Braelon 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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.

John Johnson 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 […]
John Johnson 3 months agoNFL Trade Rumors: Will Amari Cooper Be Traded This Season? Fantasy Football Outlook
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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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 […]
John Johnson 3 months agoTre Tucker Could Be Raiders Top Healthy Receiver In Week 6
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 3 months 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.

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.

John Johnson 3 months 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 3 months 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 […]
John Johnson 3 months agoBucky Irving - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Despite a rough Week 5 in which he fumbled the ball and failed to crack 50 yards rushing, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is a fantastic start this week against the New Orleans Saints. There will be multiple factors working in his favor. Firstly, the coaching […]
John Johnson 3 months agoChase McLaughlin - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: K1 ANALYSIS: It's difficult to predict kicker scoring in the NFL, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has two very big things going for him -- he's on a good offense and he's accurate. Those are the two biggest considerations fantasy managers should account for when choosing a kicker […]
John Johnson 3 months agoWhen Will Marquise Brown Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 6 (2024)
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) hasn't had a great start to the season. In fact, he hasn't had a start to the season at all because he hasn't played in a game due to an injury he suffered in the preseason. He has a history of missing time due to injury, which […]
John Johnson 3 months agoIs Rhamondre Stevenson Injured or Playing In Week 6? Should I Start Antonio Gibson For Fantasy Football?
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) has had a roller coaster of a season in 2024. After starting out hot, scoring 20.6 and 16.0 PPR fantasy points in his first two games, he managed -0.7 in Week 3 and fumbled for his fourth time in Week 4. This led to his benching in […]
John Johnson 3 months agoIs James Cook Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 6
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (foot, toe) is the RB6 overall in full-PPR scoring. He's a fantastic back in both the rushing and passing game and the clear focal point of Bills' offensive coordinator Joe Brady's offense. Cook already has three games of 15+ PPR fantasy points through five weeks of action. He's scored […]
John Johnson 3 months agoIs Josh Downs Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 6
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (toe) missed the first two games of the 2024 season with an ankle injury, but after a ramp-up game, he put up two dominant fantasy performances, scoring 22.2 and 15.9 PPR fantasy points in Weeks 4-5. He's a fantastic slot receiver and has leveled up his game since 2023. […]
John Johnson 3 months agoIs Rachaad White Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 6
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot) has played all five games of 2024 so far, and he's one of the more disappointing draft picks fantasy managers made so far. He's just the RB32 in full-PPR scoring, a far cry from his RB4 overall finish in 2023. He has only one game with over […]
