After failing to surpass two targets since Week 4, Waller drew a team-high 10 looks from quarterback Bryce Young and finished 8/90/1. Denver's secondary seemed keen to focus on Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, so Waller terrorized them instead by running up the seam.

Waller's 10-target, 90-yard game shows upside but boom-bust nature limits waiver wire appeal.

Waller is a stud whose Week 9 success demonstrates his upside; after failing to surpass two targets since Week 4, he drew a team-high 10 looks from quarterback Bryce Young and finished 8/90/1. Denver's secondary seemed keen to focus on Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, so Waller terrorized them instead by running up the seam. However, the source notes his boom-or-bust tendencies make him hard to trust, so rather than treating him as a waiver wire target, fantasy managers should keep him at bye week replacement level.
