BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer picked up an expanded role after the losses of his team's top-2 WRs, Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle), but he didn't do much with his role. He's had just three catches on five targets for 45 yards in his […]

Gabe Davis - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder, game-time decision) may seem like a more attractive fantasy option after the injuries to Christian Kirk (collarbone, out for season) and Brian Thomas Jr. (chest, game-time decision). However, there are a number of reasons why he might be better on the […]

Justice Hill - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has too little of a consistent role to be worth starting in fantasy football lineups this week.

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders' running back Austin Ekeler became a less interesting start recently.

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle missed last Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers with an illness, but he's off the injury report and expected to play in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Tyler Allgeier - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: You should start Tyler Allgeier this week as the Atlanta Falcons face the Dallas Cowboys. He is more of an RB3 or flex play, but his touchdown potential makes him an intriguing option. While Bijan Robinson leads the backfield, Allgeier still has allure, especially […]

Kareem Hunt Limited On Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt (quad) was downgraded to limited during Thursday's practice session. The Chiefs have limited Hunt throughout the season at times due to various minor injuries. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about this unless Hunt is limited again on Friday and Saturday. The expectation is that he'll be a […]

Tony Pollard Absent From Thursday's Practice

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (foot) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice session. Pollard has yet to practice this week which is a bad sign heading into the Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots. The loss of Pollard would be a significant hit to the Titans backfield.

Travis Etienne Jr. Limited During Thursday's Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was able to get through his second straight limited practice session on Thursday.
