Should I drop Darren Waller? Drop him.

Yes. Darren Waller projects 6.7 PPR points a game the rest of the season, below a replacement TE, and his role is shrinking.

Target share
13% to 6%

Why

  • Darren Waller is TE24 on our rest of season ranking: 6.7 projected PPR points a game over his 11 games left through Week 17, 2.7 a game below a replacement TE (9.4).
  • Week 7: 6.4 projected PPR points (vs. TB), TE21 on this week's board. That defense allows the 8th most fantasy points to his position.
  • His target share fell to 6% in Week 6, from 13% in his games before it.
  • Across Sleeper leagues he was dropped 166,041 times in the busiest 24 hours we measured this week.

Rest of season figures are projected PPR points a game from Week 7 through Week 17, measured against a replacement level starter at his position. Shares compare his last game with his games before it.

Who to add instead

Add Michael Mayer (LV) instead, 7.9 projected PPR points a game rest of season. He drew 800,613 adds in his busiest 24 hours this waiver cycle.
