Chase McLaughlin fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 6 (2024). Should you start or sit Chase McLaughlin for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: K1
ANALYSIS: It's difficult to predict kicker scoring in the NFL, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has two very big things going for him -- he's on a good offense and he's accurate. Those are the two biggest considerations fantasy managers should account for when choosing a kicker to start.
It helps that he's facing the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed 9.2 fantasy points per game to kickers, third highest in the league. Tampa Bay's offense has given McLaughlin ten opportunities to kick field goals and he's nailed all of them. He's also booted 13/14 extra point attempts through the uprights.

He's been playing lights-out this season and is an incredibly easy start-sit decision. He's been drilling kicks from over 50 yards out and looks to be playing the best football of his life. His starting job is in no danger and he's not dealing with any reported injuries.
BALLER MOVE: Sit in most leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB3 ANALYSIS: So, that was a bit of a surprise. Entering Week 1, there were hints that rookie Kaelon Black was second on San Francisco's running back depth chart, but that wasn't fully confirmed until Jordan James was a healthy scratch. Black not only won the […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receiver room was one of the most heavily discussed position groups in the fantasy community this offseason. All three wideouts were ranked closely together because some experts punted on the group and preferred not to mess with it, while others […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury he picked up in Week 1. He suffered it in that game, putting up 33.8 PPR fantasy points and easily crushing all other Panthers pass-catchers in productivity. It was a surprising performance. […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR2 With Upside ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has an abnormally high drop rate, which isn't great for his potential to earn more targets in his offense. That might not matter much, though. The Lions have a matchup with the Buffalo Bills coming up, […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in deeper 12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Risky WR3 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce broke out last season with 47 catches for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns. In the process, he easily led the NFL in yards per reception (minimum 40 receptions) and was one of its premier deep threats. […]
