Trends

"Waller ended his one-year retirement and was traded to the Dolphins in July. Once a fantasy star, Waller produced back-to-back top-3 fantasy campaigns during the 2019-20 seasons and was top 10 on a per-game basis the following two years. Of course, he just sat out an entire season, is set to turn 33 years old this fall, hasn't played more than 12 games in a season since 2020 and hasn't averaged double-digit fantasy points in a season since 2021. On the plus side, he has an easy path to snaps and targets and will be working in an offense that faces a ton of two-high looks and allowed Jonnu Smith to produce high-end TE1 numbers for most of 2024. Waller is worthy of late-round flier."

"Waller curiously took a back seat to Greg Dulcich in Week 17, who secured five of six targets for 58 yards and one touchdown. The share of offensive snaps handled by Waller (38 percent) and Dulcich (36 percent) was essentially even, while blocking specialist Julian Hill (60 percent) also caught one of his two targets for 16 yards. Waller stands to continue splitting pass-catching opportunities at the TE position with Dulcich when the Dolphins close out the regular season at New England in Week 18."

I. Player News & Analysis

ESPN	RotoWire	Trends
"..."	"The 23-year-old finished his 2024 campaign on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury, but his participation in Wednesday's practice suggests he's moved past the issue. Rice appeared in three games during his rookie season, failing to tally any stats across 13 total snaps. Now fully healthy, Rice is expected to compete for a depth role in Los Angeles' wide receiver corps throughout the summer."
