Allen Lazard fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Allen Lazard for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Sit in 16+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR57
ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard was a complete fantasy football afterthought entering the 2024 season. Many didn’t have him in their preseason rankings, while others cut the veteran from their dynasty teams. However, the former Iowa State star shined in the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Lazard was the WR3, scoring 23.9 half-point PPR fantasy points. The veteran wide receiver had six receptions on nine targets for 89 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was second on the team in targets behind Garrett Wilson (11).

While Lazard had a massive opening-week performance, he lucked out with two touchdowns. The first came on a free play because of a defensive penalty. The second touchdown came with Tyrod Taylor in the game after the Jets had pulled Rodgers in the blowout loss.
Fantasy players shouldn’t expect a repeat performance from Lazard in Week 2. Without the two touchdowns, the veteran would have scored 11.9 fantasy points. More importantly, Rodgers should have better luck connecting with Wilson against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday than he did against the 49ers in Week 1.

Rhamondre Stevenson - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Mid-end RB2 ANALYSIS: The New England Patriots' running back room has been heavily analyzed all summer long.

The two saw a similar workload last season until Stevenson […]
Jaylen Warren - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start as RB2 in PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: After three seasons as the Steelers' RB2 behind Najee Harris and making zero starts, Jaylen Warren finally took the starting job in 2025 and silenced many of his critics. He admittedly got off to a slow start, but really got going following a […]
Marvin Harrison Jr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start as WR3 in 12-Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Are NFL fans being too harsh on Marvin Harrison Jr.? The Ohio State product was picked fourth overall in 2024 and had an objectively solid rookie season, which was unfortunately overshadowed by Brian Thomas Jr., Malik Nabers, and Ladd McConkey's outstanding rookie […]
