Jerome Ford fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 6 (2024). Should you start or sit Jerome Ford for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will likely get his last crack at the starting job for his team in Week 6 when the Browns take on the Philadelphia Eagles. They're a defense allowing 21.0 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season, which is around the league median.

Ford had some great moments in 2023 and was a solid fantasy starter for a good stretch, but those days are now behind us. He hasn't been as stellar this season, and neither have the Browns. He's still the RB23 in full-PPR scoring though. His touches have been strangely limited, and he hasn't carried the ball more than 12 times in a game.
He has scored totals of 18.9 and 15.5 PPR fantasy points this season, and had seven targets each in those two games. He can have another productive game if he scores a touchdown -- though he only has one on the year -- or if he can produce a nice reception total.
His last ride will be an interesting one, and he'll likely need five or more catches to get fantasy managers' teams into gear, but there is plenty of fuel left in the tank. Seems that Cleveland would be better served to put their foot on the gas a little more with his usage -- his efficiency is pretty good at 5.21 yards per carry, and his mileage is low.

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 […]
