BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR67
ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints wide receiver Bub Means was the 170th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Many non-Saint fans hadn’t heard of him until last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie receiver had one target and zero fantasy points over the first five weeks.
However, Means had five receptions on eight targets for 45 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 13 half-point PPR fantasy points in Week 6. He was Spencer Rattler’s go-to receiver, with Chris Olave leaving the game early with a concussion. Unfortunately, the Saints will be without Olave and Rashid Shaheed (knee) for Thursday night’s matchup against the Denver Broncos.
The Saints are without Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed on TNF.
Bub Means led the rest of the WR room in Week 6 in:
Snaps 50
Targets 8
Receptions 5
Yards 45
TDs 1— Underdog NFL (@Underdog__NFL) October 16, 2024
While some fantasy players will want to start Means with Olave and Shaheed out of the lineup, the matchup is far from ideal. The Broncos have held wide receivers to only 17.6 fantasy points per game, the fewest in the NFL.

Cam Akers - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back Cam Akers was a serviceable starter for Week 5, but it was only because he scored a touchdown and both running backs ahead of him on the depth chart, Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce, missed time. Now, Mixon (ankle) is expected to play and […]

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR7 ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins, the WR93 in full-PPR scoring this season, has six catches for 73 yards and one touchdown so far. That's less than 20 yards per game. That does not support fantasy relevance. Even if lead receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) misses time, that doesn't […]
