Darren Waller injury update, Week 10 fantasy outlook

Waller (hamstring) was inactive for last week’s game against Jaguars and has not played since Week 5 when he initially suffered the lower body injury. He practiced on a limited basis two weeks in a row, but he can’t quite get over the hump.

He’ll remain “questionable” to be back in action this week against the Colts’ defense, which has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to TEs this season. If Waller cannot play, Foster Moreau steps back into the TE1 role for the Raiders’ offense and is a streamer option for Week 10. Last week against the Jaguars, Moreau had two receptions (five targets) for 42 yards.

David Njoku injury update, Week 10 fantasy outlook

Njoku (ankle) told reporters on Monday he’s hopeful he can play Sunday against the Dolphins, according to beat writer Scott Petrak.

The last time we saw Njoku on the field was in Week 7 against the Ravens when he had seven receptions (seven targets) for 71 yards. If the vet tight end can make it through practice this week without any issues, he should be viewed as a TE1 in Week 10. Njoku has a great matchup against a Dolphins’ defense that has given up the fourth-most fantasy points per game to TEs (12.8) this season. However, if he doesn’t play, look out for Harrison Bryant to step in and be one of the top streaming candidates at TE.
