Keon Coleman - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in Standard 10-12 Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: A common offseason narrative for the Bills was that their pass catchers would smash because of Josh Allen.

Wan'Dale Robinson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in Standard 10-12 Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Week 1 was probably an aberration. And it's better for the Giants offense if it was.

Jordan Whittington - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington was fantastic in the preseason, played every snap of the second half of the Cardinals game after Cooper Kupp's exit from injury, and was electrifying in the preseason.

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones had a significantly poorer showing in Week 2, scoring just 8.80 PPR fantasy points after dropping 18.90 on the Giants in Week 1.

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: While Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is in a committee with fellow RB Austin Ekeler, he's the clear lead back, out-touching Ekeler in both games and serving as the primary RB on early downs.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris picked up where he left off in 2023, as a plodder handling a huge workload but failing to find much efficiency.
