Hunter Henry Carries Momentum Into Top-12 Ranking

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has returned to the fantasy radar heading into Week 8 against the New York Jets. Henry only had one fantasy-relevant game with Jacoby Brissett as his quarterback, so he didn't appear to have a whole lot of upside when Drake Maye took over the offense. However, he quickly […]

Jake Ferguson Remains TE1 Option

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is coming off of his worst performance of the season after recording just three receptions for 11 yards in the Week 6 blowout loss to Detroit. Ferguson has yet to score a touchdown in 2024, but has generally seen strong volume and yardage totals which make him a top […]

Jalen Tolbert Is WR4/5 Option In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert remains a deep league flex option heading into Week 8's Sunday night matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Dallas looks to continue to lean on the passing game, making Tolbert the second or third option for quarterback Dak Prescott. San Francisco boasts the 11th-ranked defense against opposing receivers, creating […]

D'Andre Swift - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: After a slow start to the season, Swift has been a fantasy force in his last three games posting 26, 19, and 20 fantasy points (half-PPR scoring). While Roschon Johnson has established himself as Swift's main backup, it's been Swift who continues to lead this […]

Drake Maye Still A High-End QB2 Option Against Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye makes his first start against a divisional opponent in Week 8 when he takes on the New York Jets at home. The 22-year-old has been impressive through his first two career starts, completing 65.7 percent of his passes for 519 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also has […]

CeeDee Lamb Still Waiting On Boom Game In 2024

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has seen consistent target volume throughout the 2024 season but has only produced two touchdowns and no 100-yard games through the first six games. Last year's overall WR1 should see heavy volume again in Week 8 on Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers. The matchup isn't ideal, as […]

Tyler Seguin Turns Back The Clock With Three-Point Effort

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin reminded everybody how good he can be on Thursday, completing a revenge game against the Bruins with three points. The Stars rocked the Bruins in Boston with a 5-2 victory, and Seguin had one goal and two assists against his former team. He finished off a flurry of three power-play […]

Demario Douglas Still A Solid Volume-Based Play

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas remains an appealing fantasy option given his volume within the offense. Although he was only targeted three times last week, that was likely a product of Douglas battling an illness and missing some key snaps. In the two weeks prior, when he was fully healthy, he had totaled […]

Kayshon Boutte Not Yet Dependable Ahead Of Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has led the position group in snaps over the last two weeks, but his low target share as a deep threat in the offense has kept him off the fantasy radar for the time being. The second-year receiver emerged out of nowhere in Drake Maye's first start in […]

Ezekiel Elliott Not In Fantasy Consideration For Week 8

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should not be considered for fantasy lineups going into Week 8's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Elliott saw 41% of snaps in Week 6 against Detroit, but was mostly in the game due to his pass-blocking utility. The veteran has been highly inefficient on the ground this season, […]

Cade Otton - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Formats POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: There's a real chance that Cade Otton will finish this week as a top-5 play at his position. The Bucs lost both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin last week in their game against Baltimore, which led to Otton finishing with a season-high eight catches on […]

Rico Dowdle In Flex Range For Week 8

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle is in flex consideration heading into Week 8's Sunday night matchup against San Francisco. The fifth-year back saw a season-low five rush attempts in his last outing against Detroit, but made up for it with five receptions due to game script. San Francisco has been middle-of-the-road against opposing running […]

Ross Colton Suffers Apparent Hand Injury Thursday

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (upper body) did not finish Thursday's 5-1 victory over Utah. He exited the contest after getting slashed on the hand. Colton, who has been in impressive form early in the season, opened the scoring with a power-play goal on Thursday. It's his fourth power-play goal of the year already, and […]

Dak Prescott Settles In As Low-End QB2 For Week 8

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had his worst performance of the season the last time we saw him. Fresh off of a bye week, Prescott and the Cowboys are back in prime time on Sunday Night Football against San Francisco in Week 8. The matchup is not ideal for Prescott, as the 49ers have allowed […]

Shea Theodore Inks Seven-Year Extension With Golden Knights

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore (illness) has agreed to a seven-year extension. He has signed a deal that's worth $51.9 million and carries an average annual value of $7.425 million.

Allen Lazard - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (chest) had his fantasy value is as but cratered by the arrival of newly-signed wide receiver Davante Adams. The seventh-year pro is now the team's WR3 behind Adams and Garrett Wilson which will mean much fewer targets going forward. #Jets WR […]

Demarcus Robinson Hauls In Two Touchdowns

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson cashed in on some open field and a great dime from Matthew Stafford in the 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He turned three targets into two receptions for 35 yards and two touchdowns. One play saw him wide open in the end zone while the other was […]

Ricky Pearsall - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: Whether or not San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has a good day will likely be dependent on opportunity, and he'll have more of it if either of his fellow WRs Deebo Samuel (wrist/illness) or Jauan Jennings (hip) aren't able to play […]

Russell Wilson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End QB1 ANALYSIS: The Pittsburgh Steelers blew out the New York Jets in Week 7 behind new starting quarterback Russell Wilson's 264 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one rushing score. The former Denver Bronco was impressed with his team debut after reclaiming the starting job from now-backup Justin Fields. […]

Jalen Nailor Quiet In Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor was quiet on the field during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Nailor hauled in two of his four targets for 16 yards in the loss. This 16-yard performance was his second worst of the season. It probably won't get better for Nailor with tight end T.J. Hockenson […]

Jordan Addison Disappoints Once Again

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison hasn't been able to give fantasy managers much value at all this season. He certainly didn't help them with his performance against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. Addison hauled in two of his three targets for 22 yards in the loss. This was his worst performance of the […]

Josh Oliver Scores In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver has seen increased playing time this season without T.J. Hockenson (knee) on the field. On Thursday, Oliver hauled in both his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Oliver hasn't done much all season and this performance was his best outing […]

Zay Flowers - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) had just one catch on one target for 11 yards in his Week 7 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
