Raiders TE Darren Waller continues to post monster numbers in breakout season

While the Oakland Raiders lost their fourth-straight game on Sunday, it wasn’t due to any fault of Darren Waller. The former Georgia Tech wide receiver continues to carry the team’s offense as he caught eight passes for 122 yards on just ten targets.

Waller is now just the second tight end in franchise history to surpass 1,000 receiving yards during a season. Tonight, the Raiders will find out if their stud tight end will make the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career.

The Raiders’ offense has come down to earth in the second half of the season, but that is no fault of Waller. He continues to be the team’s most reliable offensive weapon and is a building block for this team going forward. Waller’s development this season has been one of the biggest bright spots for this Raiders’ team.
