The New York Giants made a big splash in acquiring Darren Waller in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason, giving Daniel Jones a dynamic playmaker at the tight end position. But after dealing with a hamstring injury this week, how effective will he be in his Giants debut on Sunday Night Football? We break down the Waller player props, give out a best bet, and more.

Waller Best Bet
The Giants went into this offseason looking to make a splash at wide receiver. The problem was — there weren’t any players available that fit that profile. That is what led them to Waller, who they viewed as the best pass catcher available for trade.
Waller enters the 2023 season as the presumed No. 1 target for Daniel Jones. In their limited action together in the preseason, it looked like they have already developed strong chemistry, as if the Jones-to-Waller connection had been a thing for years.
Although he was on the injury report with a hamstring injury, I’m still expecting Waller to be heavily involved in the game plan against the Cowboys.
Best Bet: Darren Waller Over 45.5 receiving yards (-115 at DraftKings)
