Hunter Henry - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has a good quarterback now. Rookie Drake Maye impressed in his debut in Week 6, completing three passes to Henry for 41 yards and a touchdown. The involvement in the offense and red-zone opportunities make the 29-year old a viable fantasy […]

Calvin Ridley - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a solid player. His team agreed when they gave him a four year, $92,000,000 contract before the 2024 season. It doesn't really matter, though, because his quarterback, Will Levis (shoulder, has been one of the league's worst this year. Dayo Odeyingbo […]

Jaylen Waddle - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Salvation is seemingly on the horizon for fantasy managers of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. While starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa isn't eligible to return to play until Week 8 at the earliest, Miami will face the Indianapolis Colts, who have one of the worst pass defenses […]

Austin Ekeler - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start if Brian Robinson Jr. doesn't play POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2/RB4 ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler struggled in Week 6, but he faced the best run defense in the NFL in the Baltimore Ravens, so that wasn't much of a surprise. He has a much softer matchup against the Carolina Panthers scheduled for Week […]

Anthony Richardson, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 7

Quarterback is one of the more frustrating positions to manage in fantasy football this year. There have only been a handful of every-week must-starts, like Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. Many of the league's other signal-callers have had both boom and bust games. There are several factors to consider in start decisions, like health of […]

Tank Dell, DeMario Douglas, Romeo Doubs: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 7

In fantasy football, there are a ton of factors that play into wide receiver scoring potential every week. Many players points scored vary so much week to week that gaining an edge in knowing who to start can be a week-winning decision. A dive into many WRs' stats will show you games where they hardly […]

Rachaad White - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Week 6's game gave us an excuse to do something we've needed to do for a while -- bench Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot). Things haven't gotten better for him this season. In fact, they've gotten worse. After Sunday's game, which White missed, Bucs head […]

Sean Tucker - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: No matter how many times a player has a huge performance out of nowhere and then follows it up with a dud, it's difficult to bench him. But that's what you should do with Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker. The New Orleans Saints defense he dominated […]

Tyler Allgeier - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: It's important to understand that one game doesn't dictate how the rest of the season will go, and it doesn't necessarily show a big change in how the offense functions. Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier had his biggest game of the season, scoring 19.8 PPR fantasy points, […]

Jordan Mason - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start if Healthy POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) has been a surprise late-round pick, waiver wire stud, or a lifesaver for those who drafted Christian McCaffrey and decided to pick up his handcuff. He's the RB8 in full-PPR scoring and has two games with over 20 […]

Brock Purdy - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End QB1 ANALYSIS: These days, there are two rules to apply when choosing a starting quarterback. The first is -- is he hyper-mobile? Think Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson. The second is -- is he in an offense from the Shanahan tree? The top quarterbacks this year mostly fit […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Another day, another instance of "Man, this guy would be really good with less target competition." Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has carved out a nice, yet inconsistent, role in his offense. The presence of both WRs Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf creates a lot of competition for […]

Isaac Guerendo - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start if Jordan Mason (shoulder) can't play POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo showed in Week 6 that he would do just fine filling in for an injured Mason for a full game. He ripped of a 76-yard carry to seal the game, capping off a 10-carry, 99-yard […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start if Devin Singletary (groin) can't play POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2/RB4 ANALYSIS: New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is a risky player to start if lead Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) returns to play in Week 7. If the former Bill can't play, the rookie is a great start and a […]

Alexander Mattison - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start if Zamir White (groin) doesn't play POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison is one of the more frustrating fantasy players to own this season. He's been extremely boom or bust. Granted, the booms haven't been huge, but when he's the lead back, he's at least somewhat startable. […]

Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End QB1 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold played well through his first four weeks of action, then fell flat against the New York Jets in Week 5. While the Jets boast an excellent defense that's been giving quarterbacks fits for years now, it's important to look into the context […]

Khalil Shakir - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: The addition of former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper isn't great for the fantasy value of Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir... or is it? It will really depend on how the targets are divided up in the new offense. It seems like running back James Cook […]

Tony Pollard - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard seemingly has no obstacles between him and a workhorse role in Week 6. Backup Tyjae Spears (hamstring) is likely to miss the game with his injury, and third-year-pro Julius Chestnut saw just one touch in Week 6 and likely won't be much […]

Christian Kirk - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk has seen a diminished role in his offense this year, and with the return of tight end Evan Engram, who earned 10 targets last week, Kirk is now likely the third option in the passing game. He was […]

Zach Ertz - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in full-PPR POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline TE1 ANALYSIS: Few things are inevitable in life. Hardship, turmoil, and Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz somehow being fantasy-relevant for yet another season. He's been a surprise in this offense and is currently the TE14. He'd be higher were it not for a weird game in […]

Brandon Aiyuk - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: The runner-up in yards per reception in 2023, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, has seen his efficiency fall down to earth after an offseason of holding out for a new contract. He's not been the fantasy producer he was in 2024. He averaged 17.9 yards per […]

James Conner - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in Standard Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner had a bad game in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers, taking seven carries for just 24 yards, catching four passes for 22 yards, failing to score a touchdown, and losing a fumble in the process. However, most […]

Is Cooper Kupp Playing This Week? Latest Injury Update for Rams WRs in Week 7

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) has had a rough go with injuries for the past few seasons. This year is no exception. He's recovering from a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 2, and it's possible he could return to play this week. The Rams desperately need him back. Fellow star Rams […]

Is Jonathan Taylor Playing This Week? Latest Injury Update for Colts RBs in Week 7

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has now missed two consecutive games with a high-ankle sprain that he picked up late in the Colts' Week 4 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Taylor will now have his third straight season of not being able to play 17 games. The injury bug has hit him particularly […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Report for Week 7 - Searching for League Winners

As the season wears on, many rookie players have their big breakouts and become much more difficult to acquire. However, there are still plenty of players who can be obtained for cheaper than their true season-long value. The 2024 NFL Draft class was very deep at wide receiver and had quite a few underrated running […]

Is Christian McCaffrey The Starting Running Back For The 49ers When He Returns?

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) still has yet to play a game this season. He's been attempting to recover from Achilles tendonitis in both of his legs. He likely acquired the injury over time, as it's an overuse injury, and needs plenty of rest to recover. It's been one of the most […]

Tee Higgins - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins started the season on the bench -- he wasn't able to go due to a hamstring injury. He returned in Week 3 and was likely load-managed for that game. Since then, he's been fantastic for fantasy managers, scoring double-digit points in Weeks […]

Xavier Worthy - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is a big play waiting to happen, and with more opportunities, he could establish himself as a clear WR2 in fantasy football. The speedster is grouped with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach (and offensive mastermind) Andy Reid, and that will […]

Chase Brown - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: It looks like Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is making a legitimate push for the starting job over veteran Zack Moss. The second-year pro has outshined his backfield mate lately -- Brown has now scored double-digit PPR fantasy points in three straight games and has seen his […]

Ladd McConkey - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hip) is dealing with an injury, but there are no indications that it's serious, and he should play Monday night. If he does, he's worth a start as a WR3/flex option. He's an excellent receiver who's been held back by a […]
