Darren Waller Looks to Continue His Comeback vs. the Chargers

Saturday, October 11, 6:28 AM

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller has been extremely productive since returning from his hip injury two weeks ago, and he'll be a solid starting option in Week 6 against the Chargers. Waller retired and did not play last year, and was sidelined by a hip issue for the first three weeks of 2025. He returned in Week 4 with two touchdowns and 27 yards against the Jets, and he built on that last week by hauling in all five of his targets for 78 yards and a third touchdown. His snap count doubled from 16 in Week 4 to 32 in Week 5, and he was a key contributor even at just a 58% snap share. If that number grows again this week, he should continue to progress and remain one of the focuses of the Dolphins' offense, which is now operating without Tyreek Hill (knee), leaving targets available from Tua Tagovailoa. Tua has looked Waller's way often and had great success, so Waller is the TE8 this week in RotoBaller's rankings and can be a very solid starter in standard-sized leagues.

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson Questionable To Return

Sunday, October 12, 2:04 PM

The Arizona Cardinals announced wide receiver Michael Wilson (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Cards already are beaten up on offense, as the team is playing without running backs James Conner (foot), Trey Benson (knee), and quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) in the game. If Wilson is unable to return, Arizona likely will turn to Greg Dortch and Zay Jones to work behind top receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
