Heading into the first round of your fantasy football playoffs, it's crucial to stay informed about the injuries affecting key tight ends. In this article, we provide the latest updates on Darren Waller, Taysom Hill, and Dalton Schultz. Discover how their injuries could impact your Week 15 fantasy lineup and make informed decisions for your team.
Darren Waller Injury Update
Darren Waller has been dealing with a hamstring injury since Week 8, but there is hope that he will return for Week 15. Waller has been running routes and his hamstring is close to full strength again.
Before his injury, Waller had his best game of the season with seven catches, 98 yards, and a touchdown. Although he has struggled in his first season with the Giants, he remains one of the top talents at the tight end position.
If Waller is back in action for a favorable matchup against New Orleans, he should be considered a valuable asset in almost all fantasy formats. However, if he remains sidelined, Daniel Bellinger will continue to start in his place.
Taysom Hill Injury Update
Taysom Hill is dealing with foot and hand injuries that caused him to miss last week's game. Although he did not practice, there is a chance he could play in Week 15 if he can get on the practice field.
Hill has a high ceiling every week and would be a strong start against the Giants' weak run defense. However, if Hill is unable to play, Jamaal Williams would see more carries and Juwan Johnson would have an increased role at tight end.
Consider monitoring Hill's practice status throughout the week to make an informed decision for your fantasy lineup.
Dalton Schultz Injury Update
Dalton Schultz has been dealing with a hamstring injury and missed the last two games. Although he had a limited practice, he was downgraded and it remains uncertain if he will be able to play in Week 15 against Tennessee.
If Schultz is able to return, he would be a low-end starting option at tight end. However, if he remains sidelined, Brevin Jordan will continue to fill in and could provide some boom-or-bust appeal.
Keep an eye on Schultz's practice status throughout the week to make an informed decision for your fantasy lineup.
