Who Should I Start? Darren Waller or Sam LaPorta

Friday, September 29, 10:03 AM

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller has endured a rocky start to his tenure with the G-Men. In two of the three contests this season, the veteran has only secured three catches. Those games resulted in blowout losses. In the Giants' lone win, Waller put together a respectable stat line of six catches for 76 yards. It appears that the Pro Bowler goes as the rest of the Giants' offense goes. This game projects to be a closer contest and Seattle has a shaky secondary. Waller should get ample opportunities to make plays for this struggling offense. He's ranked as a top-5 option at the tight end position for Week 4.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught four of his five targets for 56 yards in the Thursday Night Football win over the Green Bay Packers. It wasn't a massive boom performance for the rookie tight end, but it should keep fantasy managers in PPR leagues afloat ahead of the full Week 4 slate. LaPorta has seen at least five targets in all of his contests, which is more than can be said about a large chunk of the available tight ends on the waiver wire. He is a must-start in all matchups after being the fantasy TE2 through the first three weeks of the season.
