Dominant in Week 2 win Waller caught 12 of 16 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 34-24 win over the Saints.
Impact Waller tormented New Orleans all night, as Las Vegas took full advantage of the mismatches he created in different parts of the field. He repeatedly helped the Raiders move the sticks, coming close to a career high in receptions. In the end, Waller comfortably led his team in all major receiving categories, with his one-yard touchdown grab on fourth down marking a key play in the second half. After such a dominating display, Waller will hope to keep his momentum going Week 3 against the Patriots.

Las Vegas Raiders second-year running back Josh Jacobs has taken his offseason assignment of becoming a better receiver seriouslySEPTEMBER 17, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Commands eight targets Waller hauled in six receptions on eight targets for a total of 45 yards in Week 1 against the Panthers.
Impact Waller led the team in targets with eight, but failed to convert that into production. His longest reception of the day went for just eight yards, and he averaged only 4.6 yards per target. Still, Waller remained the top option for Derek Carr, even with the addition of several young targets such as Henry Ruggs and Bryan Edwards. That bodes well for better results in future weeks, including Week 2 against the Saints.

Consistently beating defenders Waller has looked good in training camp, with Raiders defenders consistently struggling to cover him one-on-one, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Impact Waller avoided any setbacks with the thumb injury that required surgery in late December. He'll have more competition for targets after the Raiders signed Jason Witten and drafted Henry Ruggs and Bryan Edwards, but it's still Waller who has the best odds to lead the team in pass-catching volume. Even if he doesn't quite match the 117 targets he saw during his breakout 2019 campaign, Waller should be a reliable fantasy starter at tight end.
