News

  • Big day in loss to Chiefs

    Waller caught seven of nine targets for 100 yards in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: The tight end led the Raiders in catches, targets and yards, en route to his third 100-yard performance of the season. Waller has struggled to reach the end zone -- he hasn't scored a TD since Week 8 and had to watch Derek Carrier haul in Oakland's only score Sunday -- but otherwise, he's having a remarkable breakout campaign. Waller will look to post big numbers again in Week 14 against a Titans defense that just let Jack Doyle go off for a 6-73-1 line.

  • Tops 40 yards in blowout loss

    Waller caught three of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: The entire Raiders team laid an egg in this one, but at least Waller was able to eclipse 40 yards for the ninth time in 11 games. While the yardage has been there, the tight end remains stuck on three touchdowns this season, all of which were scored in a two-game stretch spanning Week 7 and Week 8. Waller should be more involved against the division-leading Chiefs in Week 13.

  • Records 78 receiving yards

    Waller caught five of seven targets for 78 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Waller led the team in targets while finishing with a solid 15.6 yards per reception. He ripped off a long gain of 32 yards, and although he was held mostly to shorter gains on the rest of his grabs, he finished with his highest receiving output since Week 7. Although Waller hasn't reached the end zone in the last three games, he could still have opportunities to produce next Sunday against the Jets.

  • Modest production yet again

    Waller secured three of five targets for 40 yards in the Raiders' 26-24 win over the Chargers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Waller checked in tied for second in receptions and was third in receiving yards for the Raiders on the night, but it was still a disappointing performance when measured against the standard Waller set earlier in the season. After notching at least 63 receiving yards in four of the first six games of the season, Waller hasn't cleared three catches or 52 receiving yards in any of his last three games. He figures to remain one of Derek Carr's top targets, however, and he'll look to bounce back…read more

  • Held in check vs. Lions

    Waller caught both his targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Waller turned both balls thrown his way into sizable gains, but the Detroit defense paid extra attention to him and limited his opportunities. He was still involved in the red zone and was in the vicinity on Hunter Renfrow's late touchdown grab, though his teammate beat him to the ball. While Waller remains a big part of the offense, he's quietly been held under 55 receiving yards in four of the last five games while catching four passes or fewer in three of those. He'll look to get back on…read more

  • Salvages day with touchdown grab

    Waller caught two of eight targets for 11 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-26 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Waller received lots of attention from the Houston defense on the day, as he hauled in just a quarter of the passes sent his way. Luckily, one of his two grabs produced an eight-yard touchdown, which salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective. Although Waller hadn't reached the end zone prior to last week, he's scored three times in his last two games to add another dimension to his fantasy utility. He'll look to continue his breakout campaign next Sunday at home against the Lions.

  • Finally finds the end zone

    Waller caught seven of eight targets for 126 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 42-24 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: The targets, catches, and yards have -- for the most part -- been there the entire season for the athletic young tight end. Fans had been waiting for more than five games to see Waller find paydirt, however, and he finally delivered midway through the third quarter with a seven-yard jumping grab in the back of the end zone. He followed up with a 17-yard touchdown from Mike Glennon toward the end of the game. Waller has caught at least six passes in five of six games and has gone over 120 yards…read more

  • Cleared to play this week

    Waller (foot) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers after practicing fully Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Waller was added to the Raiders' Week 7 injury report after being limited at practice Thursday, but he'll be a go Sunday, which is good news for the team's passing attack, given that top wideout Tyrell Williams (foot) will remained sidelined this weekend. Five games into his 2019 season, Waller has racked up 37 catches (on 42 targets) for 359 yards, numbers that make him a startable fantasy tight end and also recently earned him a multi-year contract extension with the Raiders, worth about $9…read more

  • Listed as limited Thursday

    Waller (foot) was limited at practice Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The tight end -- who recently signed a multi-year contract extension with the Raiders -- practiced fully Wednesday, so his limitations Thursday are worth noting. We'll revisit his status no later than Friday, but so far there's been nothing to suggest that Waller's status for Sunday's game against the Packers is in peril.

  • Snags three-year extension

    Waller and the Raiders agreed on an extension that is expected to keep him under contract through the 2023 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Per Pelissero, the deal is expected to be worth around $9 million per season after his would-be restricted free agent year following the 2019 season. Waller has made a remarkable journey back from a battle with addiction and was originally signed off the Ravens' practice squad last November by the Raiders. The 27-year-old has established himself as a go-to guy for the Silver and Black this season, catching 37 of 42 targets for 359 yards through five games. More specifics surrounding the deal…read more

  • Has season-worst outing

    Waller caught four of five targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 24-21 in over Chicago.

    Analysis: Waller figured to be the Raiders' top target with Tyrell Williams (foot) and J.J. Nelson (knee) on the shelf. Evidently, Chicago thought the same thing, as Waller was bottled up while his backup, Foster Moreau, led the team in receiving. After the Raiders' bye week, Waller has a difficult matchup Week 7 against the Packers. If Williams and Nelson are unavailable, Green Bay likely will have all eyes on Waller.

  • Even more targets than usual?

    Waller is a candidate for extra targets in Sunday's Week 5 tilt against the Bears in London with wideouts Tyrell Williams (foot), J.J. Nelson (knee) and Dwayne Harris (ankle) all declared inactive for the contest.

    Analysis: The breakout tight end has seen no fewer than seven targets in any contest, and given the multiple absences and the relative inexperience of the receivers set to step up, Waller could be closer to the season-high 14 looks he saw Week 3 against the Vikings. The one damper on the possible increased opportunity naturally is a Bears defense that's allowed an average of just 50 receiving yards per game to tight ends this season.

  • Grabs seven passes

    Waller caught seven of eight passes for 53 yards during Sunday's 31-24 win over Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Waller was held to a season-low 53 yards Sunday as the Colts did well with their zone-heavy scheme of keeping the athletic tight end in front of them. That didn't stop him from snagging at least a half-dozen passes for the fourth consecutive game. Waller leads Oakland in catches, targets, and yards, but it's fair to wonder where the touchdowns are for a big-bodied target averaging over eight catches per game. Pay dirt has to be coming eventually, but the Bears will be a tough team to do it…read more

  • Even more opportunity on tap?

    Waller could be in line for another significant target share in a Week 4 tilt against the Colts with wideouts J.J. Nelson (coach's decision) and Dwayne Harris (ankle) declared inactive for the contest.

    Analysis: It would be difficult for Waller to top the 14 targets he saw Week 3 against the Vikings, but the pair of absences in the wideout corps at least up the chances he reaches double-digit looks once again. Waller has arguably functioned as a 1-A receiver in the Raiders offense through the first three games anyhow, having brought in an impressive 26 of 29 targets for 267 yards. He'll also be drawing a favorable matchup Sunday, considering the Colts have allowed an 18-181-2 line to tight ends over…read more

  • Colossal Week 3 production

    Waller corralled 13 of his 14 targets, amassing 134 receiving yards during Sunday's 34-14 loss to Minnesota. He also registered one carry, logging a seven-yard gain on the play.

    Analysis: Waller looks like he may just be your prototypical "league winner," emerging from a late-round average draft position to become an elite fantasy producer over the course of the season. The 255-pound tight end has been targeted at least seven times in three straight games to start off the season, while providing an absurdly efficient catch rate of 89.7 percent. He also has offered a high floor with no fewer than 63 receiving yards in any game thus far in 2019. Look for Waller to keep things…read more

  • Another solid outing

    Waller caught six of seven targets for a team-high 63 yards in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: The tight end was productive once again, although the Raiders' passing game as a whole took a step backwards from Week 1. Waller already has new career highs in catches (13) and receiving yards (133) on the season, and he appears to be Derek Carr's No. 2 option behind Tyrell Williams -- a role that should make him a valuable fantasy asset the rest of the way.

  • Extremely encouraging season debut

    Waller caught seven of eight targets, accounting for 70 receiving yards during Monday night's 24-16 win against the Broncos.

    Analysis: After leading the team in targets in the season opener, Waller is the no-longer-secret secret weapon for an Oakland offense aiming to improve upon an 18th-place finish in passing yards per game. The 6-foot-6 Waller possesses elite athleticism for his position, with a 4.46-second 40-yard dash time and 4.25-second shuttle time recorded at his 2015 NFL Combine appearance. Existing within a Raiders offense that suddenly has targets up for grabs after the release of Antonio Brown on Saturday, Waller…read more

  • Possible increase in role?

    Waller could be a candidate to receive more targets after the Raiders released Antonio Brown on Saturday.

    Analysis: Tyrell Williams, Hunter Renfrow and even J.J. Nelson are the more obvious names who stand to benefit from Brown's release, but Waller's already fast-rising fantasy value could skyrocket up further with Saturday's not-so-shocking announcement. The tight end was already turning heads throughout training camp, and benefited nationally from extra coverage throughout HBO's Hard Knocks, but a lack of obvious pass catchers in Oakland almost solidifies Waller's value as a low-floor, high-ceiling…read more

  • Gets starting nod

    Waller (shoulder) got the start and caught one of two targets for seven yards in Thursday's preseason win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Oakland's first snap featured two tight ends and a fullback, with Waller, Foster Moreau and Alec Ingold joining halfback Josh Jacobs and wideout Tyrell Williams. Starting quarterback Derek Carr only threw two passes -- one to Williams and one to fellow wideout Ryan Grant. Despite the modest performance, Waller still appears on track for the top pass-catching role at tight end, if for no other reason than a lack of competition. He's listed in the top spot on Oakland's preseason depth chart,…read more

  • Making progress

    Waller was as "active [in Tuesday's practice] as he has been since suffering his shoulder sprain" earlier this month, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: The status of top wideout Antonio Brown has been capturing headlines out of Oakland's training camp of late, but Waller is nonetheless a player to monitor. The 26-year-old logged just six catches for 75 yards in four games for the Raiders last season, but with Jared Cook no longer in the mix, there's a clear opportunity for the athletic Waller -- who tops the team's depth chart at tight end -- to see an uptick in targets in 2019. It's a scenario that has landed the 6-foot-6 Waller firmly in the…read more

    Waller (shoulder) took part in individual drills Tuesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The report adds that the Raiders plan to hold Waller out of intrasquad practices with Rams. On the plus side, however, Eddie Paskal of the team's official site notes that Waller -- who is listed as the Raiders' top tight end on their posted depth chart -- has been "one of the team's most reliable playmakers" in training camp. The 26-year-old was limited to six catches in four games with Oakland last season, but with Jared Cook no longer in the mix, there's an opportunity for the athletic Waller…read more

  • Injury subsides

    Waller (shoulder) was able to suit up for Sunday's practice, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Waller evidently suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder during Saturday's practice, but as evidenced by this news he wasn't sidelined him for very long. The 26-year-old has been getting regular first-team work as the primary receiving tight end in the Oakland offense this offseason, and now that he's back healthy he should continue to do so.

  • Injures shoulder

    Waller left Saturday's practice with a shoulder injury, Michael Gelhken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Analysis: Waller evidently suffered an AC joint sprain, but it's not expected to keep the converted wide receiver off the field for very long. The 26-year-old has made a positive impression on the coaching staff during the early portions of training camp, acting as the starting tight end ahead of Luke Willson and Derek Carrier.

  • Getting first-team work

    Waller is getting regular first-team work as the primary receiving tight end in the Oakland offense, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Coach Jon Gruden and general manager Mike Mayock both talked up Waller earlier this spring, noting that the 26-year-old would have a big opportunity after Jared Cook left for New Orleans. A converted college wideout, Waller ran a 4.46-second 40-yard dash at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine, but he caught just 12 passes in 18 games for the Ravens after they selected him in the sixth round. He then latched on with Oakland last season and had six receptions for 75 yards over the final three weeks.…read more

  • Has big opportunity ahead

    General manager Mike Mayock hopes Waller can become the Raiders' top receiving threat at tight end, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: There was buzz about the Raiders using an early draft pick on a tight end, but they instead waited until the fourth round to select Foster Moreau, who caught 52 passes in 49 games at LSU. The rookie figures to compete with Lee Smith and Derek Carrier (concussion) for inline blocking snaps, while Waller and Luke Willson (concussion) will battle for the pass-catching role. None of the bunch is likely to come anywhere near Jared Cook's 2018 production, but there's at least a hint of upside with…read more

  • Gets opportunity sans Cook

    Coach Jon Gruden said Waller has the "chance of a lifetime" with Jared Cook leaving for New Orleans, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Analysis: Waller won't enter training camp atop the Oakland depth chart, but the guys he's behind -- Lee Smith and Derek Carrier (concussion) -- are noted for blocking far more than pass catching. Waller, on the other hand, is a converted college wide receiver who ran a 4.46 40-yard dash at the 2015 combine before Baltimore selected him in the sixth round. He only has 18 receptions in 22 NFL appearances, but raw athleticism and special teams experience should at least get his foot in the door. Of course,…read more

  • Three catches in season finale

    Waller hauled in all three of his targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 35-3 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Waller logged a season-high 15 offensive snaps during the Raiders' season finale behind starter Jared Cook, as the former totaled 75 yards on six catches in four contests with the silver and black in 2018. Waller would be inexpensive to keep on the roster in 2019, though he'll likely need to earn his spot with the Raiders expected to make an effort to re-sign Cook.

  • Hauls in two passes

    Waller notched two receptions for eight yards Monday in the Raiders' 27-14 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: One of five tight ends on the roster, Waller appears to have emerged as the Raiders' No. 2 pass-catching option at the position behind Jared Cook. A wide receiver during his college days at Georgia Tech, Waller showcased his athleticism with a 44-yard catch and run in Week 15 in Cincinnati, but he wasn't quite as productive Monday with the Raiders opting for a run-heavy game plan.

  • Totals 65 yards in loss

    Waller caught his lone target for 44 yards and rushed for 21 yards on one carry during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Waller racked up 65 total yards in just nine offensive snaps during what was only his second contest with the Raiders this season, having been signed in late November. The tight end's role in the offense figures to remain limited, however, as both Derek Carrier and Lee Smith were dealt at least seven snaps each behind starter Jared Cook.

  • Signs with Oakland

    Waller signed a contract with the Raiders on Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Waller is expected to receive an opportunity to play at some point this season, but he's unlikely to see a notable offensive workload behind top TE Jared Cook. A 2015 sixth-round pick, Waller was suspended for the entire 2017 season and will attempt to get his career back on track in Oakland. The 6-foot-5, 255-pound converted wideout could be an intriguing option for a Raiders team looking toward the future.
