Gus Edwards - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is coming off an 18-carry game in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. However, Edwards totaled just 3.28 yards per carry and finished the contest with 59 rush yards. Now, he'll face a tough Pittsburgh Steelers defense […]

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. In Week 1 against Miami, Thomas caught all four of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. Then last week […]

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. This year is a different story, with the team currently tied for 20th in pass attempts. That's led to a rough start to the season for Terry McLaurin, who […]

Sam LaPorta Needs To Bounce Back

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has been off to an extremely slow start to begin the 2024 season. Last week, quarterback Jared Goff threw for over 300 yards, but LaPorta finished with two receptions for 13 yards in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers expected much more from LaPorta who recorded […]

David Montgomery On RB2 Radar

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery has been able to salvage his fantasy value by finding the end zone through the first two weeks of the season. Last week, Montgomery struggled with 35 yards on 11 rushing attempts in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Luckily, Montgomery was able to save his value with […]

Jayden Reed - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

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. There's his expected production if Jordan Love (knee) returns from injury and there's his expected production if Malik Willis starts again. In Week 1 with Love under […]

Chuba Hubbard - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard quietly had a string of serviceable games to end the 2023 season, taking over lead RB duties after fellow RB Miles Sanders failed to produce anything on the ground. Hubbard produced nicely in Week 2 (when given more […]

Cam Akers - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

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. After his second Achilles tear in 2023, Akers was given another chance by the Texans and looked to still have some juice in the preseason. Despite this, […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Remains An Elite Option

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had plenty of success on the ground versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. The young back rushed 13 times for 84 yards all hauled in all seven of his targets for 22 yards in the loss. The Lions have made it clear early in the season that they […]

George Pickens - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens looks to rebound from a disappointing Week 2. After catching six passes for 85 yards to open the season against the Falcons, Pickens was held to two catches for 29 yards against Denver in Week 2. George Pickens […]

Diontae Johnson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start In All PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end WR2 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has disappointed massively to start 2024, but it's not his fault. Nobody was capable of producing in an offense led by Bryce Young. After the worst rookie season for a QB of all time, Young was set […]

Jaleel McLaughlin - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: The spark that Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin provided to the Broncos offense in relief of Javonte Williams last season appears to be gone. While it might not be entirely McLaughlin's fault, he hasn't produced at all. McLaughlin committed a costly fumble in Week 1 and saw […]

Jared Goff Looks To Bounce Back

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw for over 300 yards, but still ended up having a bad performance last week. Goff was airing it out as he completed 34-of-55 passing attempts, but he threw zero touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Goff has 524 passing yards through two games […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Returns To Full Practice

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (oblique) was able to get through a full practice session on Thursday. This is good news after Wilson opened the week with a limited session on Wednesday. Wilson is working his way back from an oblique injury he suffered during the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. […]

Roman Wilson Nearing NFL Debut?

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson (ankle) was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday but was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday, signaling that he could be on his way to making his NFL debut in Week 3 against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers unless he suffers a setback […]

Taysom Hill Returns To Limited Practice

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (chest) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday after he was held out of the first practice of the week on Wednesday. It's progress for Hill, but he could still be up in the air to play in a Week 3 home showdown against the Philadelphia […]

Matt Gay Returns To Full Practice On Thursday

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (quadriceps) did not take part in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, but he's now on track to play in Week 3 versus the Chicago Bears on Sunday after returning to a full practice participant on Thursday. Gay had surgery for a sports hernia right before the start […]

Josh Downs Continues To Practice In Full

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (ankle) said earlier this week that he expects to make his 2024 season debut this Sunday in Week 3 at Lucas Oil Stadium against the visiting Chicago Bears. Downs put in a second straight day of full practice on Thursday, meaning he's well on his way to suiting up […]

Raheem Mostert Limited Again On Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (chest) put in his second straight day of limited practice this week on Thursday after he was held out of last Thursday night's loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills on a short week. In addition, RB Jeff Wilson Jr. (oblique) upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after he […]

Dalton Schultz A Full Participant On Thursday

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) was able to practice in full on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant for the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Even though Schultz is on the Week 3 injury report, his return to a full practice on Thursday should pave the way for […]

Noah Fant Limited For Second Straight Day

Seattle Seahawks tight ends Noah Fant (toe) and Pharaoh Brown (foot) were both listed as limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week as they prepare to face off against the visiting Miami Dolphins in Week 3 at Lumen Field. Fant can't seem to shake his toe injury early this year, but […]

Tyler Lockett Continues To Put In Limited Practices

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Lockett has been on the team's injury report all year so far due to an injury that he's been managing since the middle of August. It hasn't caused the 31-year-old veteran to […]

DK Metcalf Back To Full Practice

A day after sitting out of the first practice of the week, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (hand) practiced in full on Thursday. As long as Metcalf doesn't suffer a setback with his hand on Friday, he should be good to go to play in Week 3 versus the Miami Dolphins at Lumen Field. […]

Myles Garrett Misses Another Practice

Cleveland Browns All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett (foot) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Garrett said he didn't "feel great" after injuring his foot in the team's Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and now that he's missed the first two practices of the week, fantasy managers in IDP […]

Another Missed Practice For David Njoku

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day this week. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said already this week that it's unlikely that Njoku will return in Week 3 to face the New York Giants, so it's not much of a surprise that Njoku has yet to practice this week. […]

Kenneth Walker III Does Some Running On The Side

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) wasn't with the rest of the team's RBs during early warm-ups before practice on Thursday, but he did some running off to the side again before heading indoors as practice began. It sounds as though Walker will be listed as a non-participant in practice for the second […]

C.J. Mosley Inactive For Jets On Thursday Night

The New York Jets ruled linebacker C.J. Mosley (toe) out for the Thursday night divisional showdown to kick off Week 3 against the New England Patriots. Mosley came into Thursday's contest with a questionable tag after not practicing on Wednesday, but he will sit this one out and try to get healthy for a Week […]
