justify deploying him as a low-end TE1 in Week 8 against the New York Jets.
