Cole Kmet - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: Nothing is better than simple and to-the-point start/sit advice. On an unrelated note, nothing is worse than the fantasy football tight end landscape in 2024. When the most miserable position in the game is top-12 at his position, you start him. Notre Dame’s Cole […]

Jerry Jeudy - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has a big problem, and it's not his fault. It's his quarterback's fault. Deshaun Watson is so, so bad. Incomprehensibly bad. Receivers can only do so much when they have terrible, horrible, no good, very bad people throwing them the ball. Deshaun […]

Michael Wilson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson isn't a tough puzzle to crack. He's fantastic against zone coverage and terrible against man coverage. So if he gets manned up, he probably won't do much, but if the defense opts for zone, he can smash. His […]

Quentin Johnston - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston had two nice games, but they were on the backs of touchdowns. He's in a low passing volume offense and doesn't get good target volume. Receivers on run-heavy teams are limited by this. He's also not the primary target for QB […]

Another wide receiver, another round of swirling trade rumors. Seems like it happens to all of them.

NFL Trade Rumors: Will DeAndre Hopkins Be Traded This Season? Fantasy Football Outlook

Yes, even the venerable Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been the subject of trade speculation in the media this season. He's 32 years old, coming off an MCL injury, and has yet to make a difference for the Titans this season, but losing teams have an incentive to trade players away. Acquiring more […]

NFL Trade Rumors: Will George Pickens Be Traded This Season? Fantasy Football Outlook

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens isn't quite living up to the preseason hype he received. He has yet to catch a touchdown and has broken 15 PPR fantasy points just once this year.

NFL Trade Rumors: Will Diontae Johnson Be Traded This Season? Fantasy Football Outlook

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has had a solid season so far.

Is Travis Etienne Or Tank Bigsby the Jaguars Starting Running Back? Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. hasn't lived up to the expectations he was taken within fantasy drafts.

However, he averaged only 10.2 points in 2023-24 and sustained a season-ending shoulder injury, resulting in a procedure in April. Huerter […]

Tyler Allgeier Could Crack Double-Digit Attempts Against Carolina

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has yet to accumulate double-digit rush attempts in a game this season, but with Bijan Robinson popping up on Thursday's injury report with a hamstring injury, perhaps this is the week he helps spell Robinson a few extra snaps.
