Jones wants to get Darren Waller more involved

Giants QB Daniel Jones wants to get TE Darren Waller the ball more going forward. “I think it’s important [he’s a bigger part of offense],” Jones said, via ESPN's Jordan Raanan. “He’s a talented player and poses a big threat for defenses. I have to do a better job of finding him and getting him the ball. I think there are just some opportunities that I have to get him the ball and give him a chance to make plays.” Jones was strangely invisible in the passing game for most of Monday night's loss to the Seahawks. Part of that was due to the Giants needing him to help out in pass protection. We'll see what HC Brian Daboll comes up with for a game plan vs. the Dolphins this weekend, but we'd expect more volume for Waller. He totaled a solid 20 targets over the first three games of the season.
