Who Should I Start? Darren Waller or Mike Williams

Friday, November 28, 7:26 PM

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) is questionable for the team's Week 13 contest against the Saints. He is still on IR and would need to be activated before Sunday's matchup, but coach Mike McDaniel said when asked about Waller, "He's in play... We'll see how he feels today, but if there's not a setback, I'm feeling optimistic." Waller has been sidelined since Week 7 with a pec injury, but in his three full games, he hauled in 10 of his 12 targets for 117 yards and four touchdowns. If he is able to get back in the action for the Dolphins' offense this week, he'll be in a favorable matchup against the struggling Saints. He would instantly be a solid starting TE option with a high ceiling, especially since he showed such a strong connection with Tua Tagovailoa in his limited work. If you need tight end help, he's a great stash coming into this week to see if he can come back healthy for the stretch run.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams, who was recently placed on the training-camp PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, is retiring from the NFL after eight seasons. The 30-year-old entered the NFL as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Chargers following a stellar career at Clemson. He spent the first seven seasons of his pro career with L.A. before playing for the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. Overall, Williams tallied 330 receptions for 5,104 yards and 32 touchdowns. He hangs up his cleats with two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume. Known as a big-play threat, his impact diminished later in his career as he aged and dealt with injury. While he was unlikely to be a significant factor for the Chargers this year, his departure gives Quentin Johnston more breathing room after a slow start to his NFL career.
