Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Darren Waller's fantasy outlook ahead of the 2021 season. There's little doubt that Waller deserves to be in the top-three TE conversation, and Ian believes that he might just be a better pick than George Kittle based on their respective volume, QB and team defense situations. People forget Waller absolutely balled the hell out at the end of 2020; good thing the Raiders largely didn't add any resources to the passing game so more volume should be on the way. A great real life story as well: draft Waller in fantasy leagues of all shapes and sizes in 2021.
