Around the NFL: Darren Waller

Darren Waller says he hasn’t decided if he will continue to play. The Giants previously have indicated they intend to have him back, but it’s reasonable to wonder if they might rethink that decision. If Waller isn’t even sure he wants to play, what is the likelihood that he’ll be willing to dig down and put in the work necessary to get back to being a difference maker?  more »

Giants TE Waller doesn’t practice on Wednesday

New York Giants tight end DARREN WALLER sat out Wednesday’s practice. Waller had a hamstring injury last week and head coach Brian Daboll said on Wednesday that Waller will have aMore rest day in practice each week. Fantasy owners can likely assume Wednesday was the rest day for Waller, but his status in the days ahead should be monitored. Waller and the Giants head to Arizona to face the Cardinals this Sunday, hoping for a better result than the season opening shutout suffered at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys. Less

Giants TE Waller raves about QB Jones

New York Giants quarterback DANIEL JONES and veteran tight end DARREN WALLER have only been teammates for a few short months, but the duo has already started to bond and developMore a notable chemistry. Jones and Waller have spent extra time working together, and Waller said on a recent podcast that “it’s been awesome…getting to work with him”.

Giants QB Jones impressed with new TE Waller

New York Giants quarterback DANIEL JONES raved recently about new tight end DARREN WALLER.

Fantasy News: Derek Carr

Putting together the rankings for Week 1, Derek Carr came in a little lower than I was expecting. Nice player, and with good weapons around him, but I’m not confident he’ll put up numbers that move the needle.  more »
