BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR20 ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is one of the more underrated pass catchers in the NFL.

Chris Olave - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

He had a season-high in targets with 10 in Week 4, catching eight of them for 87 yards.

He's been the 15th-highest-scoring WR […]

Chuba Hubbard - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is surprising fantasy managers in a big way with his play to start the 2024 season (don't worry, the first two games weren't real, Bryce Young was an illusion, Andy Dalton is Jesus Christ). Hubbard has two straight games of 20+ PPR […]

George Pickens - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens hasn't been the most exciting player to watch, and the Steelers' offense tries its best to play as little football as possible by constantly running the ball and grinding the clock down, but Pickens is still a solid player to start in […]

Jaylen Waddle - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Managers of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle don't have a silver lining to their situation. Waddle is a sit if QB Tua Tagovailoa doesn't play. There weren't the kind of huge near-misses we saw with Tyreek Hill. Waddle managers will have to wait until Tua's return. Jaylen […]
