Jalen Coker fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 9 (2024). Should you start or sit Jalen Coker for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Roster Coker, but don't start him outside the deepest of leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: With wide receiver Diontae Johnson now in Baltimore, Adam Thielen still on injured reserve, and rookie Xavier Legette being banged up at times, a path has opened up for Jalen Coker to produce for fantasy. An undrafted rookie free agent from Holy Cross, Coker burst onto the scene against the Denver Broncos in Week 8 with four receptions for 78 yards and one touchdown.

While we should temper expectations with the Panthers offense and quarterback Bryce Young, it is notable that the Saints will be missing two of their top cornerbacks and have fallen to 2-6 after starting 2-0.
Coker is worth rostering at this point, but we just need to see a little more consistency to feel good about him in our lineups each week.

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. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
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 […]
