Josh Downs (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add  ROSTERED IN: 68% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is still on waivers in your league, you should first be thrilled that you have a chance to add a stud playmaker and, second, immediately put in a claim for him. He's a fantastic receiver, and his game is perfect for […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add  ROSTERED IN: 56% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Giants freshman running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. had his second big game in relief of starter Devin Singletary (groin), who wasn't able to suit up for a second consecutive week. Tracy exploited a Cincinnati Bengals defense that's struggled against running backs this year to […]

Isaac Guerendo (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add  ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo has tremendous upside if lead running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) doesn't return (and it's unlikely he will) and his backup Jordan Mason (shoulder) is sidelined due to his AC joint sprain. The thing about 49ers running backs is that […]

Will Khalil Shakir Play Tonight? Fantasy Football Injury Update For 'Monday Night Football'

The Buffalo Bills' best wide receiver right now is Khalil Shakir, and the team felt the impact of his absence in Week 5 when they dropped the game to the Houston Texans. Quarterback Josh Allen completed just nine of 30 passes for 131 yards and one touchdown. It was not a good performance. The wide […]

Will James Cook Play Tonight? Fantasy Football Injury Update For 'Monday Night Football'

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is having a fantastic season. He's a near-lock to score double-digit fantasy points when he plays a full game, and he's averaged a touchdown for every game he's played so far. He's the engine of his offense and has the trust of his quarterback and the offensive staff. He […]

Tre Tucker Targeted Twice But Comes Up Empty

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker earned two targets but failed to record a catch in the Raiders' blowout loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Things weren't looking good for the second-year-pro heading into the game, who had to face one of the league's toughest defenses against wide receivers. Pittsburgh's defense made […]

Daniel Carlson Nearly Blanked Again As Raiders Offense Sputters

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson had another game with virtually no opportunities to score as the Raiders fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers 32-13 in Week 6. Las Vegas scored a touchdown on their first drive and afforded Carlson an extra point attempt but were held scoreless until the fourth quarter when they scored a […]

Alexander Mattison Scores Touchdown Yet Is Inefficient In Loss

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison rushed 14 times for 33 yards and caught five passes for 32 yards in the Raiders' 32-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. The Raiders running back had an inefficient outing yet again. The touchdown and receiving work gave him a solid fantasy outing in PPR […]

Brock Bowers Catches Nine Passes In Week 6

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers continued his stellar freshman season in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers by catching nine passes for 71 yards on 10 targets. The rookie remains the lone bright spot on an otherwise putrid Las Vegas offense that has struggled throughout the season. Bowers consistently beat coverages in the […]

Aidan O'Connell Has Poor Showing In First Start

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell earned his first start after fellow QB Gardner Minshew II was benched, but he didn't make much of a difference for his team. The Raiders were blown out by the Pittsburgh Steelers 32-13 in Week 6. The second-year pro threw for 227 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, averaging […]

Daniel Carlson May See Few Opportunities To Score In Week 6

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson will have to hope for his team to get drives into his field-goal range when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6, though that could be wishful thinking. The Steelers have allowed the fourth-least fantasy points per game to opposing kickers this season, mainly due to their […]

Cam Akers - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back Cam Akers was a serviceable starter for Week 5, but it was only because he scored a touchdown and both running backs ahead of him on the depth chart, Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce, missed time. Now, Mixon (ankle) is expected to play and […]

Mack Hollins - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR7 ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins, the WR93 in full-PPR scoring this season, has six catches for 73 yards and one touchdown so far. That's less than 20 yards per game. That does not support fantasy relevance. Even if lead receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) misses time, that doesn't […]

Jerome Ford - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will likely get his last crack at the starting job for his team in Week 6 when the Browns take on the Philadelphia Eagles. They're a defense allowing 21.0 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season, which is around […]

Kendre Miller: Week 6 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Add Only as Handcuff ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller will finally get his first chance to see action this season. He's not heading into a great situation. Saints starting quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) will miss multiple weeks with a muscle tear, and they already lost […]

Ray Davis: Week 6 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Add Only as Handcuff ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis looked to have an outside shot at being the starter for his team with lead running back James Cook (toe) suffering from an injury. Things are trending toward Cook playing, and Davis hasn't been particularly efficient with […]

Kendrick Bourne - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR6 ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) is expected to play in Week 6 when his team takes on the Houston Texans, but he isn't worth starting. It's not known how close he is to full health, and with a new starting quarterback in rookie Drake Maye, […]

Drake Maye - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: QB3 ANALYSIS: New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will finally get his first start in Week 6, when he will face the Houston Texans. The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft will be the fourth quarterback selected in the first round to earn a starting job. He'll now […]

Jeremy McNichols - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols will get a chance to serve as the primary backup running back when the Commanders face the Baltimore Ravens due to the absence of lead back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) who has been ruled out. That doesn't mean you should start him. […]

Braelon Allen - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline RB3 ANALYSIS: New York Jets running back Braelon Allen has flashed a tantalizing set of skills, becoming an excellent complement to lead back Breece Hall and beating his efficiency by a good margin. Allen has averaged 4.7 yards per carry on the season to Hall's […]

Adonai Mitchell - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: There was a point in time when Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell was an intriguing start. Lead WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back) was supposedly suffering a back injury that could land him on IR and 2nd-string wideout Josh Downs (toe) missed consecutive practices with his ailment. Can […]

Romeo Doubs - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs' suspension and off-the-field issues seem to be behind him, but if fellow WR Christian Watson can put his injury behind him as well, it's unlikely that Doubs will be fantasy-relevant this week. He hasn't been startable all season. Every answer today […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. will get another crack at the starting job now that lead back Devin Singletary (groin) isn't able to go Sunday night. Singletary is now listed as "out", and will not play. Giants downgraded RB Devin Singletary to out for Sunday […]

Cole Kmet - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: Nothing is better than simple and to-the-point start/sit advice. On an unrelated note, nothing is worse than the fantasy football tight end landscape in 2024. When the most miserable position in the game is top-12 at his position, you start him. Notre Dame’s Cole […]

Jerry Jeudy - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has a big problem, and it's not his fault. It's his quarterback's fault. Deshaun Watson is so, so bad. Incomprehensibly bad. Receivers can only do so much when they have terrible, horrible, no good, very bad people throwing them the ball. Deshaun […]

Michael Wilson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson isn't a tough puzzle to crack. He's fantastic against zone coverage and terrible against man coverage. So if he gets manned up, he probably won't do much, but if the defense opts for zone, he can smash. His […]

Quentin Johnston - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston had two nice games, but they were on the backs of touchdowns. He's in a low passing volume offense and doesn't get good target volume. Receivers on run-heavy teams are limited by this. He's also not the primary target for QB […]

NFL Trade Rumors: Will Amari Cooper Be Traded This Season? Fantasy Football Outlook

Another wide receiver, another round of swirling trade rumors. Seems like it happens to all of them. Every year, plenty of wideouts on losing teams become the subject of trade talks (in the media), and often, nothing comes of it. Cleveland Browns WR Amari Cooper is no different. He's on a struggling team but has […]

NFL Trade Rumors: Will DeAndre Hopkins Be Traded This Season? Fantasy Football Outlook

Yes, even the venerable Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been the subject of trade speculation in the media this season. He's 32 years old, coming off an MCL injury, and has yet to make a difference for the Titans this season, but losing teams have an incentive to trade players away. Acquiring more […]

NFL Trade Rumors: Will George Pickens Be Traded This Season? Fantasy Football Outlook

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens isn't quite living up to the preseason hype he received. He has yet to catch a touchdown and has broken 15 PPR fantasy points just once this year. It's not much of a surprise, considering the Steelers chose Arthur Smith to be their offensive coordinator. Smith is perhaps best […]
