Will Deebo Samuel Play Today? Fantasy Football Injury Update For Sunday Afternoon

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. has been a mainstay of fantasy football rosters since his massive breakout season in 2021 when he finished as the WR2 overall in full-PPR scoring. Samuel is an elite all-around playmaker and one of the most versatile receivers in the NFL. Samuel started off nicely in 2024, […]

Is Joe Mixon Injured or Playing In Week 4? Should I Start Cam Akers For Fantasy Football?

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) was struck with the injury bug in Week 2 after putting up a stellar performance for fantasy managers in Week 1. As is often the case with hip-drop tackles, Mixon's ankle was rolled up on by a defender and twisted at an extreme angle. Mixon was coming off […]

Is Jordan Love Injured or Playing In Week 4? Should I Start Malik Willis For Fantasy Football?

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (knee) was one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL during the second half of 2023. He had a rough start to the season but turned it around in a big way, ending as the QB5 overall. Unfortunately, during the first game of the 2024 season, Love suffered a […]

Jahan Dotson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/WR5 ANALYSIS: Yes, the Philadelphia Eagles are missing their top two wideouts, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, for their Week 4 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yes, newly signed receiver Jahan Dotson will be the presumptive starter. No, that doesn't mean you should start him in fantasy football. Dotson […]

Kenneth Walker III - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2/RB3 ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is healthy and off the injury report for Week 4's contest against the Detroit Lions. Walker is a fantastic running back, and he should be started, but he gets a slight downgrade. He could be limited based on his injury issues, […]

Bucky Irving - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues (Start if Rachaad White doesn't play) POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is a hot topic in fantasy football discussion right now. He's proven to be a far more efficient runner than lead-back Rachaad White and has several highlight-reel plays under his belt already. […]

Is Rachaad White Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is already disappointing in 2024. He had efficiency issues in 2023 that he overcame (at least for fantasy purposes) with massive rushing volume and great involvement in the passing game. White has just 2.1 yards per carry on the season, which is about half of a decent number. […]

Romeo Doubs - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs received a lot of praise in the offseason for his route running and separation ability, and earned seven targets in Week 1, the last game Packers starting QB Jordan Love played in, but he's a tough […]

Is Malik Nabers Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is off to a blistering start to 2024. Through Weeks 1-3, Nabers had the most PPR fantasy points of any wide receiver in the league. Nabers has been almost the entire Giants' offense, and he's looked stellar while doing it. The Giants drafted a superstar. Nabers was […]

Is Keenan Allen Playing This Week? Week 4 Fantasy Fooball Injury Update

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen didn't get off to the start fantasy managers would have liked in 2024. Allen recorded just four catches for 29 yards in his first outing as a Bear, scoring just 6.90 PPR fantasy points. The Bears offense as a whole struggled, failing to get much going, with QB Caleb […]

Is Joe Mixon Playing This Week? Week 4 Fantasy Fooball Injury Update

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon smashed in his first game of the 2024 season, scoring 26.8 PPR fantasy points. Mixon was the unquestioned workhorse of the Texans' offense, handling a ridiculous 33 touches, yet still managed to be efficient with 5.3 yards per carry. Mixon is locked into the RB1 role and the Texans […]

Is Chris Olave Playing This Week? Week 4 Fantasy Fooball Injury Update

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is coming off his first big game of the 2024 season, catching all six of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. It was a rough day for the Saints offense, but Olave made the most of it and led […]

Alexander Mattison Likely Not Fantasy Relevant For Week 4

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison had twice the snaps of fellow running back Zamir White in Week 3, but he only had six touches and salvaged his fantasy day with a score. The Raiders will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 4, and Mattison could find running room scarce. On so few touches, […]

Zamir White Should Be Left On Fantasy Benches For Week 4

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has had a terrible start to the 2024 season, and there's not much reason to think that will improve in Week 4 when the Raiders face the Cleveland Browns. White had just 10 carries for a meager 34 yards in Week 3's blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers, […]

Brock Bowers Could Have Big Game With Increased Workload

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers has his best chance of the season at a breakout game when he faces the Cleveland Browns in Week 4. The Raiders will be without star receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) and tight end Michael Mayer (personal), which leaves many vacated targets for Bowers to vacuum up. He has […]

Raiders D/ST Not Startable In Any Leagues

The Las Vegas Raiders D/ST had another rough game in Week 3, and they're not worth starting in Week 4 when they face the Cleveland Browns. Las Vegas had some hype coming into the season, especially with free agent signing Christian Wilkins, but they've fallen flat so far. The Raiders DST has generated only one […]

Gardner Minshew II To Give Best Effort To Keep Starting Job

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II faces a stiff test in the Raiders' upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Minshew was ineffective in Week 3 against the Panthers, failing to get much going until the game was out of reach. He was even benched for Aidan O'Connell. He will start against the […]

Daniel Carlson Not Getting Many Kick Opportunities For Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson got just one field goal opportunity in the Raiders' Week 3 blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers. Carlson missed his only field goal attempt but was 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts. He will look to rebound in Sunday’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The Raiders offense has now failed to […]

Jakobi Meyers Set To See Increased Volume In Week 4

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers will see an uptick in targets without lead receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) in the Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Meyers saw nine targets in Week 4, converting that to seven catches for 62 yards and a touchdown, good for 21.20 PPR fantasy points. The Raiders haven't […]

Tre Tucker Could Be Poised For Big Day

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker should see increased opportunities in the Week 4 game against the Cleveland Browns. Raiders No. 1 receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) has been declared out with a hamstring injury, leaving Jakobi Meyers, Brock Bowers, and Tucker as the prime targets for QB Gardner Minshew II. Tucker was targeted nine […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Report for Week 4 - Searching for League Winners

As stated in last week's column, rookies provide massive value for fantasy managers because they can often be acquired cheaply and have a much higher chance of outperforming their ADPs. There's no previous NFL tape or statistics to lean on, so rookies can be difficult for fantasy managers to evaluate. There are many fantasy-relevant rookies […]

Kareem Hunt - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4/RB5 ANALYSIS: Newly signed Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt isn't a player you should consider starting in Week 4. Chiefs RB Carson Steele was somewhat disappointing in his first crack as the lead back for the Chiefs, but that doesn't mean he'll be completely kicked out of the […]

Is Rome Odunze Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze enjoyed his first good game as a Bear, logging six catches on 11 targets for 112 yards and a touchdown last game. After just three receptions over his first two games, Odunze more than doubled his previous production in Week 3. Odunze outproduced fellow Bears WR DJ Moore on […]

Is Bijan Robinson Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been a consistent presence in the Falcons offense this year. He hasn't quite lived up to the ridiculous hype he earned, and he's just the RB15 in PPR fantasy points right now. He's averaged 4.1 yards per carry, which isn't quite elite, but his workhorse role is nice […]

Is Diontae Johnson Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson had his breakout game of the 2024 season last week against the Las Vegas Raiders. After a full season of quarterback Bryce Young being terrible, it only took two games for the Panthers to bench him in favor of backup QB Andy Dalton. The Red Rifle, as Dalton is […]

Is Nico Collins Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins enjoyed a massive breakout in 2023. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, he played a crucial part in engineering the biggest breakout offense of last season, lighting up stat sheets regularly with eye-popping numbers. Collins entered this season as Houston's clear No. 1 and hasn't had a problem. The no-brainer […]

Braelon Allen - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: While it may be tempting to start New York Jets running back Braelon Allen, low-volume backup running backs don't tend to be good start decisions early in the season. Lead back Breece Hall still takes a lion's share of the touches, and Allen has […]

Demarcus Robinson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: It became apparent during the game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3 that Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, and any receiver not named Puka Nacua or Cooper Kupp, wouldn't be worth starting for the Rams this season. No L.A. pass-catcher got more than four […]

Calvin Ridley - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: While Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley didn't do much in his Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers, there's a trend that fantasy managers should be noticing. Titans QB Will Levis is terrible. Ridley is still a good receiver, he's just stuck […]

Mike Evans - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in all formats POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Unfortunately for fantasy managers of Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans, he's been outshined by fellow WR Chris Godwin to this point. That being said, Week 3's matchup with the Denver Broncos was a tough one, with All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain providing great coverage […]
