Five catches in Week 5 upset Waller brought in five of seven targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 40-32 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Impact Waller led the Raiders in receptions and targets, and his five-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter began a comeback from a 21-10 deficit. Waller has just two scores on the campaign, but he's already boasting a 34-295 line on 47 targets through five games. The veteran tight end will look to continue surging in Week 7 against the Buccaneers following a Week 6 bye.

Avoids Week 5 injury designation Waller (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Impact Despite having his reps capped in practice all week due to the knee issue, Waller showed enough in his limited session for the Raiders to clear him for the Week 5 divisional matchup. The tight end already has two double-digit target games under his belt this season and should remain Las Vegas' top option in the passing game Sunday, even with rookie wideout Henry Ruggs (knee/hamstring) potentially returning from a two-game absence.

Another limited practice Waller (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact We haven't heard anything to suggest that the Raiders' pass-catching leader is in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Chiefs, with Friday's final injury report destined to reveal if Waller heads into the weekend listed as questionable, or minus a Week 5 injury designation.

Listed as limited at practice Waller (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practiceVic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Impact Waller logged 70 0f 74 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills, en route to hauling in nine of his 12 targets for 88 yards. With no reported setbacks in that contest, we'll operate under the assumption that Waller's limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related.

Penalties, turnovers contributing to Raiders' losses
Sloppy plays and miscues have sent the Las Vegas Raiders to two straight lossesOCTOBER 5, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nine grabs in loss to Bills Waller caught nine of 12 targets for 88 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.
Impact He was once again Derek Carr's favorite target, and no other Raider caught more than five passes on the afternoon. Waller appears over the knee issue that may have hampered him last week, and the tight end could see high volume in Week 5 against a Kansas City defense that's allowed two touchdowns to TEs through its first three games.

Non-factor in Week 3 loss Waller (knee) caught two of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots.
Impact While Waller was able to suit up, he seemed to be operating at far less than 100 percent after catching 18 balls over Las Vegas' first two games. If the tight end can get healthier, he should be more involved in Week 4 against the Bills.

Listed as active Sunday Waller (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Impact Waller missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, before returning to a limited session Friday, but assuming no in-game issues, look for the tight end -- who logged a 12/105/1 stat line while being targeted 16 times in this past Monday's win over the Saints -- to continue to be a focal point of the Raiders' offense in Week 3.
