While it’s still not official, fantasy managers can put the idea of the soon-to-be 32 year old Waller returning to what figures to be an abysmal Giants offense to rest. After releasing one of the music videos of all time and divorcing Kelsey Plum, it’s hard to blame Waller if he doesn’t want to stick his neck out for a third time by running it back with Daniel Jones in 2024. In his lone season with the Giants, Waller amassed 552 yards on 52 receptions and scored just one touchdown in 12 starts, with that lone score being thrown by backup QB Tyrod Taylor. Since putting himself on the map with two top-3 finishes with the Raiders in 2019 and 2020, Waller has struggled to stay healthy. There was optimism following his trade to New York that he could return to form on an upstart Giants team that won a playoff game in 2022, but injuries as usual and a general floundering by the entire Giants organization in 2023 threw a wrench into his comeback plans. Even if Waller were to surprise the NFL world and return for the 2024 season with the Giants, he’d face even stiffer target competition with rookie phenom Malik Nabers lining up out wide. In other words, things weren’t going to get any easier moving forward for Waller than they were in 2023, but it likely won’t matter at this point with the nine-year veteran being expected to hang up the cleats.
