Matthew Stafford - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in Superflex Formats POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had his best game of the season last week, throwing for 279 yards and four touchdowns. With Stafford getting back both Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua in that game, the veteran scored 25.8 fantasy points and finished as the […]

Jakobi Meyers – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR34 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has been a solid fantasy football flex option despite playing on an awful offense. The veteran wide receiver is the WR45 for the year, averaging 10.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He missed two games because […]

Josh Downs – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR17 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is the WR28 for the year, averaging 11.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game despite inconsistent quarterback play. The second-year wide receiver is coming off his best game this season, totaling four receptions on nine targets for 109 […]

Jameis Winston - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in Superflex Formats POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end QB2 ANALYSIS: Making his first start since Week 3 of the 2022 season, Jameis Winston looked solid under center. He threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns en route to a QB10 fantasy finish. That strong fantasy performance made Winston a popular waiver wire add in […]

Elijah Moore - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore had his best game of the season last week, catching eight passes for 85 yards. With Jameis Winston under center and Amari Cooper now gone, Moore should continue to see more opportunities in the passing game. The fourth-year wide […]

Roschon Johnson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Other than the occasional touchdown, Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson hasn't had fantasy value. He rushed just three times for six yards last game against the Washington Commanders and averages just under three yards per carry on the season.  ROSCHON JOHNSON TOUCHDOWN!!! pic.twitter.com/d0PwfKpbRN — Nash (@NashTalksTexas) October […]

Quentin Johnston - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle) had a nice streak of games for fantasy football when he was scoring touchdowns. Now he's not catching those touchdowns, his targets and yardage aren't impressive, and he's faded back to fantasy irrelevance, which shouldn't be […]

Alec Pierce - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Most of Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce's value is predicated on three long touchdown catches. Outside of the games in which he's made those, he's caught just five passes on 17 targets for 79 yards and zero touchdowns five games.  The Colts wide receivers are massive fantasy […]

Diontae Johnson – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR62 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson will make his team debut on Sunday against the Denver Broncos after spending the first eight weeks this season with the Carolina Panthers. The veteran was acquired in a trade by the Ravens earlier this week for a swap […]

Trey Palmer - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer picked up an expanded role after the losses of his team's top-2 WRs, Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle), but he didn't do much with his role. He's had just three catches on five targets for 45 yards in his […]

Gabe Davis - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder, game-time decision) may seem like a more attractive fantasy option after the injuries to Christian Kirk (collarbone, out for season) and Brian Thomas Jr. (chest, game-time decision). However, there are a number of reasons why he might be better on the […]

Zack Moss – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB35 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss averaged 12 rushing attempts for 46.8 yards and 13.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the first four weeks, totaling three touchdowns. The veteran running back scored 13 or more fantasy points in three of the first […]

Devin Singletary – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB33 ANALYSIS: New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had a strong start to the season. He averaged 14 rushing attempts for 65.7 yards and 12.7 half-point PPR fantasy points over the first three weeks, totaling two rushing touchdowns. However, his role on offense has almost […]

Bo Nix – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in Superflex Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB17 ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is quietly a top-10 fantasy quarterback this season. The rookie quarterback is the QB10, averaging 16.6 fantasy points per game. He has been outstanding lately, including last week in the blowout win over the Carolina Panthers. The rookie quarterback completed […]

Sterling Shepard - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) missed the team's Friday practice with a hamstring injury, and it's questionable whether he'll play at all in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Even if he does, it's a brutal matchup for him, he could be limited, and […]

Patrick Mahomes - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End QB1 ANALYSIS: Before 2023, it would have sounded insane to be considering whether or not to start Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II in fantasy football. But times change. He's just the QB21 on the season (he already had his bye week, but still), and he's not scored […]

Tua Tagovailoa – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in Superflex Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB18 ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a solid performance in his first game back from a concussion in Week 8. The veteran quarterback completed 73.7% of his pass attempts for 234 yards, one touchdown, and 14.7 fantasy points against the Arizona Cardinals. Unfortunately, he had […]

Justice Hill - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has too little of a consistent role to be worth starting in fantasy football lineups this week. His only games scoring double-digit fantasy points came with receiving touchdowns or heavy passing-game usage, which clearly isn't consistent.  We really got king Henry Justice […]

Dak Prescott - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End QB1 ANALYSIS: This season has likely challenged what many NFL fans think of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. He was seen as an elite QB1 coming into the season, but hasn't lived up to expectations. He's also just the QB19, which is a surprise, even though he's already had […]

Geno Smith - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith easily had the worst game of his 2024 season in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. He completed 21 of 29 passes for 212 yards and one interception while rushing five times for 16 yards. The Bills have a […]

Caleb Williams - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team 1QB Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: After a two-game stretch in which Chicago Bears running back Caleb Williams threw for 530 passing yards, five touchdowns, and one interception and rushed for 90 yards, the rookie put up another dud in Week 8, completing just 10 of 24 passes for […]

Jake Ferguson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End TE1 ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson had another disappointing game against the San Francisco 49ers after he gained just 23 receiving yards from six catches on eight targets. Ferguson had his second-straight low-yardage game after gaining just 11 receiving yards in Week 6. Jake Ferguson an animal […]

Rome Odunze - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: The problem isn't Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze; the problem is quarterback Caleb Williams. Odunze has not looked bad on tape and is doing a fine job getting open (at least against some of the league's softer secondaries), but Williams has struggled. When a […]

Austin Ekeler - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders' running back Austin Ekeler became a less interesting start recently. After establishing a solid receiving role through his first five games and scoring double-digit PPR fantasy points in each, he's only logged nine receiving yards and four catches in his last two games. Austin Ekeler dominated […]

Noah Fant - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2 ANALYSIS: A good tight-end streamer this week, Noah Fant could be worth a start for managers needing help at the position. Though he has not been a red-zone target since Week 1, Fant has seen relatively consistent usage. Despite limited scoring opportunities, he has notched […]

Tyler Allgeier - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: You should start Tyler Allgeier this week as the Atlanta Falcons face the Dallas Cowboys. He is more of an RB3 or flex play, but his touchdown potential makes him an intriguing option. While Bijan Robinson leads the backfield, Allgeier still has allure, especially […]

Zach Ertz - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End TE1/High-End TE2 ANALYSIS: In Week 8 against the Bears, Zach Ertz's 11 targets were a season-high, as he brought in seven catches for 77 yards. With Jayden Daniels at quarterback, Ertz has been a steady contributor, posting double-digit fantasy points in PPR formats over his […]

Mike Gesicki - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2 ANALYSIS: Starting Mike Gesicki of the Cincinnati Bengals this week depends heavily on the status of Tee Higgins. With Higgins sidelined in Week 8, Gesicki stepped up as a prime target in the passing game, boasting a 60% route share and a solid 21.6% target […]
