Unretired to join the Dolphins as Jonnu Smith's replacement. NFL history has been unkind to these kinds of comeback attempts.

Waller is 32 years old and retired in 2023 after a 52-catch, 552-yard season with the Giants. 

Can Waller return to the 1,100-yard glory days of 2019-2020? It's unlikely, but a season with 400-600 yards and 4-6 touchdowns isn't out of the question. 

As of now, that's the projection I have for Waller. We'll see if Miami adds other tight ends with more compelling resumes.

33 years old now. Was out of the league at 32. Played only 12 games at age 31. Played only 9 games at age 30. Played only 11 games at age 29.

Waller comes out retirement into what appears to be a valuable role in fantasy. Jonnu Smith was top 5 last year. I dount Waller has that upside, but he could be a decent streamer some weeks.
