Panthers' Darren Waller: Back in end zone during loss
Waller brought in one of two targets for a 50-yard touchdown in the Panthers' 43-13 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Waller's one catch not only netted Bryce Young his only passing touchdown of the day, but it also generated team-high receiving yardage. The veteran tight end's splash play naturally was a boon for his fantasy managers, but Waller has seen just four targets over the last two games after opening the season with multiple catches in each of the first four contests. Waller will take a 14-198-3 line into a Week 8 road matchup against the Packers on Thursday.

Panthers' Darren Waller: Quiet in Week 6 win
Waller failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 25-14 win over the Eagles.
Waller dealt with a toe injury during the practice week and ended up playing behind both Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans in this one, as Tremble was the big producer in the box score, catching a pair of red-zone touchdowns. Waller is one of the many touchdown-or-bust fantasy options at the tight end position.

Panthers' Darren Waller: Good to go
Waller (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia.
Waller should be fine to handle his usual role after upgrading to full practice participation Friday. He was limited Wednesday and Thursday, coming out of a Week 5 bye.

Panthers' Darren Waller: Limited again Thursday
Waller (toe) remained limited at Thursday's practice.
Waller has registered back-to-back limited practice sessions coming out of Carolina's Week 5 bye. The veteran TE could avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles but ramping up his participation level to full Friday. Tommy Tremble (ribs) has also opened Week 6 prep with consecutive limited practices, but both Waller and Tremble seem likely to suit up Sunday, as neither has missed a game this season.

Panthers' Darren Waller: Tending to toe injury
Waller was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a toe injury.
Waller has been a regular part of the Panthers' passing game this season, sitting on a 13-148-2 line on 19 targets through four contests. Coming out of the team's Week 5 bye, though, both Waller and fellow TE Tommy Tremble (ribs, LP) are tending to injuries, leaving some question marks in the position group. Practices Thursday and Friday likely will determine if either of them enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia.

Panthers' Darren Waller: Held to three catches on SNF
Waller caught three of six targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 32-26 win over the Lions.
Waller finished second on the Panthers in targets and was one yard behind John Metchie for second on the team in receiving yards, but Tetairoa McMillan (14 catches for 192 yards and two TDs on 16 targets) was the clear No. 1 option in the passing game as the Panthers played without starting wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps). The Lions had given up a league-high six touchdowns to tight ends entering play Sunday, but Waller was unable to add to that total. Waller and the Panthers will be on bye in Week 5 before facing the Eagles in Week 6.

Panthers' Darren Waller: Continues producing in loss
Waller brought in five of eight targets for 51 yards in the Panthers' 21-18 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Waller continued to click frequently with Bryce Young, leading the Panthers in receptions and targets while finishing second in receiving yards with totals that all qualified as season highs. The veteran tight end has proven to be a seamless fit in head coach Dave Canales' offense, recording 10 receptions for 112 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets over the first three games. Waller should continue to fill a prominent role in a Week 4 home matchup against the high-powered Lions next Sunday night.

Panthers' Darren Waller: Two TD grabs in rout of Atlanta
Waller caught all three of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in the Panthers' 34-3 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Waller had a touchdown called back in Week 1 against the Bears on an offensive pass interference, but he made a pair of red-zone catches count in this one, scoring from seven and 12 yards. It's become evident that Carolina has big plans for Waller in the scoring area this season. He's not going to go for many yards most weeks, but he's always a candidate to get into the end zone. Waller gets a plus Week 3 draw against the Browns next Sunday.

Panthers' Darren Waller: Goes for 28 yards in Week 1
Waller secured both of his targets for 28 yards in the Panthers' 59-37 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Waller actually had a one-yard touchdown called back on a penalty on the Panthers' opening drive. Carolina used all three of Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans and Waller pretty heavily against Chicago, and both Tremble and Waller each ran 18 routes. Waller isn't going to be a full-time player, but it's clear he's going to be featured in the scoring area. He's a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet most weeks and gets a road date with the Falcons next Sunday.
