Who Should I Start? Darren Waller or Tucker Kraft

Sunday, September 28, 7:27 AM

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (hip) does not have an injury status for Monday Night Football against the Jets, setting him up for his first action of the season. The 33-year-old had a few huge years with the Raiders but has not played a game since the 2023 season. The Dolphins lured him out of retirement this year, but he hasn't been able to play due to a hip issue. It's very uncertain what he'll be ready to contribute on Monday Night Football against the Jets, who have been fairly good against tight ends this season. He is worth a stash from the waiver wire if you are desperate for a tight end solution. However, it seems unlikely that Waller will have a huge role right away. He's the TE37 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, so he isn't an option to play this week, even though he is worth watching to evaluate his future potential.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has recorded 11 catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets through three games so far in 2025. The third-year tight end could be well set up for success in Week 4, as he'll face a Dallas Cowboys' defense that has been one of the worst in the NFL this season. Dallas ranks last in the NFL in yards allowed per pass attempt (9.8) and has allowed the second-most passing touchdowns in the league (seven). Kraft is currently the lead target-earner on the Packers. If Green Bay does have success through the air on Sunday, it could mean a huge game for Kraft. He profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end in Week 4 against the Cowboys.
