Diontae Johnson fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 10 (2024). Should you start or sit Diontae Johnson for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: It takes time to master an NFL offense, especially in the middle of the season.
That's the reality for Diontae Johnson, a fantasy football lineup lock in Carolina for several weeks. The Ravens acquired the wide receiver last week. He played 30% of the snaps in his Baltimore debut and no passes were thrown in his direction.

Johnson isn't dethroning Zay Flowers as Baltimore's WR1 and there hasn't been a consistent second receiver in that offense. Mark Andrews has been invisible more often than not. Rashod Bateman reels in a long pass now and then. The Ravens run the football at the third-highest rate in the NFL.
Johnson is a good wide receiver. However, this offense isn't the best fit for his fantasy production. He'll be more involved against Cincinnati on Thursday night, and Johnson torched their secondary earlier this season (seven catches for 83 yards and a touchdown). He's just not worth starting yet until we witness consistent production.

Terrance Ferguson - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2/FLEX with upside ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Rams passing attack will look quite different on Monday night when they face the New York Giants. The team just announced that star wideout Puka Nacua will not suit up due to a hip injury. While Davante Adams is […]
Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
