Jared Goff fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sitJared Goff for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1
ANALYSIS: It wasn't the best fantasy game for Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff in Week 1. Goff only scored 12.4 fantasy points against the Los Angeles Rams and finished as the QB18 on the week. However, a better game should be in store for the 29-year-old signal-caller against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend.
In two games against the Buccaneers last year, Goff scored 22.4 fantasy points (Week 6) and 20.1 fantasy points (Divisional Round). Both games also saw the Lions quarterback throw for at least two touchdowns and 285 yards. On top of that, he has been a statistically better fantasy quarterback at home than on the road, as he has scored at least 20 fantasy points in seven of his last 12 regular season games.

As a result, Goff is a strong play in most one-quarterback leagues and all Superflex formats on Sunday. So, get him into your starting lineups this week because he has a great matchup at home against the Buccaneers.

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 […]
