Scouting report

Summary

Darren Waller carries a 78.0 dynasty score, ranking 37 at TE. He accumulated 283 receiving yards, 6 touchdowns, and 76.7 fantasy points in 14 games in 2025, a season where he was 33 years old and entering a contract year.

Projection Rationale

Waller’s 283 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns in 2025 suggest he remains a valuable asset. His Verdict production grade at the 74th percentile supports this assertion. However, his Verdict efficiency grade at the 45th percentile indicates room for improvement. With no guaranteed contract remaining, his role and production may be impacted in 2026 due to potential changes in his playing time.

Injury Risk

Waller suffered injuries in Weeks 18 and 13 of the 2025 season but managed to participate in practices throughout the year. His Verdict durability grade at the 62nd percentile indicates some risk, considering his 33-year-old age.

Opportunity Notes

Waller’s snap share trended down to 45.4% in 2025, indicating a potential decrease in his role. With no guaranteed contract remaining, his playing time may be affected in 2026.

Scheme Fit Analysis

This scheme contributed to his 24 targets and 283 receiving yards.

Trend Assessment

Declining. Waller’s snap share decreased to 45.4% in 2025, down from an unreported baseline, indicating a decline in his role.

Ceiling / Floor

Waller’s ceiling is TE1-TEmid, which he may reach if he maintains his 2025 production levels and remains healthy. His floor is TE5-TE6, considering his Verdict trade value and the potential for decreased playing time in 2026. Reference trade value for market context.
