Sam Darnold - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 1QB Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold had a good debut against the New York Giants in Week 1, tossing for 208 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. However, he is not a top-12 fantasy QB. He has very little rushing upside and is not a high-volume […]

Wan'Dale Robinson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: New York Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson had a nice start to 2024, earning 12 targets and catching six passes for 44 yards in the Giants' Week 1 opener. However, there's no reason he should continue to out-target fellow WR Malik Nabers, and 12 targets is likely not sustainable. […]

Matthew Stafford - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is a good real-life quarterback, but that doesn't always translate to fantasy scoring. He's also 36 years old and not very mobile, which is a downside for fantasy. Stafford isn't among the top-12 quarterbacks in fantasy in 2024. He's obviously a […]

Kirk Cousins - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins had a disappointing Atlanta debut as he threw for 155 yards while completing 16 of his 26 passing attempts.

Caleb Williams - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams struggled in his NFL debut and should only be started in deeper formats this weekend.

DeAndre Hopkins - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: DeAndre Hopkins is hampered by a knee sprain (now clarified by Hopkins as not a tear) and played 27% of the snaps in Week 1. The veteran wideout is off the injury report for Week 2, but that doesn't mean he should return to fantasy […]

Mark Andrews - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had a disappointing Week 1 performance. He caught just two passes (on two targets) for a mere 14 yards in their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.  Andrews was overshadowed by No.2 tight end Isiah Likely who saw […]

Jayden Reed - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: While Jayden Reed's talent is undeniable, the combination of less-than-ideal snap percentages and Jordan Love potentially missing Week 2 dampens his fantasy excitement. Malik Willis is nowhere near the talent Love is, so Reed's upside is capped, a difficult thing to say after a […]

Alexander Mattison - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in Deep PPR Leagues (14+ Team) POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Raiders running back Alexander Mattison had a nice debut for his new team, scoring 16.2 PPR fantasy points.

Tank Dell - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 with WR4 upside ANALYSIS: Tank Dell had a slow start to his season on Sunday, as he only accumulated three receptions for 40 yards (he also added two rushes for 19 yards). That performance was good for 8.90 fantasy points (PPR), and he finished as […]

Tyler Johnson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/WR5 ANALYSIS: Rams wide receiver Tyler Johnson had a solid game in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. With fellow Rams WR Puka Nacua going on injured reserve, there is more opportunity for Johnson and WRs Demarcus Robinson and Jordan Whittington to earn opportunities.

Brandin Cooks - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Flex ANALYSIS: Brandin Cooks is a compelling fantasy football option this week as the Dallas Cowboys prepare to face the New Orleans Saints.

Rhamondre Stevenson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline RB1 ANALYSIS: New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson signed a massive contract this offseason and looked to be worth every penny in his 2024 debut. Stevenson racked up 120 rushing yards and one touchdown on 25 attempts and hauled in three catches for six yards. Stevenson is the […]

Diontae Johnson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught a mere two passes for 19 yards in his Carolina debut in Week 1.

George Pickens - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has a juicy matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 2, but the quarterback situation in Pittsburgh complicates his outlook. The Steelers are set to start Justin Fields at quarterback again this week. Fields has more fantasy […]

Ja'Marr Chase - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR1 ANALYSIS: Ja'Marr Chase is coming off a disappointing first week that saw him finish as the PPR WR28.

Kyler Murray - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Mid-range QB1 ANALYSIS: Coming off a QB15 finish in Week 1, Murray will look for a better outing in Week 2.

Demarcus Robinson – Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR50 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was a popular waiver wire target after the team’s Week 1 loss to the Detroit Lions.

Mike Williams - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Formats POSITIONAL VALUE: WR7 ANALYSIS: Wide receiver Mike Williams made his Jets debut in Week 1 and the results were...bad. There's not really a better way to put it.

Allen Lazard – Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 16+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR57 ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard was a complete fantasy football afterthought entering the 2024 season. Many didn’t have him in their preseason rankings, while others cut the veteran from their dynasty teams. However, the former Iowa State star shined in the Week […]

Christian Kirk - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk is a low-end WR3 option in Week 2 against a Cleveland Browns defense that struggled to slow down the Cowboys in Week 1. It's possible we see a bounce-back effort from the defense in Week 2, but […]

Chris Olave – Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR14 ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave had high expectations entering the 2024 season.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: While Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin had a nice stretch in 2023, showing off impressive explosiveness and efficiency running and catching the ball, he had a dud in Week 1, scoring just 5.8 PPR fantasy points.

Joshua Palmer - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4+ ANALYSIS: After significant buzz that Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer could be QB Justin Herbert's primary target in 2024, Palmer disappointed massively in Week 1, recording just two catches on four targets for 15 yards and no touchdowns. Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh showed his penchant for […]

Davante Adams - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: While Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams could be heading for another disappointing season, his managers don't have much choice but to start him.
