Las Vegas Raiders DFS Spin
ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez reports that Darren Waller (hamstring/IR) is “on track” to come off injured reserve for Week 15 against the Patriots. Waller will have missed roughly 10 weeks of action at that point, but with the Raiders suddenly surging, it makes sense for him to work his way back in for the final month of action. Waller has a 16/175/1 line in five games this season — one of which he left after just eight snaps. Given the state of the tight end position in fantasy football right now, even a just-off-IR Waller strikes us as a good play.
Los Angeles Rams DFS Spin
Aaron Donald (ankle) will not play in Week 14 against the Raiders. Donald is dealing with a high-ankle sprain. He missed Week 13 with the issue and, given the Rams’ 3-9 record, could ultimately be held out for the remainder of the season. Once a vaunted defense, the Rams’ will be trotting out a skeleton crew on both sides of the ball this week. Derek Carr will be a high-end QB2 for his Week 14 matchup with LA.
