Ugly Week 3 for Darren Waller

Darren Waller Headshot

Giants TE Darren Waller mustered just three catches for 20 scoreless yards in Thursday night's loss to the 49ers. He led the team with seven targets for a 21.2% share. But Waller struggled creating separation against a strong 49ers defense and committed two bad drops, including one that ended up as a Talanoa Hufanga INT. The good news is that Waller won't face a tougher matchup than this the rest of the season. And he's drawn a 20.0% target share through three games. As long as that type of volume keeps coming, Waller remains a must-start.
