Waller had four receptions (seven targets) for 24 yards in Sunday's 41-14 loss to Kansas City.
This was Waller's worst fantasy performance through eight starts this season. The Chiefs were clearly shading extra coverage the tight end's way, especially once the game script forced the Raiders to become one-dimensional. The recent addition of vertical threat DeSean Jackson (one catch for 38 yards) could help take the pressure off of Waller as the veteran gets more integrated into the offensive gameplan. Next Sunday's opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, currently allow the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends.
