David Montgomery fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit David Montgomery for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: David Montgomery is set to reprise his role as the battering ram that the Lions use between the tackles and at the goal line in Week Two as Detroit takes on Tampa Bay.
Last week, Monty averaged 5.4 yards per carry on his way to 91 yards and the game-winning touchdown in overtime. He out-touched Jahmyr Gibbs once again 20-15, though Gibbs also scored earlier in the game on a rare goal-line carry.

The Lions have emerged as one of the premiere running games in the NFL and there should be enough touches to go around for both backs all season.
While a backfield split is never ideal in fantasy, both of these backs are flourishing and Detroit finds themselves in another high-total game this week against the Bucs (51-point total) where we should see plenty of offense.
Monty's early-down and short-yardage role makes him a solid RB2 choice this week once again. Don't be surprised when he's able to find paydirt once again. Start him with confidence in all formats.

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 […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
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. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
