Josh Downs - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is still worth starting in fantasy leagues, especially those with PPR scoring.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) has been working his way back from a season-ending ACL tear he suffered in Week 2 of 2023.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) is one part of a huge list of injured players on his team, and that's terrible news for the team.

Is Jakobi Meyers The WR1 For The Raiders When He Returns?

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) wasn't able to suit up last game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6, and the team missed his presence.

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2/WR1 ANALYSIS: You sat down for your fantasy draft, made it to the later rounds, saw a rookie, and figured you'd take a shot on him.

Diontae Johnson - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2/WR1 ANALYSIS: There should be absolutely no thought put into this.

Just ignore that […]

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: QB3 ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler is entering one of the ugliest situations of any QB in the NFL this season.

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 1QB Leagues, Start in 2QB Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: While Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has logged three games of 19+ fantasy points in his last four games, he also has three games of single-digit scoring and doesn't quite crack the top-15 quarterbacks yet. He's start-worthy in 2QB leagues, but […]

Javonte Williams - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams is now another year removed from a devastating knee injury that ended his 2022 season, and while many analysts expected him to return to form, that hasn't come to pass.

Courtland Sutton - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is one of the more frustrating players to manage in fantasy football this season.

Jaleel McLaughlin - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Running back hell is a brutal thing for fantasy teams, and Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin isn't likely to get you out of it. After showing off impressive explosiveness and quickness in 2023, the second-year-pro now hasn't been fantasy relevant. Tyler Badie registered the first 70 + […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1 ANALYSIS: The Carolina Panthers face the Washington Commanders in Week 7. Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is a good football player.

Jayden Reed - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Upside WR2 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (ankle) likely had a down game in Week 6 due to an ankle injury that he picked up, but his efficiency has been ridiculous, and he's produced big games even without massive target volume.

BALLER MOVE: Bench Stash in 12-14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There come times in fantasy football where adding players completely speculatively works out well.

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram went right back to his old ways, becoming a target monster in Week 6.

Juwan Johnson - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2 ANALYSIS: While New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson is in line for increased snaps and usage with starting tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) designated as "doubtful" for Thursday, the entire Saints offense is reeling from injuries, and it may be tough for them to […]

Is Tyrone Tracy Jr. The Starting Running Back For The Giants?

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. burst onto the fantasy scene in the absence of lead running back Devin Singletary.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had a fantastic 2024 season through one game -- he was forced out of his Week 2 contest against the rival Arizona Cardinals with an ankle injury and hasn't played a down since. He's an elite receiver, but injuries have interrupted his past three campaigns now. He played […]

Is T.J. Hockenson The Starting Tight End For The Vikings When He Returns?

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson is inching closer to a return to play, and there's a strong possibility his first game back is a revenge game against his former team and now divisional rival, the Detroit Lions. It's been a remarkable recovery for the former Lion, who tore his ACL on Christmas Eve 2023. […]

Is Chuba Hubbard Still The Starting Running Back For The Panthers?

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has had a surprising start to the 2024 season. Seemingly out of nowhere, he's the RB5 in full-PPR scoring and has been efficient in handling the majority of the backfield workload for his team. He's averaging just under 16 PPR fantasy points per game. He's logged a cool 5.6 […]

Is Isaac Guerendo A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 7? Waiver Wire Outlook

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo wasn't on the fantasy radar to start the 2024 season. The rookie was selected in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft, and the presence of All-Pro Christian McCaffrey (Achilles), who was coming off another monster season, made Guerendo irrelevant for fantasy football. However, things can change […]

Should I Drop Zamir White? Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (groin) has potentially cemented himself as the biggest bust of the 2024 fantasy football season (excluding injuries).

Is Alexander Mattison A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 7? Waiver Wire Outlook

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison has had an up-and-down season fantasy-wise in 2024. He's combined weeks of low, single-digit scoring with nice double-digit performances and has not shown much consistency in between. He's one of the tougher codes to crack for fantasy managers this season. He has two games scoring under 6.2 PPR […]

Should I Drop Rashee Rice? Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee) was a revelation for fantasy managers to start 2024. He broke out in a big way, smashing his ADP of 68 (around the WR30) and scoring 17.3, 18.5, and 29.1 PPR fantasy points to start the season. Unfortunately, it all came crashing down when his quarterback, Patrick […]

Should I Drop Tyjae Spears? Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 7

After a considerable amount of pre-season hype, Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) has not produced to the level of hopes of fantasy managers this season.
