Trey McBride - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Top-5 TE in ANALYSIS: It was disappointing for Trey McBride fantasy managers in Week 16, as he caught six balls for just 31 yards against the Bears. His 6.1 half-PPR fantasy points were his fewest since Week 9. Despite the lack of production last week, the opportunity […]
George Pickens - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Boom-or-bust WR3 ANALYSIS: George Pickens exploded for 35.5 fantasy points in Week 16. However, he was probably on many people's benches after averaging just nine fantasy points per game in four games since Matt Canada was let go as offensive coordinator. But Week 16 goes to show […]
Chuba Hubbard - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2 ANALYSIS: Since Week 12, Chuba Hubbard has had a really solid role in the Panthers' offense.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR3 with WR2 upside ANALYSIS: Jayden Reed will return in Week 17 against the Vikings after missing Week 16 due to toe and chest injuries.

Nico Collins - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 with top-10 upside ANALYSIS: Nico Collins (calf) is completely off the injury report in Week 17.

Jonathan Taylor - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Top-10 RB with top-5 upside ANALYSIS: Zack Moss (forearm) has been ruled out once again. That means it's the Jonathan Taylor show again in Week 17.

Derrick Henry - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit in shallow leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2 ANALYSIS: It feels weird recommending Derrick Henry as a sit, but here we are.

James Cook - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end RB2 with low-end RB1 upside ANALYSIS: James Cook produced just seven fantasy points in Week 16 on 20 touches.

Terry McLaurin - Week 16 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit in 10 and 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 with limited upside ANALYSIS: It feels weird calling Tery McLaurin a WR3 with limited upside. But that's where we are in Week 16. He faces the New York Jets, who allow just 11.57 fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. That's […]
Brandin Cooks - Week 16 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 with WR3 upside ANALYSIS: It wasn't pretty for Brandin Cooks early in the season. Before the Cowboys' Bye in Week 7, Cooks averaged just 4.6 targets per game. He only had 52 air yards in one of those five games. In his last six games, Cooks […]
Isiah Pacheco - Week 16 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Mid-range RB1 ANALYSIS: Isiah Pacheco returns after a two-game absence. He comes back to an incredible opportunity with Jerick McKinnon already ruled out for Week 16. In Weeks 12 and 13 without McKinnon, Pacheco averaged 21 opportunities per game. That included 4.5 targets per game with a […]
Josh Allen - Week 16 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end QB1 ANALYSIS: Of course you're starting Josh Allen in Week 16 vs. the Chargers. They allow the most passing yards per game and the 3rd-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. It's also being played in Los Angeles so there are no December weather concerns. The […]
Pat Freiermuth - Week 16 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end TE2 with low-end TE1 upside ANALYSIS: Pat Freiermuth has disappointed fantasy managers the last three weeks.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 and 14-team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end RB3 with low-end RB2 upside ANALYSIS: Jaylen Warren isn't the flashiest play, but he does come with a decent floor and some good upside as your RB2/RB3 or flex in Week 16. Since Week 9, Warren has gotten an average of 14.4 opportunities […]
Dalton Kincaid - Week 16 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit in 10 and 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end TE2 with low-end TE1 upside ANALYSIS: Kincaid gets a really good matchup in Week 16 vs. the Chargers (indoors in LA), but what will he do with it? In his last two games with Dawson Knox back, he's averaged just 2.5 receptions for 10.5 […]
Tyler Boyd - Week 16 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit in 10 and 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 in PPR leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Boyd has been a known commodity in the fantasy football landscape for some time now.

Derrick Henry - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Mid-range RB1 ANALYSIS: The 2023 Texans are not the Texans from years past. In prior seasons, fantasy managers would circle the Texans on Derrick Henry's schedule because he always put up video game numbers against them. Things have changed this season, as the Texans allow the 8th-fewest […]
Kareem Hunt - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit in 10 and 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TD-dependent RB3/4 ANALYSIS: At this point, we know exactly what we're getting with Kareem Hunt.

BALLER MOVE: Start In All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 with WR1 upside ANALYSIS: Mike Evans put up a dud in Week 14, catching just one pass for eight yards on six targets.

Tony Pollard - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Top-10 RB with top-5 upside ANALYSIS: Somehow, someway, Tony Pollard is still a low-end RB1 this season. But it hasn't been pretty. After a solid start, he recorded single-digit fantasy points in five of six games between Weeks 4 and 10. However, he's turned it on of […]
Jake Ferguson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Mid-range TE1 with top-5 upside ANALYSIS: Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson is 2nd on the team in target share (20%) the past two weeks.

From Worst to First: The 2023 Orlando Magic
Through 23 games last season, the Orlando Magic were just 5-18. At one point, they had lost nine straight. Oh, how the tides have turned in just one year. This season, the Magic are 16-7 through 23 games and own the third-best record in the Eastern Conference. They even turned that nine-game losing streak from […]
