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.
Start him.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026.
