Kendrick Bourne fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 6 (2024). Should you start or sit Kendrick Bourne for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR6
ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) is expected to play in Week 6 when his team takes on the Houston Texans, but he isn't worth starting. It's not known how close he is to full health, and with a new starting quarterback in rookie Drake Maye, New England's offense could be very unpredictable.

There's little to suggest that he'd be worthy of a starting spot. He's never finished better than WR31 in full-PPR scoring in his career, and that was in 2021. He played 16 games in 2022 yet finished as the WR83. He's listed as the second receiver on the depth chart, but he's recovering from an ACL tear, and likely won't see much of a workload.
It's possible he doesn't see the field much at all. He was only in the game for 15 snaps in total, and his workload should be ramped up gradually. A receiver who has never been great coming off this kind of injury who's nearly 30 years old with a new quarterback shouldn't be on rosters in most leagues and should be sat if he is.

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 […]
