Brian Robinson Jr. - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: While Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is in a committee with fellow RB Austin Ekeler, he's the clear lead back, out-touching Ekeler in both games and serving as the primary RB on early downs.

Najee Harris - Week 3 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 picked up where he left off in 2023, as a plodder handling a huge workload but failing to find much efficiency.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end QB1 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold has looked quite sharp through the first two weeks of the regular season and should be viewed as a low-end QB1 in this weekend as he will face the Houston Texans.

BALLER MOVE: Start in Deeper (14+ Team) Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely exploded in Week 1 for eight catches for 111 yards and a touchdown, narrowly missing catching the game-tying touchdown as regulation expired.

BALLER MOVE: Sit in Standard 10-12 team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver started 2024 looking like his old self, being targeted seven times and hauling in six passes for 77 yards.

BALLER MOVE: Consider in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: D'Andre Swift has busted two weeks in a row and may be on the path toward season-long mediocrity.

BALLER MOVE: Start in Chasmic Leagues (20+ Teams) POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Wait what... Britain who? Covery? Covey?

Rico Dowdle - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle did the thing again. He's leading fantasy managers to believe he could take over the Cowboys backfield.

James Conner - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1/2 ANALYSIS: James Conner has been exactly what fantasy managers envisioned when they drafted him.

Brian Thomas Jr. - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk is really struggling, which has helped rookie wideout Brian Thomas Jr. get off to a strong start.

Christian Kirk - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: It's not time to abandon ship completely on Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk, but he's barely a viable WR4 play in Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills. The addition of Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr. has really impacted Kirk's performance this […]

Terry McLaurin - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Last year, the Washington Commanders were one of the most pass-happy teams in the NFL.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: There are two ways of thinking about Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed this week.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues (if both Pierce and Mixon are OUT) POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex** ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back Cam Akers could see opportunity knocking.
