BALLER MOVE: Start Chubb if you have running backs on a bye or play in a deeper league
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4
ANALYSIS: Nick Chubb hasn't played since Week 2 of the 2023 season when he tore his ACL against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. While he has been a very explosive running back, the Browns offense has been downright dreadful in 2024.
After making the playoffs in 2023, the Cleveland Browns have watched their season slip away after a 1-5 start. Quarterback Deshaun Watson has been the worst starting quarterback in the league, but the team could really use a spark.
Nick Chubb is HIM.
Amazing comeback story that I'm definitely using to convince injured kids they can get back to full speed.

Despite Jerome Ford, D'Onta Foreman, and Pierre Strong Jr. on the depth chart, it's pretty clear that a healthy Chubb is the team's clear RB1.
The Browns face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6, who have been one of the worst defenses in the league, but exactly how much will Chubb play in his first game back?
We should temper our expectations and see how Chubb looks in his first return to game action before confidently putting him in any of our fantasy lineups.

BALLER MOVE: Benching Lockett outside of 3-WR start and deeper formats POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Lockett is doing just enough to stick around and remain relevant, but it's largely costing him and teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba from seeing larger fantasy production going forward.

BALLER MOVE: Start Kraft in just about all formats POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: Despite the Packers drafting another tight end ahead of him in the 2023 NFL Draft (Luke Musgrave), Kraft has completely taken over as the team's lead tight end.

Bucky Irving - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Sit in 10-12 Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low RB3 ANALYSIS: Bucky Irving faces a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens this week, making him a risky start. In Week 6, he was the lead back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, playing 49 snaps (64%) and totaling 105 yards on 16 carries. However, the […]
Rachaad White - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Week 6's game gave us an excuse to do something we've needed to do for a while -- bench Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot). Things haven't gotten better for him this season. In fact, they've gotten worse. After Sunday's game, which White missed, Bucs head […]
