Demarcus Robinson A Full Participant On Thursday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (hip) has been dealing with a hip issue which caused him to be a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. The good news, for the injury-riddled Rams, is that he was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday and he's trending in the right direction. With Cooper Kupp […]

Gameweek 7 Preview - Fantasy Premier League 2024-25 Tips and Captaincy Picks

Cole Palmer's 25-point haul, where he netted four goals against the Seagulls, was the major highlight of Gameweek 6.

The FPL Challenge […]

Bijan Robinson Fails To Score In Overtime Win

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was more efficient on the ground this week but was unable to turn it into a big fantasy outing as the team grabbed a hard-fought win in overtime over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Brandon Aiyuk - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2/WR3 with upside ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers of San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk are tired of hearing the "Jeopardy!" music playing in their heads constantly. Aiyuk has had plenty of chances to get it going but hasn't been able to, for whatever reason. It can't feel good to see […]

Jonathan Taylor "Likely Misses Time" With Ankle Injury

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has not practiced at all yet this week as he's dealing with what everyone is calling a "mild high-ankle sprain."

Tee Higgins - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2/WR3 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is a good receiver on a good offense with a good quarterback. Sometimes it's that simple. He'll play a tough Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 5, but that shouldn't deter fantasy managers. The Higgins-Joe Burrow combo can have a good game against […]

D'Andre Swift - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift finally had a good game in 2024. He's not a good running back, though. Luckily for him, he gets to face the Carolina Panthers, who have an awful run defense. They lost their best run defender, defensive tackle Derrick Brown, who was […]

Justice Hill - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Always starting players after big games without reading into the context of what happened is a way to get bad or at best inconsistent, fantasy production.

Devin Singletary - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: It looks like New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is set to miss the Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks, who boast a good defense (when healthy). This is terrible news. New York doesn't have much of an offense without Nabers, and none of its receivers […]

Jauan Jennings - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Jauan Jennings appears to be in the midst of a breakout campaign to start 2024.

Justin Fields Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 5 - Can We Trust Him in Lineups?

Is Justin Fields good at football? Maybe. Was he a great acquisition for a sixth-round pick? Absolutely. The Steelers were arguably the most surprising 3-0 team heading into last week. Although they always seem to have a winning record, going 3-0 with only three offensive touchdowns was anything but normal. Last week, Fields had his […]
