The New York Giants are preparing for a challenging matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, and all eyes will be on the clash between tight end Darren Waller and linebacker Fred Warner.

With star running back Saquon Barkley out due to injury, the pressure will be on Waller to help make plays for the Giants. Despite dealing with some injuries in the past, Waller is known as one of the most difficult receiving tight ends to cover when healthy.

His catch radius and ability to reach out and snag the ball away from defenders makes him difficult to defend.
