John Metchie III - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

ROTOBALLER NFL START SIT STOCK IMAGE

BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues

POSITIONAL VALUE: WR6

ANALYSIS: John Metchie III is worth stashing in fantasy football, but he should not be in your starting lineup this week. With Stefon Diggs out for the season and Nico Collins on injured reserve, the Texans will rely heavily on Tank Dell, who looks to be the temporary WR1.

While Metchie is readily available on waivers, he is not a recommended start against the New York Jets in Week 9. The Jets are conceding the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts.

The Texans have had a solid passing offense, led by quarterback C.J. Stroud, contributing to their impressive 6-2 start.

Metchie has seen an increase in snaps since Collins went down and finished Week 8 with three catches for 29 yards, including a key first down in the fourth quarter. However, he is still working to carve out a consistent role, with Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson also in the mix for targets.

Given his potential and past as a second-round draft pick, Metchie could emerge as a viable WR3 once Collins returns. Hold onto him for future weeks, but avoid starting him in Week 9.

Tyler Conklin - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE3 ANALYSIS: Tight end Tyler Conklin of the New York Jets has scored in consecutive games, but his Week 9 matchup facing the Houston Texans is far from ideal. With Davante Adams added to the Jets' roster, Aaron Rodgers has another go-to target. This addition should further […]

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 8-12 Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Braelon Allen made a splash in Week 8 with a season-high 12 carries in the New York Jets' loss to the New England Patriots.

Devin Singletary - Week 8 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Devin Singletary is a risky start for fantasy owners heading into tonight's game against the Steelers. Last game, Singletary saw just five carries, gaining only 18 yards and showing limited effectiveness as part of the Giants' offense. His low volume suggests he’s not a […]
