Ja'Marr Chase fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Ja'Marr Chase for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR1
ANALYSIS: Ja'Marr Chase is coming off a disappointing first week that saw him finish as the PPR WR28. That’s certainly not the start gamers were hoping for, but it shouldn’t be too surprising considering all the time Chase missed this summer lobbying for a new contract.
A Week 2 match against the Kansas City Chiefs seems like a tough draw, but Kansas City only finished 21st in defensive pass DVOA in Week 1, per FTN Fantasy. However, Kansas City did finish Week 1 ninth in defensive DVOA against receivers.
Chase’s running mate, Tee Higgins, is trending toward missing another game. This would once again put Chase in a position to be the centerpiece of the Cincinnati offense.
Ja'Marr Chase FOR THE THIRD TIME.
6 CATCHES. 180 YARDS. 3 TDS.

Yes, Chase and the Bengals offense massively disappointed last week, but they still have an elite quarterback in Joe Burrow. This unit will eventually get things rolling. There's no reason to panic after one week. Chase is still an elite receiver, and it would be ill-advised to bench him. Fire him up and don’t look back.

Jaylen Warren - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start as RB2 in PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: After three seasons as the Steelers' RB2 behind Najee Harris and making zero starts, Jaylen Warren finally took the starting job in 2025 and silenced many of his critics. He admittedly got off to a slow start, but really got going following a […]
Marvin Harrison Jr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start as WR3 in 12-Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Are NFL fans being too harsh on Marvin Harrison Jr.? The Ohio State product was picked fourth overall in 2024 and had an objectively solid rookie season, which was unfortunately overshadowed by Brian Thomas Jr., Malik Nabers, and Ladd McConkey's outstanding rookie […]
David Montgomery - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: The Houston Texans shelled out a decent amount of cash, for an RB at least, to running back David Montgomery to have him join their team. He's now set to take over the Joe Mixon role, which was quite productive in 2024, before an injury essentially […]
Tony Pollard - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Pollard will be the lead back for the Tennessee Titans for yet another season. There may not be much to get excited about. While the team overhauled its coaching staff in the offseason, quarterback Cam Ward doesn't appear to have made much progress. It's controversial […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Mid-End WR2/High-End WR3 ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Chargers made an upgrade at offensive coordinator when they hired Mike McDaniel, formerly the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. L.A. is moving on from Greg Roman, who arguably leaned too run-heavy and didn't have creative schemes to get his […]
