Who Should I Start? Darren Waller or Tyler Higbee

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.

Los Angeles Rams tight ends Tyler Higbee (hip) and Colby Parkinson (shoulder) are officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Both players had been listed as questionable, and Higbee's status in particular was uncertain after he missed practice on Friday. In the end, Higbee will suit up, looking to turn around what has been a disappointing start to the season. He has just four catches so far, and all of them came in a singular Week 2 game. Meanwhile, Parkinson has two catches and a lost fumble through two games. Neither tight end should be rostered in fantasy football.
