What It Means:

Waller hasn't practiced since last month, but his injury is not believed to be serious and the tight end indicated that he expects to be back next week. There doesn't appear to be any no concern about Waller's availability for Week 1 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Waller may lose some volume after the Raiders added Davante Adams to the offense, but he should benefit from the additional attention that Adams will draw.

numberFire's models expect Waller to register a 20.0% target share in 2022, compared to a 24.2% share last season. He is still the TE3 in our rankings and projected for 121.4 targets, 78.8 catches, 966.1 yards, and 5.54 touchdowns.
