BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2/WR1 ANALYSIS: There should be absolutely no thought put into this.

Just ignore that […]

Spencer Rattler - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: QB3 ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler is entering one of the ugliest situations of any QB in the NFL this season.

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 1QB Leagues, Start in 2QB Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: While Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has logged three games of 19+ fantasy points in his last four games, he also has three games of single-digit scoring and doesn't quite crack the top-15 quarterbacks yet.

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Running back hell is a brutal thing for fantasy teams, and Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin isn't likely to get you out of it.

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1 ANALYSIS: The Carolina Panthers face the Washington Commanders in Week 7. Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is a good football player.

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Upside WR2 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (ankle) likely had a down game in Week 6 due to an ankle injury that he picked up, but his efficiency has been ridiculous, and he's produced big games even without massive target volume.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: While Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss had a rough game in Week 6 and coughed up a fumble, he was likely playing through pain in his ankle.
