Billy Jones advised scooping Darren Waller in the final round of slow drafts now that Underdog has added him to the player pool following reports Miami is kicking the tires. Waller was a top-five fantasy tight end when healthy (23 % target share during his peak with the Raiders) and would slide into an offense that just vacated Jonnu Smith’s 60-plus targets. Because closed contests have already locked rosters, Billy believes active slow drafters can grab a unique, virtually unowned player who could become Tua Tagovailoa’s red-zone weapon if the Dolphins sign him.

Holloway poured cold water on the idea that a 33-year-old Darren Waller, freshly un-retired, will replace Jonnu Smith’s production in Miami. He doubts Waller can handle anything close to the 20 % target share Smith vacated after a season and a half away from football and a decline in explosiveness the last time we saw him. Holloway expects Waller to serve as a red-zone specialist rather than a volume pass catcher, meaning Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Devon Achane should continue to dominate weekly target distribution. Fantasy managers are advised to leave Waller on waiver wires outside of tight-end premium leagues.
