Tyrone Tracy Jr. - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start if Devin Singletary (groin) can't play POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2/RB4 ANALYSIS: New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is a risky player to start if lead Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) returns to play in Week 7. If the former Bill can't play, the rookie is a great start and a […]

Alexander Mattison - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start if Zamir White (groin) doesn't play POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison is one of the more frustrating fantasy players to own this season. He's been extremely boom or bust. Granted, the booms haven't been huge, but when he's the lead back, he's at least somewhat startable. […]

Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End QB1 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold played well through his first four weeks of action, then fell flat against the New York Jets in Week 5. While the Jets boast an excellent defense that's been giving quarterbacks fits for years now, it's important to look into the context […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: The addition of former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper isn't great for the fantasy value of Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir... or is it? It will really depend on how the targets are divided up in the new offense. It seems like running back James Cook […]

Tony Pollard - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard seemingly has no obstacles between him and a workhorse role in Week 6. Backup Tyjae Spears (hamstring) is likely to miss the game with his injury, and third-year-pro Julius Chestnut saw just one touch in Week 6 and likely won't be much […]

Christian Kirk - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk has seen a diminished role in his offense this year, and with the return of tight end Evan Engram, who earned 10 targets last week, Kirk is now likely the third option in the passing game. He was […]

Zach Ertz - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in full-PPR POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline TE1 ANALYSIS: Few things are inevitable in life. Hardship, turmoil, and Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz somehow being fantasy-relevant for yet another season. He's been a surprise in this offense and is currently the TE14. He'd be higher were it not for a weird game in […]

Brandon Aiyuk - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: The runner-up in yards per reception in 2023, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, has seen his efficiency fall down to earth after an offseason of holding out for a new contract. He's not been the fantasy producer he was in 2024. He averaged 17.9 yards per […]

James Conner - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in Standard Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner had a bad game in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers, taking seven carries for just 24 yards, catching four passes for 22 yards, failing to score a touchdown, and losing a fumble in the process. However, most […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) has had a rough go with injuries for the past few seasons. This year is no exception.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has now missed two consecutive games with a high-ankle sprain that he picked up late in the Colts' Week 4 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Fantasy Football Rookie Report for Week 7 - Searching for League Winners

As the season wears on, many rookie players have their big breakouts and become much more difficult to acquire. However, there are still plenty of players who can be obtained for cheaper than their true season-long value. The 2024 NFL Draft class was very deep at wide receiver and had quite a few underrated running […]

Is Christian McCaffrey The Starting Running Back For The 49ers When He Returns?

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) still has yet to play a game this season. He's been attempting to recover from Achilles tendonitis in both of his legs. He likely acquired the injury over time, as it's an overuse injury, and needs plenty of rest to recover. It's been one of the most […]

Tee Higgins - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins started the season on the bench -- he wasn't able to go due to a hamstring injury. He returned in Week 3 and was likely load-managed for that game. Since then, he's been fantastic for fantasy managers, scoring double-digit points in Weeks […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy is a big play waiting to happen, and with more opportunities, he could establish himself as a clear WR2 in fantasy football. The speedster is grouped with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach (and offensive mastermind) Andy Reid, and that will […]

Chase Brown - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: It looks like Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is making a legitimate push for the starting job over veteran Zack Moss. The second-year pro has outshined his backfield mate lately -- Brown has now scored double-digit PPR fantasy points in three straight games and has seen his […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hip) is dealing with an injury, but there are no indications that it's serious, and he should play Monday night. If he does, he's worth a start as a WR3/flex option. He's an excellent receiver who's been held back by a […]

Should I Pick Up Bub Means or Mason Tipton? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

Two New Orleans Saints wide receivers will have a chance to step up in the absence of team-leading wide receivers Chris Olave (concussion, ruled out for Week 7) and Rashid Shaheed (knee, out for the season). While both will have expanded opportunities in the short term, Olave will return soon. This means one of these […]

Josh Downs - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is still worth starting in fantasy leagues, especially those with PPR scoring. Don't be afraid of the return of quarterback Anthony Richardson -- though he's had accuracy issues, he likes Downs as a target and is likely to feed him. Josh Downs […]

Is Jonathon Brooks Playing This Week? Latest Injury Update for Panthers RBs in Week 7

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) has taken a bit longer than expected by fantasy managers to return to practice. Luckily, he's now back on the field at the Panthers' facilities, running through drills with his teammates. It's refreshing to see him in the next step of working his way back. He suffered a […]

Is T.J. Hockenson Playing This Week? Latest Injury Update for Vikings TEs in Week 7

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is a fantastic player both in real football and in fantasy football scoring columns. As one of the best tight ends in the league, his presence has been sorely missed by his team. It has gone 5-0 without him, but it'll need him down the stretch. He's a […]

Is Nick Chubb Playing This Week? Latest Injury Update for Browns RBs in Week 7

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) has been working his way back from a season-ending ACL tear he suffered in Week 2 of 2023.

Is James Cook Playing This Week? Latest Injury Update for Bills RBs in Week 7

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (toe) has been one of the most productive tailbacks in the league through his first five weeks of play.

Will Derek Carr Play Tonight? Fantasy Football Injury Update For 'Thursday Night Football'

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) is one part of a huge list of injured players on his team, and that's terrible news for the team. He didn't play in Week 6 due to his injury, and rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler started in his place. The result was a disaster, as the Saints were […]

Is Jakobi Meyers The WR1 For The Raiders When He Returns?

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) wasn't able to suit up last game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6, and the team missed his presence. Las Vegas was blown out 32-13, and the real score was closer to 32-7 since the black and silver didn't score again until garbage time. There isn't […]

Brian Thomas Jr. - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2/WR1 ANALYSIS: You sat down for your fantasy draft, made it to the later rounds, saw a rookie, and figured you'd take a shot on him. If that player was Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., then congratulations! You now have a player that should never […]

Diontae Johnson - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2/WR1 ANALYSIS: There should be absolutely no thought put into this. Yes, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson had a rough game against the Chicago Bears in Week 6, but they're one of the worst teams for fantasy quarterbacks and receivers to play against. Just ignore that […]

Spencer Rattler - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: QB3 ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler is entering one of the ugliest situations of any QB in the NFL this season. After suffering a blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6, he has just a short week to work with before facing the Denver Broncos […]

Bo Nix - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 1QB Leagues, Start in 2QB Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: While Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has logged three games of 19+ fantasy points in his last four games, he also has three games of single-digit scoring and doesn't quite crack the top-15 quarterbacks yet. He's start-worthy in 2QB leagues, but […]

Javonte Williams - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams is now another year removed from a devastating knee injury that ended his 2022 season, and while many analysts expected him to return to form, that hasn't come to pass. He's averaging just 2.6 yards per carry, the same clip that he […]
