DeVonta Smith fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit DeVonta Smith for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 8+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is coming off a strong Week 1 showing against Green Bay, playing every snap for the Eagles and catching seven of his eight targets for 84 yards. While his upside is capped slightly by him being the clear No. 2 option behind A.J. Brown, Smith might be the best No. 2 in the NFL.
This week, Smith is set to face the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta did well against the pass last week, but a big part of that was because the Steelers had Justin Fields under center, who attempted just 23 passes and had one of the lower aDOTs in the league.
DeVonta Smith has lined up in the slot on 23% of his total snaps in the NFL.
I’d expect that percentage to be significantly higher under new OC Kellen Moore. https://t.co/RJEF3xJ7Cx

In Week 2, Jalen Hurts should be able to do more damage to this secondary. Consider Smith to be a strong WR2 option with upside who can be safely started in all formats because of his high ceiling and high floor.
UPDATE: A.J. Brown has officially been ruled OUT for Week 2

Jalen Coker - Start or Sit?
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. […]
Jameson Williams - Start or Sit?
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, […]
Alec Pierce - Start or Sit?
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. […]
Stefon Diggs - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs will begin his age-32 season with the Washington Commanders, who signed him to their team not long ago. Last season, Diggs was surprisingly efficient despite it being his first year back from an ACL tear in 2024. […]
Chris Godwin Jr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-End WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Chris Godwin has been a bit of a forgotten man in fantasy in 2026. With so much excitement surrounding other young Buccaneers wide receivers such as Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan, Godwin has slipped through the cracks. He was a virtual afterthought in […]
