Patrick Mahomes - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End QB1 ANALYSIS: Before 2023, it would have sounded insane to be considering whether or not to start Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II in fantasy football. But times change. He's just the QB21 on the season (he already had his bye week, but still), and he's not scored […]

De'Andre Hunter Set To Miss Fourth Consecutive Game

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been ruled out for the fourth consecutive game while he continues to go through injury management on his right knee.

BALLER MOVE: Start in Superflex Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB18 ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a solid performance in his first game back from a concussion in Week 8.

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (concussion) continues to progress well and barring a setback, is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders according to Pat Leonard of NYDN Sports.

Justice Hill - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has too little of a consistent role to be worth starting in fantasy football lineups this week. His only games scoring double-digit fantasy points came with receiving touchdowns or heavy passing-game usage, which clearly isn't consistent.  We really got king Henry Justice […]

Dak Prescott - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End QB1 ANALYSIS: This season has likely challenged what many NFL fans think of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. He was seen as an elite QB1 coming into the season, but hasn't lived up to expectations. He's also just the QB19, which is a surprise, even though he's already had […]

Immanuel Quickley Doubtful To Play On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) has received a doubtful designation heading into their Friday contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. After taking a hard fall in their opening game, Quickley hasn't been able to get back on the court yet and it looks like he'll miss at least one more game. Gradey Dick and […]

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (shoulder) is currently dealing with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder and has officially received a questionable tag for Friday night. The star guard has yet to miss a game this year and has played a huge part in guiding the Bulls to a 3-2 record so far. […]

Caleb Williams - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team 1QB Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: After a two-game stretch in which Chicago Bears running back Caleb Williams threw for 530 passing yards, five touchdowns, and one interception and rushed for 90 yards, the rookie put up another dud in Week 8, completing just 10 of 24 passes for […]

Brandon Miller Questionable Against Celtics

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (glute) has a chance to return on Friday after suffering a glute strain during their first game of the season. The second-year wing is a big part of the team's future, so the Hornets are always going to err on the cautious side. This is the first time he's received […]

Jake Ferguson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End TE1 ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson had another disappointing game against the San Francisco 49ers after he gained just 23 receiving yards from six catches on eight targets.

Rome Odunze - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: The problem isn't Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze; the problem is quarterback Caleb Williams. Odunze has not looked bad on tape and is doing a fine job getting open (at least against some of the league's softer secondaries), but Williams has struggled. When a […]

Austin Ekeler - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders' running back Austin Ekeler became a less interesting start recently. After establishing a solid receiving role through his first five games and scoring double-digit PPR fantasy points in each, he's only logged nine receiving yards and four catches in his last two games. Austin Ekeler dominated […]

Jake Ferguson A Low-End TE1 In Week 9

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson hasn't been able to produce a big outing over the last couple of weeks. Week 8 was the first time he received a target share of more than 20% and failed to finish in TE1 territory. He even had the highest snap percentage of the season in that game, […]
