Joshua Palmer Returns To Full Practice

After being limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (calf, elbow) returned to a full practice on Thursday. Palmer did not practice all of last week before missing the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now that the 25-year-old is back to practicing in […]

Justin Herbert Puts In Another Limited Practice

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday for the second straight week after aggravating a right high-ankle sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Herbert has had discussions with the team about him sitting out this weekend with the team's bye coming in […]

Braelon Allen - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: While it may be tempting to start New York Jets running back Braelon Allen, low-volume backup running backs don't tend to be good start decisions early in the season. Lead back Breece Hall still takes a lion's share of the touches, and Allen has […]

Jordan Love Listed As Limited Again

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (knee) was listed as limited in practice again on Thursday. "We'll see. We'll give him up to game time," head coach Matt LaFleur said. Love said earlier this week that he was very close to playing in the Week 3 in over the Tennessee Titans. It sounds as though […]

Demarcus Robinson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: It became apparent during the game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3 that Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, and any receiver not named Puka Nacua or Cooper Kupp, wouldn't be worth starting for the Rams this season. No L.A. pass-catcher got more than four […]

Deebo Samuel Sr. Returns To Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (calf) was in uniform and back on the practice field during the early portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. It's unclear exactly how much Samuel got done in practice, but our guess would be that he'll wind up limited on the final injury report. […]

Davante Adams Added To Week 4 Injury Report

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) was added to the Week 4 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited participant in practice. Mid-week additions to the injury report are usually never a good thing, so fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on Adams' practice status on Friday […]

Zach Ertz – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE14 ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has been a solid weapon for Jayden Daniels this season. The veteran tight end is the TE10 over the first three weeks, averaging 6.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, scoring 6.3 or more in more in back-to-back […]

Calvin Ridley - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: While Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley didn't do much in his Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers, there's a trend that fantasy managers should be noticing. Titans QB Will Levis is terrible. Ridley is still a good receiver, he's just stuck […]

DeAndre Hopkins – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR38 ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has had a slow start to the season after suffering a knee injury in training camp.

Mike Evans - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in all formats POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Unfortunately for fantasy managers of Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans, he's been outshined by fellow WR Chris Godwin to this point.

Brian Thomas Jr. – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR34 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has had a solid start to his NFL career.

Nico Collins Limited On Thursday With Hamstring Injury

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) was limited at practice on Thursday due to a hamstring injury, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the NFL. Collins was not on Wednesday's initial injury report, so fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's practice as it should provide clarity as we approach […]

Ladd McConkey – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR40 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is one of my favorite stash candidates, especially for fantasy players with a 2-1 or 3-0 record heading into Week 4. The rookie receiver is the WR51 over the first three weeks, averaging 7.3 half-point PPR fantasy […]

Skylar Thompson Limited On Thursday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson (ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, according to Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. Thompson left last week's game early due to a rib injury and remains in questionable status. The Dolphins do not play until Monday this week against the Tennessee Titans, so Thompson will have […]

Tyler Lockett – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR56 ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been called washed up or over the hill for the past few years. Yet, the veteran remains a talented wide receiver and a solid fantasy football option most weeks. Lockett is the WR55 over the first three […]

Griffin Conine Out Against Twins

Miami Marlins rookie outfielder Griffin Conine is on the bench to start Thursday's contest against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. The Marlins are playing youngsters down the stretch in a lost season, but Conine has seen sporadic playing time in the outfield. The 27-year-old has had 67 at-bats over his first 26 big-league games […]

Xavier Worthy - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy dazzled in Week 1, scoring two touchdowns in his debut and showing off his blinding speed. He proceeded to do basically nothing in his next two games, but that's not surprising given his low usage. Worthy scored just 4.20 and 5.00 […]

Ja'Marr Chase Practices In Full On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and should be expected to see a full workload on Sunday when the Bengals face the Carolina Panthers. Chase would have been labeled as a limited participant on Wednesday, but the Bengals only held a walkthrough. Seeing Chase return to practice […]

Ryan Mountcastle Not Playing On Thursday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle is not in the team's starting lineup for Thursday's series finale at Yankee Stadium against the New York Yankees. With Mountcastle starting on the bench, the left-handed-hitting Ryan O'Hearn will play first base and bat sixth against Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole. Mountcastle just returned from the injured list on […]

Allen Lazard – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR66 ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard has always been a trustworthy target for Aaron Rodgers. The veteran wide receiver was a massive bust in his first year with the Jets. However, he has been productive with Rodgers back under center this season. Lazard […]

Sam LaPorta Does Not Practice On Thursday

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (ankle) did not practice on Thursday due to an ankle injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The sophomore tight end suffered a low-ankle sprain in last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals and was forced to leave the game early. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the […]

Reggie Crawford Undergoes Surgery

The San Francisco Giants announced on Thursday that left-handed prospect Reggie Crawford (shoulder) had surgery on Thursday to fix the labrum in his left shoulder. The surgery was performed in Los Angeles by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. The estimated recovery time for Crawford is 10-12 months, so he is not going to be able to pitch […]

Chargers Defense Risky Against The Chiefs In Week 4

The Los Angeles Chargers defense is a risky fantasy play in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bolts defense got the season off to a good start, scoring 14 fantasy points in Week 1 against the Raiders and 11 in Week 2 against the Panthers. They followed that up with a solid on-field […]

Michael Pittman Jr. – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR47 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has been a massive fantasy bust over the first three weeks. After finishing the 2023 season as a top-20 wide receiver, Pittman is the WR73 this year, averaging 4.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has […]

Bijan Robinson Limited Participant In Thursday's Practice

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 22-year-old was not on Wednesday's injury report, so this situation is worth monitoring closely, as the Texas standout could enter the weekend in questionable status depending on Friday's injury report. The former eighth-overall pick has been […]

DK Metcalf – Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR11 ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has bounced back after a poor Week 1 performance against the Denver Broncos. The star receiver struggled against Patrick Surtain II, totaling three receptions on four targets for 29 receiving yards and 4.4 half-point PPR fantasy points. However, the […]

Is Bucky Irving Playing This Week? Week 4 Fantasy Fooball Injury Update

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving has a wave of hype that's slowly building after he showed excellent elusiveness and quickness in the first three games of his inaugural season in the NFL. Irving has clearly outperformed lead back Rachaad White efficiency-wise and has already created multiple highlight-reel-worthy plays. With White being one of […]

Rome Odunze Limited On Thursday With Hip Injury

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze (hip) was limited during Thursday's practice due to a hip injury, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS. The Washington product was not on Wednesday's initial injury report, but seeing that he was only limited suggests it might not be a serious injury. Fantasy managers should pay close attention […]

Cameron Dicker A Safe Option In Week 4

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is a safe option in Week 4 fantasy lineups. Dicker was extremely accurate in his rookie season last year and has remained that way three weeks into his sophomore season. The only downside to Dicker's fantasy prospects is a slow moving Chargers offense going against a strong Kansas City […]
