Sam Darnold – Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues

POSITIONAL VALUE: QB13

ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold has had an outstanding start this season. The former USC star leads the NFL in passing touchdowns (13), totaling two or more in every contest. More importantly, he is the QB5 over the first month, averaging 19.6 fantasy points per game.

Darnold is the NFC Offensive Player of the Month for September after leading the Vikings to a 4-0 record. The veteran has played well despite facing multiple talented defenses. Therefore, fantasy players should feel confident starting him as a low-end QB1 in Week 5 against the New York Jets in London.

The Jets have held quarterbacks to only 8.6 fantasy points per game this season, the second-fewest in the NFL. Furthermore, they have given up only two passing touchdowns in 2024. However, New York has faced Will Levis, Jacoby Brissett, Drake Maye, and Bo Nix over the past three weeks. Expect Darnold to keep up his hot play against his former team.

Austin Ekeler - Week 10 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler should be viewed as a solid RB3/flex option heading into a Week 10 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last weekend, Ekeler served as the lead back with Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) sidelined. In this game, Ekeler scored a […]

Diontae Johnson - Week 10 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: It takes time to master an NFL offense, especially in the middle of the season. That's the reality for Diontae Johnson, a fantasy football lineup lock in Carolina for several weeks. The Ravens acquired the wide receiver last week. He played 30% of the snaps […]

Khalil Herbert - Week 10 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: New Cincinnati Bengals running back Khalil Herbert will join lead RB Chase Brown and fill in as a backup due to the injury to Zack Moss (neck), who's expected to miss the rest of the season with a neck injury. Herbert gets a nice change of scenery after […]

Andrei Iosivas - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Andrei Iosivas - Week 10 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR6 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas has not capitalized off the injury to his fellow receiver Tee Higgins (quad). Instead, he's hardly been involved over the past three games, catching just one of his eight targets for 10 yards and a touchdown.  Andrei Iosivas really needs to clean […]
