Diontae Johnson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ribs) is a frustrating player to own. He's been very boom-or-bust in the games when Andy Dalton (thumb) has started, and the offense as a whole fails to show up sometimes. He has scored 19 or more PPR fantasy points in three […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (10/26/24)

We have a lighter Saturday with many teams taking in mid-season off weeks and one team (UMass) slumming in FCS. We still have a solid 47-game slate to keep us occupied. I already missed one max bet last night (Old freaking Dominion, of course), so I have some ground to make up already. I never […]

Xavier Worthy - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Outside of touchdowns, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy hasn't had a ton of value to fantasy managers, but since the slew of injuries to KC's WR corps, Worthy has at least seen an uptick in targets. He hasn't gotten an increase in playing time, though.  On […]

Cole Kmet - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is currently the TE3 in full-PPR scoring, and he plays at one of the easiest positions for fantasy managers to make choices in start/sit decisions. You pretty much start the guys who are actually doing stuff, because most TEs are hardly doing […]

Week 8 DraftKings NFL DFS Picks - Main Slate (2024): Jordan Love, Joe Mixon, Drake London, and more

Welcome back, RotoBallers! I hope you guys are pumped for an exciting Week 8 Main Slate on DraftKings. With no bye weeks and no London game, we get a jam-packed Week 8 slate. Despite all those matchups on the board, I'd argue there are few true "obvious" environments for guaranteed DFS fireworks. Throw in a […]

Keon Coleman - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman finally had his breakout game in Week 7, recording four catches on seven targets for 125 yards. The target numbers are encouraging as is the efficiency, though that's less likely to be repeated. He made several huge plays, […]

Ladd McConkey - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hip) may not play in Week 8. He missed practice on Thursday. But if he does, he's a low-end WR3 option in PPR leagues. He's a great player, but he has Greg Roman as his offensive […]

Alexander Mattison (RB, LV) - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit if you can POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison is an inefficient running back (3.62 yards per carry) on a losing team (2-5) with a depleted roster -- starting QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) is on injured reserve, WR1 Davante Adams left for the New York Jets, and […]

Rico Dowdle - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: While he didn't have his best game in the Week 6 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle has had some incredibly encouraging things going for him in recent weeks. For one, fellow RB Ezekiel Elliott has looked completely washed, […]

We did it, folks. We made it to the final series of the baseball season. The 2024 World Series will be a bi-coastal battle between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Two teams with very different rosters from top to bottom, but noticeably in the bullpens as well. The Dodgers had some […]

Free Week 8 NFL Betting Picks and Expert Predictions

Well, unfortunately, we failed to keep our momentum rolling and had a 0-2 record last week. The Vikings couldn't close out the Lions late and lost on a last-second field goal. We also had a tough loss with Green Bay winning but missing a cover by half a point. That’s the second time we’ve lost […]

"134 teams & not 1 good 1" led the group with 46 points this week. "Weinhund's Winners" was the only other entry to get 40. The logjam started after that, but there were a couple of shakeups at the top. "IUBB1!" leads the group for the second straight week with 308 points. "mr_richard" is in […]

Jalen Tolbert - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert was significantly quieter in the Week 6 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions than he was in his "breakout" game in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, that 21.7 PPR point effort shouldn't be ignored. Tolbert […]

Could the Celtics Acquire Kevin Love?

As it is, the Boston Celtics have one of the best starting line-ups in the NBA this year. Imagine having to start against Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White. The Celtics' bench, however, presents a bigger problem for Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla. How big of a problem? In the […]

NFL DFS: FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Picks for Week 8 - Top Lineup Plays Include Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, Travis Kelce, Jordan Love

It was a rough Week 7 for some teams around the National Football League. However, it may have been worse for the 49ers, with the team losing Brandon Aiyuk for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign. The Commanders also saw Jayden Daniels go down with a rib injury. Fortunately for Washington, the rookie may not […]

Tucker Kraft - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End TE1 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft is now the TE4 in full-PPR scoring, and while he's done that on the back of four touchdowns in the last four games, it's encouraging to see him have such a high snap count and route participation. He's now had […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/WR5 ANALYSIS: It's still a bit difficult to trust Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen. He did have two touchdowns last week, but he has yet to have more than six targets in a game since returning from his injury. He faced one of the worst […]

DeForest Buckner Logs Full Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (ankle) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. The veteran defender was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday and remains eligible to practice without being activated until November 13. Of course, the Colts could opt to activate him prior to that deadline, perhaps as early […]

Roman Wilson Sidelined As Week 8 Prep Begins

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson (hamstring) did not participate in practice on Thursday. As the Steelers prepare for Week 8 against the New York Giants, it appears they could be without their rookie wide receiver. The 23-year-old has offered minimal contributions so far this season, appearing in just one game amidst absences caused by […]
