Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation for Monday's Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets. Finally, Waller is ready to make his season debut after missing the first three games due to a hip issue. This marks the first time that Waller has played in a game since the 2023 season. That being said, fantasy managers can't be certain what they're going to get from the 33-year-old. Waller could be worth a stash for tight end needy fantasy managers. However, it's unlikely that Waller is going to have a huge role in the offense during his first game.

Faced with another solid opportunity for production, Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson is a low-end TE1 candidate against the Cincinnati Bengals, though fantasy managers could certainly be forgiven for being leery about his potential following two straight duds. The veteran tight end is facing a plus matchup for tight ends against the Bengals' defense, but is also coming into the game with four catches, 27 total yards, and zero red-zone targets in two games. Most concerning, the Vikings will be without starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) and could be starting three offensive linemen -- from left tackle to center -- with a combined two NFL starts. It's clear the Vikings are going to have to be more creative offensively in the following weeks, however, and that should mean more involvement for Hockenson.
