Antonio Gibson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 18+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: After spending his first four years with the Washington Commanders, running back Antonio Gibson signed with the New England Patriots in free agency. Now, Gibson will join Rhamondre Stevenson out of New England's backfield to form a solid duo. However, the 26-year-old might not […]

Rasheen Ali Doubtful To Make NFL Debut On Thursday

Baltimore Ravens running back Rasheen Ali (neck) is doubtful to suit up on Thursday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The team officially lists Ali as doubtful. As expected, Derrick […]

MarShawn Lloyd Limited On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers running backs MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) and Emanuel Wilson (hip) were both listed as limited at practice on Wednesday.

Aaron Jones Has RB1 Upside In Week 1 Against The Giants

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones looks to have a productive debut in the purple and gold as his team faces the New York Giants in Week 1. The Vikings weren't productive on the ground in 2023, largely due to a reliance on subpar rushers in the backfield -- something they corrected in free agency […]

Is Christian McCaffrey Hurt or Healthy? Week 1 Fantasy Football Update

San Francisco 49ers Running Back Christian McCaffrey has been dealing with a calf strain for the past few weeks. While it's concerning news, there is always a window to return to practice and become fully healthy for the game when a player is injured in the preseason.

Saquon Barkley Has Solid Week 1 Matchup To Exploit

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1 ANALYSIS: Starting Josh Jacobs in Week 1 is a strong move.

BALLER MOVE: Don't Start in Week 1 POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Starting rookie running back Blake Corum in Week 1 could be a gamble, as his role in the Rams' offense is still uncertain.

BALLER MOVE: Sit in Week 1 POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end QB2 ANALYSIS: While it's fair to question Russell Wilson's talent at age 35 and the Pittsburgh Steelers offense, fantasy managers should try to avoid starting Russell Wilson in Week 1.  Wilson was recently named the starting quarterback to begin the 2024 season after a long quarterback […]

Jayden Daniels - Week 1 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: Jayden Daniels makes his highly-anticipated NFL debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of the worst pass defenses a year ago (fourth-worst 248.9 yards per game).

Miles Sanders - Week 1 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Low-end Flex ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders is currently listed as the No.2 running back on the depth chart and should be kept out of all starting lineup in the season opener.

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner "is the bell cow in that room," offensive coordinator Drew Petzing told the media on Tuesday.
