A week after Raiders TE Foster Moreau spent more snaps on the field than TE Darren Waller, he again checked in at 50% snap share for Sunday's loss to the Titans. The pair also finished with a matching 5 targets and 3 catches. But the Tennessee game actually marked Waller's best route-participation rate of the young season. He went from running a route on 81.8% of Derek Carr dropbacks in Week 1 to just 61% in Week 2, but then 87.5% against the Titans. Las Vegas missed WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) for that game. We'll see which TE is affected more by Renfrow's return.
Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. We’ll see if he can get cleared for Week 4. Renfrow’s absence will leave Tyron Johnson and Keelan Cole as Vegas’ #3 and #4 WRs behind Davante Adams and Mack Hollins. Adams and TE Darren Waller should dominate Raiders targets this weekend.
Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's now looking like a long shot to play vs. the Titans this weekend. We'll see how Vegas replaces Renfrow's slot snaps. WRs Tyron Johnson and Keelan Cole are behind primary outside WRs Davante Adams and Mack Hollins.
Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow led the team with 10 targets in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, catching 7 of them for 59 yards. TE Darren Waller tied WR Mack Hollins for 2nd on the team with 8 looks, catching 6 for 50 yards and a TD. Hollins hauled in 5 balls for 66 yards. WR Davante Adams followed with 7 targets but managed just 2 receptions for 12 yards. He did, at least, catch Carr's other TD.
Raiders TE Darren Waller ended Week 1 with 4 grabs for 79 yards. He saw 6 targets, tied with Hunter Renfrow for 2nd on the team behind clear-cut leader Davante Adams (17). Waller posted chunk gains of 31 and 23 yards, with the 31-yarder nearly going for a score. He should have scored earlier on an end zone ball, but the Derek Carr pass was thrown well behind. So, Waller will look for his first TD this week vs. Arizona. He'll remain a strong TE1 for that one.
The Raiders and TE Darren Waller agreed to a 3-year, $51 million contract extension.

I don’t really know anything about that whole situation yet. He’ll be out there today and we’re excited about moving forward here with our whole group and trying to get guys in positions where we feel like they’re going to be as we head into the opening week next week.”
Raiders HC Josh McDaniels wouldn't commit on Wednesday to TE Darren Waller being ready for the start of the season. according to The Athletic's Tashan Reed. Waller has missed basically all of training camp with a hamstring injury. "He is working his butt off," McDaniels said. "He knows he is going to be a big part of our team." Waller still has about 2-and-a-half weeks before the opener, but this has become a situation to keep a close eye on. We wouldn't blame you for shying away from Waller at ADP until he gets back on the field.
