The Facts: There were plenty of emotions experienced by Waller when he learned the Raiders had traded him to the Giants in March. Surprise was not one of them. “Not totally shocked,” Waller said on Thursday night of his immediate reaction when he learned of the move. “I had heard some things. There were different moments throughout the year that I heard I may be traded or I may not. So the actual event of it wasn’t too shocking. But I didn’t expect it to be the Giants.”

Diehards Line:Waller, who had 286 catches for 3,469 yards and 17 touchdowns in just more than four seasons with the Raiders, was shipped out in exchange for a third-round draft pick after an injury-plagued 2022 season in which he had 388 yards and three touchdowns in nine games. There were rumors of locker room strife and a lack of cohesion with coach Josh McDaniels as well as vague references to issues involving the guest list at Waller’s wedding, but Waller isn’t one to over-analyze what led to his departure. “I’m done questioning God and what he’s trying to do,” Waller said. Meanwhile, there have been plenty of glowing reports coming out of Giants’ practices about how Waller has looked so far as he has hit the ground running with his new team over the past three months. Fantasy managers should expect a major role given the composition of the team's receiving corps.
