Malik Nabers, Daniel Bellinger, Giants Fantasy Outlook After Darren Waller Retires

Darren Waller retired on Sunday, leaving the New York Giants without their top option at tight end going forward.

"We have great respect for Darren as a person and player," the team said in a statement. "We wish him nothing but the best."

For fantasy players, the retirement leads to the obvious question of who will benefit—and just how much—from Waller's retirement.

It won't help Daniel Jones much, taking away one of his security blankets. He's now without both Waller and running back Saquon Barkley, who signed with the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason.

You probably were going to avoid Jones anyway in fantasy, as he's never been much of a passer, and his only real hope of sneaking into the QB2 range as your backup is if he replicates his 708 rushing yards and seven scores on the ground from the 2022 season.
