Tyler Lockett - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (oblique) had what was easily his worst game of the season in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo's stingy pass defense limited him to just one catch on three targets for nine yards, good for 1.9 PPR […]

Khalil Shakir - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 (PPR)/WR3 (Non-PPR) ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir put to rest any suspicions that his role may be reduced with the addition of WR Amari Cooper to the roster. Shakir was targeted 10 times, catching nine passes for 107 yards, against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8. It […]

Jonathan Taylor - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1 ANALYSIS: Outside of the most absurd taco leagues and joke fantasy football groups, there isn't a single roster where you should consider benching Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. He's one of the best RBs in the league in a workhorse role with a good offense and good offensive […]

Marvin Harrison Jr. - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. had a slow start to the season, followed by a few huge games, then dipped back to minimal production before a Week 8 "breakout" game of sorts. He caught six of seven targets for 111 yards and one touchdown against the […]

Chris Olave - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave won't have fellow WR Rashid Shaheed to compete with for targets anymore, and his QB1, Derek Carr (oblique), seems set to return in Week 9. This gives Olave excellent upside, and barring something unexpected, he should be a target hog moving […]

Tank Bigsby - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) had another solid workload in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers. He was the primary running back in the absence of Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) and handled 18 carries for 78 yards while catching two passes on three targets for […]

Nick Chubb - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb scored just 5.2 PPR fantasy points in last week's shocking upset win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was still on a snap count, since it was his second game back after suffering a season-ending knee injury early in the 2023 season. #Browns […]

Tank Dell – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR24 ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell had an impressive rookie year before suffering a season-ending injury. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been as good in 2024, ranking as the WR58 for the season, averaging 7.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The second-year wide receiver has […]

Davante Adams – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR21 ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams hasn’t had an ideal 2024 fantasy football season. The star wide receiver is the WR62 for the year, averaging 9.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He averaged nine targets and 12 fantasy points per game with […]

Xavier Hutchinson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR8 ANALYSIS: Xavier Hutchinson is a sit for Week 9 as the Houston Texans face the New York Jets. With Stefon Diggs out for the season with a torn ACL and Nico Collins on injured reserve for the moment, opportunities have opened up. However, the 24-year-old is […]

C.J. Stroud – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in Superflex Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB18 ANALYSIS: Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had massive expectations this year after an impressive rookie season. The Texans added multiple weapons in the offseason, trading for Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon. Unfortunately, Stroud hasn’t lived up to the expectations. The former Ohio State star is the […]

Aaron Rodgers – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in Superflex Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB24 ANALYSIS: New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ days as a fantasy football QB1 are over. However, the future Hall of Famer is still an excellent QB2 option for fantasy players in superflex leagues. He is the QB16 for the year, averaging 14.5 fantasy points per game. […]

John Metchie III - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR6 ANALYSIS: John Metchie III is worth stashing in fantasy football, but he should not be in your starting lineup this week. With Stefon Diggs out for the season and Nico Collins on injured reserve, the Texans will rely heavily on Tank Dell, who looks to be […]

Robert Woods - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR8 ANALYSIS: After missing Weeks 6 and 7 due to a foot injury, Robert Woods returned to action for the Houston Texans in Week 8 but had a modest performance. He caught both his targets for 18 yards in the Texans' 23-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts. […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE3 ANALYSIS: Tight end Tyler Conklin of the New York Jets has scored in consecutive games, but his Week 9 matchup facing the Houston Texans is far from ideal. With Davante Adams added to the Jets' roster, Aaron Rodgers has another go-to target. This addition should further […]

Dalton Schultz - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End TE1/High-End TE2 ANALYSIS: A start this week across all leagues is tight end Dalton Schultz of the Houston Texans. With Stefon Diggs out for the season (ACL) and Nico Collins still sidelined, the Texans are short on receiving options. Although Schultz will face the New York […]

Braelon Allen - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 8-12 Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Braelon Allen made a splash in Week 8 with a season-high 12 carries in the New York Jets' loss to the New England Patriots. The rookie totaled 32 rushing yards and a touchdown in that contest. Playing on 30.7% of snaps, Allen saw two […]

Ezekiel Elliott - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the RB58 in full-PPR on the season. He's taken a backseat to fellow RB Rico Dowdle and might be about to participate in a disgusting three-way commitee -- former Minnesota Vikings star RB Dalvin Cook is joining the fray, and was […]

Jacob Cowing - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5/WR6 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing could have fantasy value if a lot of things went right. If fellow WRs Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist/illness) and Ricky Pearsall didn't start, he might be worth a start. Or if head coach and playcaller Kyle Shanahan liked using rookies more. But neither […]

Dalvin Cook - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB6/RB (insert bigger number here) ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook was elevated to the active roster for Sunday Night Football in Week 8. That's interesting news, but he should not be started in any leagues right now. He took first-team reps in practice, but will face a stout […]

Tyler Boyd - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd will presumably step into the WR2 role now that DeAndre Hopkins has departed for the Kansas City Chiefs. This doesn't mean that he's worth starting in fantasy football. None of the Titans' receivers this year have been trustworthy as starts in any […]

Andrei Iosivas - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas could have a decent role if fellow WR Tee Higgins (quad) isn't able to play in Week 8, but in the two games Higgins missed to start the season, Iosivas had just five receptions for 33 yards. He did score touchdowns, but […]

Tim Patrick - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: The Detroit Lions offense has been firing on all cylinders lately, making their wide receivers intriguing options for fantasy football. However, Tim Patrick should not be one of your starting choices this week. Patrick is likely to see minimal involvement in the offense, even with […]

Bo Nix- Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been a sneaky QB1 option in recent weeks, thanks to his rushing upside. Nix has finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback in two of the past three games while rushing for at least 60 yards in back-to-back contests. […]

Zack Moss - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss has seen fewer opportunities in recent weeks, as Chase Brown has overtaken him for the RB1 job in this offense. Moss has played under 50% of the team's offensive snaps in back-to-back games and has been out-touched (29 […]

Jared Goff - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been on another level over the past few weeks. Goff is averaging 23.7 fantasy points per game across the last three games. In each of those contests, he threw for at least 280 yards and two touchdowns and […]

Michael Pittman Jr. – Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR41 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is the WR32 for the year, averaging 8.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The former USC star has averaged 6.8 targets and 11.3 fantasy points per game over the past four weeks, scoring 11 or more […]

Garrett Wilson – Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR26 ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson had high expectations this season. The former Ohio State star was finally going to play with Aaron Rodgers. The third-year pro is the WR11, averaging 12.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He had 46 receptions on […]

Dalton Kincaid - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: It has been a disappointing start to the season for Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid. He has finished as a top-10 fantasy tight end just once over the last four games and currently ranks as the TE13 on the year. Last week, Kincaid […]
