        Darren Waller Ready To Practice

        Dolphins TE Darren Waller has been activated from the PUP list, setting him up to make his practice debut with the team. Miami acquired Waller on July 1, but he's spent the first few weeks of training camp working back into shape after being out of football last year. We'll look for reports on the state of Waller's game and how he's fitting into the offense.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Waller turns 33 in a few weeks and was out of football last year. That combination makes him a long shot to be a major fantasy factor this season.

        That said, he remained effective when we saw him last in 2023. Among 44 TEs with 30+ targets that season, Waller ranked:

        • 11th in yards per route
        • 10th in Pro Football Focus receiving grade
        • 9th in ESPN Open Score

        Plus, we know there's opportunity in Miami considering the season TE Jonnu Smith just had.

        Waller isn't worth a pick in most fantasy drafts. But he'll be worth watching closely early this season. He could turn into a spot-start option.
