Daniel Jones- Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in Superflex Formats POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has been a solid QB2 in Superflex formats through the first four weeks. He has finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback in two of four games this season and scored above 18 fantasy points in both of those contests. […]

Mike Gesicki - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: Through the first three weeks, Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki looked like a strong weekly play. He caught at least four passes in Week 2 and Week 3. However, Gesicki played a season-low 33% of the team's offensive snaps last week. That led […]

Ezekiel Elliott- Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 20+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers can't trust any Cowboys running back at this point of the season, especially Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott has played only 25 combined snaps over the past two weeks. In those games, he ran eight times for 25 yards while catching just two passes […]

Dontayvion Wicks - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End WR2 ANALYSIS: Dontayvion Wicks was a popular waiver addition this week. He’s coming off his best game of the season after putting up a 5-78-2 line against the Minnesota Vikings. Love to Wicks again! #MINvsGB pic.twitter.com/NOYEmbUCOO — Green Bay Packers (@packers) September 29, 2024 With […]

Wan'Dale Robinson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex Play ANALYSIS: Wan'Dale Robinson has been one of the early surprises so far in the 2024 season. He is tied for fourth in the league in targets and is currently the PPR WR22. Daniel Jones' second TD goes to Wan'Dale Robinson! 📺: #NYGvsWAS on […]

Diontae Johnson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end WR1 ANALYSIS: What a difference quality quarterback play makes for a talented receiver. Diontae Johnson looked like he was headed for another down season with Bryce Young leading Carolina’s offense. However, things changed when Young was benched, and Andy Dalton was named the starter. Johnson has […]

Amari Cooper - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Midrange WR2 ANALYSIS: 2024 has not been kind to Amari Cooper. Four weeks into the season, and He’s only the WR41 on the year. Much of the blame can be placed on the struggles of Cleveland’s starting quarterback, Deshaun Watson. However, the Browns offense draws the matchup […]

Javonte Williams - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ TeamLeagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Backend RB2/Flex Play ANALYSIS: Williams has struggled so far in 2024. He’s only averaging 3.2 yards per carry and has yet to find the endzone. However, he is coming off his best game of the season this past week during an upset victory over the New York […]

Brandon Aiyuk - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2/WR3 with upside ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers of San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk are tired of hearing the "Jeopardy!" music playing in their heads constantly. Aiyuk has had plenty of chances to get it going but hasn't been able to, for whatever reason. It can't feel good to see […]

Tee Higgins - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2/WR3 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is a good receiver on a good offense with a good quarterback. Sometimes it's that simple. He'll play a tough Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 5, but that shouldn't deter fantasy managers. The Higgins-Joe Burrow combo can have a good game against […]

D'Andre Swift - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift finally had a good game in 2024. He's not a good running back, though. Luckily for him, he gets to face the Carolina Panthers, who have an awful run defense. They lost their best run defender, defensive tackle Derrick Brown, who was […]

Justice Hill - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Always starting players after big games without reading into the context of what happened is a way to get bad or at best inconsistent, fantasy production. Justice Hill benefited from a positive game script in the blowout of the Buffalo Bills in Week 4, and it's hard to […]

Devin Singletary - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: It looks like New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is set to miss the Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks, who boast a good defense (when healthy). This is terrible news. New York doesn't have much of an offense without Nabers, and none of its receivers […]

Jauan Jennings - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Jauan Jennings appears to be in the midst of a breakout campaign to start 2024. After not being a fantasy factor for his career to this point, Jennings torched the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, catching 11 passes for 175 yards and three […]

Alexander Mattison - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison has outplayed lead back Zamir White, and head coach Antonio Pierce seemed to agree with this sentiment. Pierce stated that Mattison had earned more opportunities for work in the backfield in a recent news conference. #Raiders HC Antonio Pierce on Alexander […]

Trey Sermon - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues (if Jonathan Taylor doesn't play) POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 (if Taylor is out) or RB6 (if Taylor plays) ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts running back Trey Sermon could be getting ready to start in place of lead running back Jonathan Taylor. Taylor sprained his ankle in Week 4, and there's a […]

Jeremy McNichols - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4/RB5 ANALYSIS: Mostly unknown Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols burst onto the scene in a big way in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals, scoring 20.40 PPR fantasy points on the back of eight rushes for 68 yards and two touchdowns along with one reception for six yards. The […]

Zach Charbonnet - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: The Seattle Seahawks running back situation is pretty simple -- if lead RB Kenneth Walker III plays, you start him and you sit backup Zach Charbonnet (outside of deeper leagues). Charb's value when Walker plays is mostly through his passing work, which to his […]

Tank Dell - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell had a fantastic 2023 before breaking his leg. That and an unfortunate incident where he was shot in the offseason didn't help his start to 2024, and those significant injuries are likely still affecting him. The whole Texans offense has been mildly […]

Jakobi Meyers - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/WR5 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers will be the presumptive lead WR for the Raiders in Week 5 when they face the Denver Broncos. That's the problem (the Denver part, not the lead WR part). The Broncos are a brutal defense for opposing wide receivers in fantasy […]

Najee Harris - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is the least exciting player to start in fantasy football who can still get you some points. He averages just 3.35 yards per carry on the season, but Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith doesn't care. He will use […]

Rico Dowdle - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4/RB5 ANALYSIS: The Pittsburgh Steelers are not a team against whom you want to start a running back who's averaging 3.9 yards per carry and has less than 40 PPR fantasy points on the season. Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle didn't earn starter reps until his team decided it […]

Braelon Allen - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: It's too easy to get swept up in the "He's gonna take over the backfield, he's better than the starter" narratives, but don't let it happen. Especially not before an international game against one of the best defenses in the NFL. The New York Jets will take on […]

Pat Freiermuth - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: How is Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth the TE5 in PPR right now? Well, it's because the TE5 should be the TE10, but we live in a time of abject poverty at the tight-end position. The position has taken a U-turn this season and brought things back […]

Antonio Gibson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson's new contract couldn't help him from catching a case of Fumbleitis, and that means backup running back Antonio Gibson, known ironically for fumbling often, could get an extra look by the Patriots coaching staff. Antonio Gibson is literally the only running […]

Cam Akers - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: It doesn't matter if a running back is projected to have great volume because of injuries at the position. He can still be sat. Houston Texans running back Cam Akers was bad last year, has been bad this year, and has two Achilles tendon tears on his injury […]

Keon Coleman - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/WR5 ANALYSIS: The list of reasons Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman isn't worth starting is pretty long. For one, Joe Brady is the offensive coordinator. Brady likes to run the ball and throw it to RB James Cook. When that doesn't work, the Bills usually lose (see last week […]

De'Von Achane - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Borderline Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane, after being a clear must-start through the first two weeks, is now much more questionable due to the team's offensive situation. The absence of starting QB Tua Tagovailoa has turned Miami's best offensive playmakers from set-and-forget studs to massive headaches. The […]

Justin Watson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5/WR6 ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has a significant knee injury and will miss at least a few games. Does this mean other Chiefs receivers are worth picking up and starting? It doesn't. Justin Watson has been in the NFL for six full seasons now and has […]
