New York Giants star tight end Darren Waller is expected to play in Week 8 against the New York Jets despite being listed as questionable with a hamstring injury.
Waller was limited in practice this week, but the Giants are just giving their star tight end a breather to make sure he is good to go.
Waller dealt with a bunch of injuries in recent seasons, so it makes sense to not tax him this early in the 2023 campaign.

Best Darren Waller prop bet for Week 8 vs. New York Jets
Darren Waller OVER 42.5 receiving yards
This is a steal for Waller in Week 8, as the Giants tight end has really come into form the last few weeks, especially with Tyrod Taylor under center.
In his last three games, Waller has posted stat lines of:
- Week 7: seven catches, 98 yards, touchdown
- Week 6: five catches, 43 yards
- Week 5: eight catches, 86 yards
The star tight end is really coming into his own in a Giants uniform, clearing this prop in three straight games and four of his last six.
I think he’ll be relied on heavily against a tough Jets defense.
