New York Giants tight end Darren Waller caught all three of his targets for just 21 yards in the team's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football. Two of Waller's receptions came on the second-to-last drive for Big Blue. The Giants' offense, once again, sputtered in the primetime lights. Quarterback Daniel Jones was sacked 11 times, threw two interceptions, and lost a fumble. It's getting harder for fantasy managers to trust Waller. However, given the state of the tight end position, there aren't many high-upside options on waiver wires better than the ex-Raider. Waller and the Giants will try and kickstart their offense in Miami in Week 5.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught just two of three targets for 24 yards in the team's 21-13 win over the Panthers. Hockenson was outpaced by Justin Jefferson in targets once again, but it proved to be detrimental in this one as Kirk Cousins attempted just 19 passes. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about his lack of production in this one, as the Vikings figure to continue being one of the more pass-heavy offenses despite what was on display in Week 4. Hockenson should be treated as an elite TE1 option in Week 5 in what should be a high-scoring affair with the Chiefs.
