NFL: Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers
The Raiders placed Darren Waller (hamstring) on injured reserve.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Waller aggravated his hamstring injury in practice. Waller will miss at least the next four games.
Foster Moreau will be fringe TE1 end while Waller is out, including this week against the Colts. Moreau has played at least 96% of the Raiders snaps in games the latter has missed. The production (19 targets) has not translated into any fantasy success thus far. The 25-year-old has failed to finish better than the TE22 over that span.
There’s no sugarcoating this loss for fantasy owners. Waller for the second straight year has been one of fantasy’s biggest busts. The $51 millon tight end not played since Week 5.
