Tua Tagovailoa - Week 8 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks

Tua Tagovailoa - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues

POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end QB1

ANALYSIS: Tua Tagovailoa enters this week as a high-risk, high-reward option in fantasy football, making his return from a concussion suffered in Week 2.

While there is always some concern with players coming back from injury, Tagovailoa’s explosive upside cannot be ignored, especially with the weapons he has at his disposal.

Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle give him the ability to rack up big yardage and multiple touchdowns in any game, and this week’s matchup against the Seahawks could be the perfect setting for a bounce-back performance.

The Seahawks' defense has struggled against elite receivers, which means Tagovailoa has a legitimate chance to deliver a huge fantasy day if he’s in sync with his wideouts.

However, there’s a level of risk tied to his return, as it’s his first game back and there may be some rust or hesitancy in his play. While the Dolphins' offense is built to generate quick strikes, Seattle’s defense could attempt to apply pressure to test his comfort level in the pocket.

Despite the potential risks, Tua’s ceiling is very high, given the big-play potential of his offense.

Fantasy managers who need a high-upside play at quarterback should consider starting Tagovailoa, understanding that while there’s some uncertainty, the reward could be massive if he hits his stride this week.

Julius Chestnut - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 (If He's The Lead Back) ANALYSIS: Legendary name, but unfortunately, not legendary player (we think). Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut could see the lead role with second-string back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) expected to be unavailable for Week 9, and RB1 Tony Pollard (foot) a game-time decision. IF Julius […]

Emanuel Wilson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has seen even less work as an RB in recent weeks, and we've instead seen lead back Josh Jacobs (ankle) handle even more of a workload since Week 5. Rather than a committee, this is a backfield with a workhorse RB1 […]

Demarcus Robinson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had his best game of the season, catching two of his three targets for 35 yards and two touchdowns in his team's upset win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. However, he's unlikely to score touchdowns in every game this […]

D'Ernest Johnson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: There was some value to having Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson on fantasy rosters, but with running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) "good to go" for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles, that value may be gone. Johnson was the primary pass-catching back before, but that role could […]

Joe Flacco- Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in Superflex formats POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco will start under center for the Colts in Week 9 after the team decided to bench Anthony Richardson for the foreseeable future. As a result, Flacco will be a solid QB2 option moving forward. He has finished as the QB15, QB4, and QB18 […]
