Tight End · Carolina Panthers · TE8 PPR (Week 4 2026)
Darren Waller is ranked TE8 (overall #8) for the Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season in PPR fantasy football by Hayden of The Underdog Football Show.
Waller could be the Panthers No. 2 target with Jalen Coker (quad) sidelined. Waller had 8.3 expected half PPR points (TE12) with 7 targets last week after Coker and TE Mitchell Evans left early. Waller still has some juice on tape (TE14 in YPG), and even if he didn't, there is still a red zone prowess that ages gracefully. The Panthers are projected for 24.0 points, and they could be in negative game script against a high-powered Lions defense that should feast on an injured Carolina defense. Garbage time production seems bankable this week, just as it was for previous TEs against Detroit: Kenyon Sadiq (TE4), Dalton Kincaid (TE3), Juwan Johnson (TE7), and even Colston Loveland last year in Week 18 (TE1).
