Should I Start Justin Herbert For Fantasy Football?

The former Oregon star faces the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Las Vegas has surrendered 17.1 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, the 11th-most in the NFL. Herbert is a solid low-end QB1 option in Week 18.
Should I Start Jordan Love For Fantasy Football?
Love is the QB17 for the year, averaging 16.5 fantasy points per game. The star quarterback has 25 passing touchdowns in 14 games, totaling two or more in 57.1% of the contests. Unfortunately, he has struggled lately, totaling one passing touchdown and 14.5 or fewer fantasy points in three of the past four outings.
Jordan Love goes long to Dontayvion Wicks for the TD!

The former Utah State star faces the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Love had one passing touchdown and 20.2 fantasy points in the matchup against the Bears earlier this season. However, Chicago has held quarterbacks to the second-fewest fantasy points per game (13.6), making the star quarterback a risky high-end QB2.
Should I Start Bryce Young For Fantasy Football?
Young is the QB25 for the year despite spending part of the season on the bench, averaging 12.2 fantasy points per game. The second-year pro has had some up-and-down moments as a passer. However, he has made plays with his legs, totaling three rushing touchdowns over the past five weeks.

More importantly, Young faces the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18. They have surrendered 18.9 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, the sixth-most in the NFL. Last week, the Falcons gave up over 31 fantasy points to Jayden Daniels. Young is a solid QB2 option for fantasy players.

Terrance Ferguson - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2/FLEX with upside ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Rams passing attack will look quite different on Monday night when they face the New York Giants. The team just announced that star wideout Puka Nacua will not suit up due to a hip injury. While Davante Adams is […]
Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
