BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston had a nice start to his 2024 season, but this was mostly due to touchdowns, which are much less reliable for predicting future fantasy production than other metrics. He fell back down to earth in […]

Is Aaron Jones Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 7

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (hip) played as he always has at a very high level, to start the season. Unfortunately, he also has struggled to stay healthy and exited his Week 5 contest after just eight touches. He played just 11 games in 2023 and was often limited due to injury issues. He's […]

Is Travis Etienne Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) capped off his first six games with the most miserable performance of his career, logging just -0.1 PPR fantasy points in Week 6.

Is James Conner Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 7

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) has been a Jekyll and Hyde player to have for fantasy managers this year. He's a solid bet to score double-digit fantasy points until he puts up stinkers of performances like he did last week. In Week 6, the former Steeler had his second-worst game of the season. […]

Ladd McConkey (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add  ROSTERED IN: 75% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey isn't available in many leagues, but he should probably be available in none.

Christian Watson (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add  ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been a frustrating player to own in fantasy football this year.

Is Zamir White The Starting Running Back For the Raiders When He Returns?

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White is on the short list of biggest busts of the 2024 fantasy football season.

The third-year running back has not […]

Is Devin Singletary The Starting Running Back For the Giants When He Returns?

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary missed his second game due to injury in Week 6 when the Giants took on the Cincinnati Bengals at home.

Is Rachaad White The Starting Running Back For the Buccaneers When He Returns?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has been disappointing so far in 2024, ranking as just the RB36 and presenting almost none of the huge upside that made him the RB4 in full-PPR scoring in 2023. He's kept his poor efficiency, though. He's averaging 3.7 yards per carry this year, just a hair above […]

Is Anthony Richardson The Starting Quarterback For the Colts When He Returns?

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson hasn't produced well in any game since torching the Houston Texans in Week 1. He's struggled massively since then, now totaling just three passing touchdowns to six interceptions. He's thrown just one touchdown to five interceptions excluding Week 1. He also hasn't been as much of a factor with his […]

DeMario Douglas Fantasy Football Outlook - Was His Big Game Legit or a Fluke?

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas finally enjoyed his biggest game as a pro and scored his first touchdown in the Patriots' 41-21 loss to the Houston Texans.

Isaac Guerendo (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add  ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo has tremendous upside if lead running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) doesn't return (and it's unlikely he will) and his backup Jordan Mason (shoulder) is sidelined due to his AC joint sprain. The thing about 49ers running backs is that […]

Will Khalil Shakir Play Tonight? Fantasy Football Injury Update For 'Monday Night Football'

The Buffalo Bills' best wide receiver right now is Khalil Shakir, and the team felt the impact of his absence in Week 5 when they dropped the game to the Houston Texans. Quarterback Josh Allen completed just nine of 30 passes for 131 yards and one touchdown. It was not a good performance. The wide […]

Will James Cook Play Tonight? Fantasy Football Injury Update For 'Monday Night Football'

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is having a fantastic season. He's a near-lock to score double-digit fantasy points when he plays a full game, and he's averaged a touchdown for every game he's played so far. He's the engine of his offense and has the trust of his quarterback and the offensive staff. He […]

Tre Tucker Targeted Twice But Comes Up Empty

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker earned two targets but failed to record a catch in the Raiders' blowout loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Things weren't looking good for the second-year-pro heading into the game, who had to face one of the league's toughest defenses against wide receivers. Pittsburgh's defense made […]

Daniel Carlson Nearly Blanked Again As Raiders Offense Sputters

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson had another game with virtually no opportunities to score as the Raiders fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers 32-13 in Week 6.

Alexander Mattison Scores Touchdown Yet Is Inefficient In Loss

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison rushed 14 times for 33 yards and caught five passes for 32 yards in the Raiders' 32-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. The Raiders running back had an inefficient outing yet again. The touchdown and receiving work gave him a solid fantasy outing in PPR […]

Brock Bowers Catches Nine Passes In Week 6

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers continued his stellar freshman season in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers by catching nine passes for 71 yards on 10 targets. The rookie remains the lone bright spot on an otherwise putrid Las Vegas offense that has struggled throughout the season. Bowers consistently beat coverages in the […]

Aidan O'Connell Has Poor Showing In First Start

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell earned his first start after fellow QB Gardner Minshew II was benched, but he didn't make much of a difference for his team. The Raiders were blown out by the Pittsburgh Steelers 32-13 in Week 6. The second-year pro threw for 227 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, averaging […]

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 […]

Cam 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 […]

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.

Jerome Ford - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

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.
