Extremely encouraging season debut
Waller caught seven of eight targets, accounting for 70 receiving yards during Monday night's 24-16 win against the Broncos.
Analysis: After leading the team in targets in the season opener, Waller is the no-longer-secret secret weapon for an Oakland offense aiming to improve upon an 18th-place finish in passing yards per game. The 6-foot-6 Waller possesses elite athleticism for his position, with a 4.46-second 40-yard dash time and 4.25-second shuttle time recorded at his 2015 NFL Combine appearance. Existing within a Raiders offense that suddenly has targets up for grabs after the release of Antonio Brown on Saturday, Waller…read more

Possible increase in role?
Waller could be a candidate to receive more targets after the Raiders released Antonio Brown on Saturday.
Analysis: Tyrell Williams, Hunter Renfrow and even J.J. Nelson are the more obvious names who stand to benefit from Brown's release, but Waller's already fast-rising fantasy value could skyrocket up further with Saturday's not-so-shocking announcement. The tight end was already turning heads throughout training camp, and benefited nationally from extra coverage throughout HBO's Hard Knocks, but a lack of obvious pass catchers in Oakland almost solidifies Waller's value as a low-floor, high-ceiling…read more

Gets starting nod
Waller (shoulder) got the start and caught one of two targets for seven yards in Thursday's preseason win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Oakland's first snap featured two tight ends and a fullback, with Waller, Foster Moreau and Alec Ingold joining halfback Josh Jacobs and wideout Tyrell Williams. Starting quarterback Derek Carr only threw two passes -- one to Williams and one to fellow wideout Ryan Grant. Despite the modest performance, Waller still appears on track for the top pass-catching role at tight end, if for no other reason than a lack of competition. He's listed in the top spot on Oakland's preseason depth chart,…read more

Making progress
Waller was as "active [in Tuesday's practice] as he has been since suffering his shoulder sprain" earlier this month, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The status of top wideout Antonio Brown has been capturing headlines out of Oakland's training camp of late, but Waller is nonetheless a player to monitor. The 26-year-old logged just six catches for 75 yards in four games for the Raiders last season, but with Jared Cook no longer in the mix, there's a clear opportunity for the athletic Waller -- who tops the team's depth chart at tight end -- to see an uptick in targets in 2019. It's a scenario that has landed the 6-foot-6 Waller firmly in the…read more

Takes part in individual drills
Waller (shoulder) took part in individual drills Tuesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The report adds that the Raiders plan to hold Waller out of intrasquad practices with Rams. On the plus side, however, Eddie Paskal of the team's official site notes that Waller -- who is listed as the Raiders' top tight end on their posted depth chart -- has been "one of the team's most reliable playmakers" in training camp. The 26-year-old was limited to six catches in four games with Oakland last season, but with Jared Cook no longer in the mix, there's an opportunity for the athletic Waller…read more

Injury subsides
Waller (shoulder) was able to suit up for Sunday's practice, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Waller evidently suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder during Saturday's practice, but as evidenced by this news he wasn't sidelined him for very long. The 26-year-old has been getting regular first-team work as the primary receiving tight end in the Oakland offense this offseason, and now that he's back healthy he should continue to do so.

Injures shoulder
Waller left Saturday's practice with a shoulder injury, Michael Gelhken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Waller evidently suffered an AC joint sprain, but it's not expected to keep the converted wide receiver off the field for very long. The 26-year-old has made a positive impression on the coaching staff during the early portions of training camp, acting as the starting tight end ahead of Luke Willson and Derek Carrier.

Getting first-team work
Waller is getting regular first-team work as the primary receiving tight end in the Oakland offense, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Coach Jon Gruden and general manager Mike Mayock both talked up Waller earlier this spring, noting that the 26-year-old would have a big opportunity after Jared Cook left for New Orleans. A converted college wideout, Waller ran a 4.46-second 40-yard dash at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine, but he caught just 12 passes in 18 games for the Ravens after they selected him in the sixth round. He then latched on with Oakland last season and had six receptions for 75 yards over the final three weeks.…read more

Has big opportunity ahead
General manager Mike Mayock hopes Waller can become the Raiders' top receiving threat at tight end, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: There was buzz about the Raiders using an early draft pick on a tight end, but they instead waited until the fourth round to select Foster Moreau, who caught 52 passes in 49 games at LSU. The rookie figures to compete with Lee Smith and Derek Carrier (concussion) for inline blocking snaps, while Waller and Luke Willson (concussion) will battle for the pass-catching role. None of the bunch is likely to come anywhere near Jared Cook's 2018 production, but there's at least a hint of upside with…read more

Gets opportunity sans Cook
Coach Jon Gruden said Waller has the "chance of a lifetime" with Jared Cook leaving for New Orleans, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Waller won't enter training camp atop the Oakland depth chart, but the guys he's behind -- Lee Smith and Derek Carrier (concussion) -- are noted for blocking far more than pass catching. Waller, on the other hand, is a converted college wide receiver who ran a 4.46 40-yard dash at the 2015 combine before Baltimore selected him in the sixth round. He only has 18 receptions in 22 NFL appearances, but raw athleticism and special teams experience should at least get his foot in the door. Of course,…read more

Three catches in season finale
Waller hauled in all three of his targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 35-3 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Waller logged a season-high 15 offensive snaps during the Raiders' season finale behind starter Jared Cook, as the former totaled 75 yards on six catches in four contests with the silver and black in 2018. Waller would be inexpensive to keep on the roster in 2019, though he'll likely need to earn his spot with the Raiders expected to make an effort to re-sign Cook.

Hauls in two passes
Waller notched two receptions for eight yards Monday in the Raiders' 27-14 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: One of five tight ends on the roster, Waller appears to have emerged as the Raiders' No. 2 pass-catching option at the position behind Jared Cook. A wide receiver during his college days at Georgia Tech, Waller showcased his athleticism with a 44-yard catch and run in Week 15 in Cincinnati, but he wasn't quite as productive Monday with the Raiders opting for a run-heavy game plan.

Totals 65 yards in loss
Waller caught his lone target for 44 yards and rushed for 21 yards on one carry during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Waller racked up 65 total yards in just nine offensive snaps during what was only his second contest with the Raiders this season, having been signed in late November. The tight end's role in the offense figures to remain limited, however, as both Derek Carrier and Lee Smith were dealt at least seven snaps each behind starter Jared Cook.

Signs with Oakland
Waller signed a contract with the Raiders on Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Waller is expected to receive an opportunity to play at some point this season, but he's unlikely to see a notable offensive workload behind top TE Jared Cook. A 2015 sixth-round pick, Waller was suspended for the entire 2017 season and will attempt to get his career back on track in Oakland. The 6-foot-5, 255-pound converted wideout could be an intriguing option for a Raiders team looking toward the future.
