EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants tight end Darren Waller made a significant impact nearly every day of training camp. Down the middle, in the red zone, underneath, jumping over the heads of cornerbacks or safeties, it was clear that he was going to be quarterback Daniel Jones’ No. 1 target.
Waller even caught three passes on four targets for 30 yards on the starters’ only preseason drive. That all screeched to a halt before October. Waller hasn’t reached 30 receiving yards in either of the past two games.
While Waller has still been Jones’ top target, the chemistry hasn’t quite carried over to the regular season.
