Is Deshaun Watson Getting Benched? Week 7 NFL Update

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has been the subject of swirling rumors about his starting status ahead of Week 7 of NFL action. He hasn't been playing well this season, his team is 1-5 with little hope of improving, and the franchise has completely lost its direction. There isn't much reason for hope in Cleveland, […]

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Return In Week 8 - Fantasy Football Outlook

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa could return in Week 8. This is incredible news for any fantasy manager who has a Dolphins offensive player on their roster. The once explosive offense has completely collapsed without the fifth-year pro at the helm. They've scored just 12 points per game this season, worst in the league and […]

Davante Adams Traded To Jets - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

It finally happened. There were months of speculation about potential landing spots and rumors of discontent with his old team. There was also a video of now-former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams saying that if he's going to be reunited with anyone, it would be New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. It happened. […]

Khalil Shakir (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Sleepers for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir will have added competition for targets in the form of former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper, who was traded to the Bills after Week 6 and is expected to play in Week 7. It will take time […]

Ladd McConkey (WR, LAC) - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Sleepers for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hip) is a somewhat tough player to evaluate every week. He's fantastic in many advanced metrics and is an all-around great receiver, but he's held back by the Chargers' lack of passing volume. It's hard to find consistent fantasy success when […]

Xavier Worthy (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Sleepers for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy isn't a tough player to evaluate. He's a ridiculously fast burner with good route-running skills who has enormous upside. His fantasy production hasn't been elite due to his lack of targets, but rookies tend to take time to become acclimated to […]

Tank Bigsby (RB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Sleepers for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: One of the worst enemies of running back fantasy production is a negative game script. That's exactly what Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby faced in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears, and that's why he put up a dud of a game after his massive Week 5 […]

Should I Drop Allen Lazard After Davante Adams Was Traded To The Jets?

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard has been one of the biggest surprises of the 2024 fantasy football season. After finishing as just the WR99 in full-PPR scoring in 2023, he's now the WR11 overall. His chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers has paid off massively. He was actually a better fantasy option than his […]

Should I Drop Jerome Ford? Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 7

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) is set to take on a smaller role for the team with the return of star running back Nick Chubb (knee). Chubb is expected to play in his first game back since a devastating knee injury ended his 2023 season prematurely. While Ford has done a solid job […]

Tre Tucker Worth Flex Start In Deep Leagues In Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has an easier matchup in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams, so he has a solid chance of bouncing back after getting blanked in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He should have expanded opportunity for targets with star WR Davante Adams leaving for the Jets and […]

Daniel Carlson A Fringe Starting Option In Deep Leagues

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson should have some opportunities to score points when his tame takes on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. The Rams have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, ranking around the middle of the league. It may be tough for the Raiders to get much […]

Raiders D/ST Not A Good Start Against Rams In Week 7

The Las Vegas Raiders will play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, and they will face a tough test against a good NFL offense. Rams head coach Sean McVay is an elite offensive mind, and his team has turned the ball over just six times in five games, one of the lower rates […]

Fantasy Players Who Are Trending Up Ahead Of Week 7

Some players get off to slow starts, some find their groove later in the season, and yet others have a string of fluky games before falling back to their usual production. Whatever the reason may be, many players have strings of good games after being relatively quiet to start the season. Digging into the context […]

Alexander Mattison Likely To See Reduction In Volume If Zamir White Plays

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison will square off against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. He's had two consecutive solid fantasy weeks, but the return of Zamir White (groin), who practiced in full on Friday, could cap his upside yet again. Mattison averaged 2.5 and 2.4 yards per carry in his two […]

Brock Bowers Set To Continue Huge Season Against Rams

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers could reclaim his spot as the overall TE1 in fantasy scoring in a matchup with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. The Rams have allowed the second-most PPR fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, and they should have trouble slowing down one of the NFL's […]

Aidan O'Connell To Lead Depleted Raiders Offense In Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. While they have a much softer defense than the Pittsburgh Steelers he played against in Week 6, he will be missing two important offensive weapons. Wide receiver Davante Adams is now with the New York Jets, and his now-top receiver, […]

Greg Dortch - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch hasn't been on the fantasy radar this season, and that's unlikely to change. He has just one game of 10 or more PPR fantasy points so far, and he's taken a clear back seat to WRs Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion), Michael Wilson […]

Hunter Henry - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has a good quarterback now. Rookie Drake Maye impressed in his debut in Week 6, completing three passes to Henry for 41 yards and a touchdown. The involvement in the offense and red-zone opportunities make the 29-year old a viable fantasy […]

Calvin Ridley - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a solid player. His team agreed when they gave him a four year, $92,000,000 contract before the 2024 season. It doesn't really matter, though, because his quarterback, Will Levis (shoulder, has been one of the league's worst this year. Dayo Odeyingbo […]

Jaylen Waddle - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Salvation is seemingly on the horizon for fantasy managers of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. While starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa isn't eligible to return to play until Week 8 at the earliest, Miami will face the Indianapolis Colts, who have one of the worst pass defenses […]

Austin Ekeler - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start if Brian Robinson Jr. doesn't play POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2/RB4 ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler struggled in Week 6, but he faced the best run defense in the NFL in the Baltimore Ravens, so that wasn't much of a surprise. He has a much softer matchup against the Carolina Panthers scheduled for Week […]

Anthony Richardson, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 7

Quarterback is one of the more frustrating positions to manage in fantasy football this year. There have only been a handful of every-week must-starts, like Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. Many of the league's other signal-callers have had both boom and bust games. There are several factors to consider in start decisions, like health of […]

Tank Dell, DeMario Douglas, Romeo Doubs: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 7

In fantasy football, there are a ton of factors that play into wide receiver scoring potential every week. Many players points scored vary so much week to week that gaining an edge in knowing who to start can be a week-winning decision. A dive into many WRs' stats will show you games where they hardly […]

Rachaad White - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Week 6's game gave us an excuse to do something we've needed to do for a while -- bench Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot). Things haven't gotten better for him this season. In fact, they've gotten worse. After Sunday's game, which White missed, Bucs head […]

Sean Tucker - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: No matter how many times a player has a huge performance out of nowhere and then follows it up with a dud, it's difficult to bench him. But that's what you should do with Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker. The New Orleans Saints defense he dominated […]

Tyler Allgeier - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: It's important to understand that one game doesn't dictate how the rest of the season will go, and it doesn't necessarily show a big change in how the offense functions. Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier had his biggest game of the season, scoring 19.8 PPR fantasy points, […]

Jordan Mason - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start if Healthy POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) has been a surprise late-round pick, waiver wire stud, or a lifesaver for those who drafted Christian McCaffrey and decided to pick up his handcuff. He's the RB8 in full-PPR scoring and has two games with over 20 […]

Brock Purdy - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End QB1 ANALYSIS: These days, there are two rules to apply when choosing a starting quarterback. The first is -- is he hyper-mobile? Think Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson. The second is -- is he in an offense from the Shanahan tree? The top quarterbacks this year mostly fit […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Another day, another instance of "Man, this guy would be really good with less target competition." Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has carved out a nice, yet inconsistent, role in his offense. The presence of both WRs Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf creates a lot of competition for […]

Isaac Guerendo - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start if Jordan Mason (shoulder) can't play POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo showed in Week 6 that he would do just fine filling in for an injured Mason for a full game. He ripped of a 76-yard carry to seal the game, capping off a 10-carry, 99-yard […]
