Michael Wilson fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 9 (2024). Should you start or sit Michael Wilson for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Keep Wilson on your bench, but don't start him outside the deepest of leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Michael Wilson has shown some flashes this year but has just two games with seven-plus targets. He's found the end zone three times but has just two games with 60-plus receiving yards. The talent is there, but he's clearly No. 3 in the pecking order on the Arizona Cardinals, and there just isn't enough volume to go around.

Wilson comes into Week 9 sitting at WR55 in fantasy points per game, with three weeks where he’s managed WR3-level production. He’s seen three red zone targets over his last four games and ranks second on the team in deep targets with six.
Chicago’s secondary has been leaky when it comes to deep passes since Week 4, giving up the 13th-highest adjusted completion rate, the 12th-highest passer rating, and the 11th-most passing yards per game on deep throws.
Wilson is a deeper flex play for Week 9 if you’re in need, but temper those expectations.

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 […]
