Daniel Carlson May See Few Opportunities To Score In Week 6
Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson will have to hope for his team to get drives into his field-goal range when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6, though that could be wishful thinking. The Steelers have allowed the fourth-least fantasy points per game to opposing kickers this season, mainly due to their […]
John Johnson 1 month agoCam 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 […]
John Johnson 1 month agoMack Hollins - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
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 […]

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will likely get his last crack at the starting job for his team in Week 6 when the Browns take on the Philadelphia Eagles. They're a defense allowing 21.0 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season, which is around […]

BALLER MOVE: Add Only as Handcuff ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller will finally get his first chance to see action this season. He's not heading into a great situation. Saints starting quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) will miss multiple weeks with a muscle tear, and they already lost […]

BALLER MOVE: Add Only as Handcuff ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis looked to have an outside shot at being the starter for his team with lead running back James Cook (toe) suffering from an injury. Things are trending toward Cook playing, and Davis hasn't been particularly efficient with […]

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR6 ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) is expected to play in Week 6 when his team takes on the Houston Texans, but he isn't worth starting. It's not known how close he is to full health, and with a new starting quarterback in rookie Drake Maye, […]
John Johnson 1 month agoDrake Maye - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: QB3 ANALYSIS: New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will finally get his first start in Week 6, when he will face the Houston Texans. The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft will be the fourth quarterback selected in the first round to earn a starting job. He'll now […]
John Johnson 1 month agoJeremy McNichols - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols will get a chance to serve as the primary backup running back when the Commanders face the Baltimore Ravens due to the absence of lead back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) who has been ruled out. That doesn't mean you should start him. […]
John Johnson 1 month agoBraelon Allen - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline RB3 ANALYSIS: New York Jets running back Braelon Allen has flashed a tantalizing set of skills, becoming an excellent complement to lead back Breece Hall and beating his efficiency by a good margin. Allen has averaged 4.7 yards per carry on the season to Hall's […]
John Johnson 1 month agoAdonai Mitchell - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: There was a point in time when Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell was an intriguing start. Lead WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back) was supposedly suffering a back injury that could land him on IR and 2nd-string wideout Josh Downs (toe) missed consecutive practices with his ailment. Can […]
John Johnson 1 month agoRomeo Doubs - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs' suspension and off-the-field issues seem to be behind him, but if fellow WR Christian Watson can put his injury behind him as well, it's unlikely that Doubs will be fantasy-relevant this week. He hasn't been startable all season. Every answer today […]
John Johnson 1 month agoTyrone Tracy Jr. - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. will get another crack at the starting job now that lead back Devin Singletary (groin) isn't able to go Sunday night. Singletary is now listed as "out", and will not play. Giants downgraded RB Devin Singletary to out for Sunday […]
John Johnson 1 month agoCole Kmet - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: Nothing is better than simple and to-the-point start/sit advice. On an unrelated note, nothing is worse than the fantasy football tight end landscape in 2024. When the most miserable position in the game is top-12 at his position, you start him. Notre Dame’s Cole […]
John Johnson 1 month agoJerry Jeudy - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has a big problem, and it's not his fault. It's his quarterback's fault. Deshaun Watson is so, so bad. Incomprehensibly bad. Receivers can only do so much when they have terrible, horrible, no good, very bad people throwing them the ball. Deshaun […]
John Johnson 1 month agoMichael Wilson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson isn't a tough puzzle to crack. He's fantastic against zone coverage and terrible against man coverage. So if he gets manned up, he probably won't do much, but if the defense opts for zone, he can smash. His […]
John Johnson 1 month agoQuentin Johnston - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston had two nice games, but they were on the backs of touchdowns. He's in a low passing volume offense and doesn't get good target volume. Receivers on run-heavy teams are limited by this. He's also not the primary target for QB […]

Another wide receiver, another round of swirling trade rumors. Seems like it happens to all of them. Every year, plenty of wideouts on losing teams become the subject of trade talks (in the media), and often, nothing comes of it. Cleveland Browns WR Amari Cooper is no different. He's on a struggling team but has […]
John Johnson 1 month agoNFL Trade Rumors: Will DeAndre Hopkins Be Traded This Season? Fantasy Football Outlook
Yes, even the venerable Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been the subject of trade speculation in the media this season. He's 32 years old, coming off an MCL injury, and has yet to make a difference for the Titans this season, but losing teams have an incentive to trade players away. Acquiring more […]
John Johnson 1 month agoNFL Trade Rumors: Will George Pickens Be Traded This Season? Fantasy Football Outlook
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens isn't quite living up to the preseason hype he received. He has yet to catch a touchdown and has broken 15 PPR fantasy points just once this year. It's not much of a surprise, considering the Steelers chose Arthur Smith to be their offensive coordinator. Smith is perhaps best […]
John Johnson 1 month agoNFL Trade Rumors: Will Diontae Johnson Be Traded This Season? Fantasy Football Outlook
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has had a solid season so far. Despite starting off incredibly slow, largely due to second-year quarterback Bryce Young, Johnson hit his stride when longtime vet QB Andy Dalton got the start over Young, providing an immediate boost to the offense. In the functional offense, Johnson was peppered with […]
John Johnson 1 month agoIs Travis Etienne Or Tank Bigsby the Jaguars Starting Running Back? Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 6
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. hasn't lived up to the expectations he was taken within fantasy drafts. He had an ADP of around 17 (RB8) in full-PPR fantasy scoring leagues, but through five weeks, he's just the RB26 overall. He has yet to break 15.0 PPR fantasy points in a game. In an […]
John Johnson 1 month agoFantasy Football Rookie Report for Week 6 - Searching for League Winners
Week 4's Rookie Report told you to urgently buy Jacksonville Jaguars freshman wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. We sure hope you did. The rookie smashed yet again and proved that rookies can be incredibly important pieces of fantasy football teams. Thomas will probably start in most leagues after his consecutive week-winning performances in Weeks 4-5. […]
John Johnson 1 month agoCourtland Sutton - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: It's strange seeing the WR1 of a team having such poor production, but Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is, unfortunately, on a terrible offense. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix is running the show, and he's passed for just three touchdowns on the season while […]
John Johnson 1 month agoBrock Bowers Looks To Continue Dominance At Tight End
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, the lone shining star of a dismal offense, is looking to carry on the momentum of the biggest game of his career when he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Despite an ugly performance by his offense outside of garbage time, Bowers caught eight of 12 targets […]

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is the top wide receiver option for newly-named starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell when the Raiders take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. With lead wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) declared out and second-string WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) doubtful, Tucker becomes the Raiders No. 1 wideout for Week 6. This […]
John Johnson 1 month agoAlexander Mattison Faces Another Uphill Battle In Week 6
Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison will face another tough test when he takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Mattison struggled in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos' excellent run defense. The sixth-year pro carried the ball 15 times for just 38 yards, averaging only 2.5 yards per carry, and caught two […]
John Johnson 1 month agoAllen Lazard - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard has found the end zone four times this season, showing a clear chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He's second on the team in receiving yards with 240, second in targets with 33, and has as many receiving […]
John Johnson 1 month agoTyjae Spears - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: While Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears was seen as a breakout candidate coming into the 2024 season, good fantasy numbers haven't materialized, and it's been lead back Tony Pollard that's taken a majority of the touches. While head coach Brian Callahan has expressed a desire to get […]
John Johnson 1 month agoTre Tucker - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/WR5 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is very fast. He is a versatile weapon in both the passing and running game. Unfortunately for him, he's on the Raiders. They are awful this year. They also face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6, one of the toughest pass […]
