Giants vs. Cowboys Player Prop

As evidenced in the preseason, Darren Waller is set to be a key component of the Giants’ offense. Despite missing time in the past two seasons, Waller was a standout tight end in both 2019 and 2020, garnering over 100 targets and 1,000 receiving yards each year. Given his track record and expected high volume of targets, Waller makes for an excellent play.
