Jaylen Wright (RB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the injury to fellow RB Jeff Wilson Jr., Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright should be added in all leagues as a handcuff to RB De'Von Achane.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (14+ Team) Or As Handcuff ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys tight end Luke Schoonmaker filled in nicely in the absence of Jake Ferguson, catching all six of his targets for six receptions and 43 yards.

With Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown now declared "Out" for Monday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons, Brown managers may be looking to add a receiver who will play in the Falcons-Eagles game to replace Brown. While Brown is an elite receiver and his production cannot be fully replaced, other receivers will play on […]

Misery In Miami: How Tua's Injury Affects Miami Dolphins Fantasy Outlook

Miami Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a major concussion in their loss against the Bills on Thursday, and there's no doubt he will miss time. This shakes up the fantasy outlook massively for the Miami Dolphins, who have multiple star players that will be greatly affected. Wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and […]

Daniel Carlson Has Big Day In Raiders Shocking Win

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson bounced back from a disappointing Week 1 performance with a massive game in the Week 2 upset win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Raiders Win Big At Baltimore, But D/ST Disappoints In Again

The Las Vegas Raiders went on the road to Baltimore and delivered a huge upset win against the Ravens. Despite this, the Raiders D/ST was again not startable, scoring just four points in normal defensive scoring formats. The Raiders have had their hands full with great offenses to start the season, having faced the Chargers […]

Alexander Mattison Hits Paydirt But Gains Just One Rushing Yard

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison carried the football four times for just one yard against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. He recorded no receptions but was able to find paydirt on the ground, thus somewhat salvaging his day. Mattison was out-carried by backfield mate Zamir White to the tune of nine carries […]

Jakobi Meyers Produces Little In Raiders Big Win Over Ravens

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers took a step back production-wise after his nice Week 1 performance, finishing with just four catches for 29 yards in Sunday's upset win over the Baltimore Ravens, which was good for 6.9 PPR fantasy points. Meyers wasn't able to produce against a Ravens' elite secondary, and that's not […]

Zamir White Quiet Again In Raiders Win Over Ravens

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White turned another inefficient fantasy dud in Week 2, taking nine carries for just 24 yards (2.4 yards per carry) and catching three passes for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens. The 24-year-old has yet to score double-digit PPR fantasy points, logging just 6.8 in […]

Gardner Minshew II Has Pedestrian Day Despite Upset Win

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II led his team to an upset 26-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday but still put up pedestrian passing numbers en route to a mediocre fantasy performance.

Jahan Dotson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Even if A.J. Brown misses time, Philadelphia Eagles WR Jahan Dotson isn't worth putting in your starting lineups. He's brand new to the Eagles offensive scheme, hasn't had much time to adjust, and isn't a good receiver anyway. Dotson was let go by the Commanders […]

MarShawn Lloyd - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd was a great running back prospect drafted out of USC. He posted some eye-popping advanced statistics and many highlight-reel-worthy plays. However, he's a rookie coming off a hamstring injury, so his role and health are unclear. He's a risky start this […]

Will A.J. Brown Play In Week 2? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown has enjoyed two fantastic seasons in a row, finishing as the WR6 and WR5 in PPR fantasy scoring in 2022-2023.

Darnell Mooney - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: The Atlanta Falcons got off to an ice-cold start to the 2024 season. QB Kirk Cousins has had a fantastic career, especially at supporting fantasy-relevant WRs, and Mooney is the No. 2 WR on the Falcons' depth chart. WR Ray-Ray McCloud III led the team in receiving yards […]

Jaylen Warren - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: While Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren provides excellent receiving upside and tantalizing ability to produce explosive plays when healthy, he's still nursing a hamstring injury, and was clearly limited in Week 1, recording just two carries and two receptions. Fellow Steelers RB Najee […]

Malik Willis - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit (Absolutely Do Not Start) POSITIONAL VALUE: QB3 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis is terrible. There's really nothing redeeming to his game, other than some rushing ability that's immediately negated by the fact that defenses know he can't throw the ball well or read their defenses and can simply play the […]

Tank Bigsby - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in Very Deep Leagues (16+ Teams) POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Tank Bigsby had an efficient start to his season in Week 1, shaking off the rust from his disappointing 2023 campaign and logging 73 rushing yards on 12 carries. Bigsby outgained starting running back Travis Etienne Jr. by 29 yards and was […]

Jalen Nailor - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: One target in Week 1. That's all you need to know about Minnesota Vikings WR Jalen Nailor for now. Even though it was a touchdown, it's far too early to put Nailor in starting lineups. Unless you're in a 20-team league with 5 WR spots. Maybe not that […]

Josh Downs, Alec Pierce: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 2

Indianapolis Colts wide receivers Josh Downs and Alec Pierce have had their moments so far in the NFL, but neither have put together consistent production. The two players profile as different assets for the Colts offense. Downs is great against man coverage and on short and intermediate routes, using his short-area quickness to generate fast […]

Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Colby Parkinson: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 2

With the injury to Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, a target hog and monster producer in the 2023 season, a significant vacuum has opened up, giving a golden opportunity to the other Rams pass catchers to shine. Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, and Colby Parkinson are all poised to receive higher workloads, and choosing the right […]

Isaac Guerendo (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues (16+ Teams) or as a Handcuff ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Though San Francisco running back Christian McCaffrey is being considered for IR after a worsening of his calf and Achilles injuries, Guerendo is unlikely to see much playing time. Head coach Kyle Shanahan doesn't typically give […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Report for Week 2 - Searching For League Winners

Rookies offer league-winning cheat codes quite often in fantasy football. It's possible to get players that are relatively unknown but go on to have massive, league-winning seasons for very cheap (like late-round draft picks or trading far inferior players), and being early on rookies can get your team over the hump and the championship. Just […]

Taysom Hill - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: While Saints tight end Taysom Hill didn't have the best game in Week 1, the tight end position is grimmer than a Franz Kafka novel, and Hill has a nice rushing floor to lean on in an offense that wants to utilize him as a multi-talented weapon. He […]

Is Jayden Reed Injured or Playing In Week 2? Should I Start Christian Watson For Fantasy Football?

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (shin/calf) had a massive game in Week 1, finishing as the WR1 overall for the week and scoring 33.1 PPR fantasy points. Reed showed dominance in both receiving and rushing, scoring touchdowns on the ground and through the air. Reed appears to be building off his 2023 season, […]
