Raiders D/ST Not Startable In Any Leagues

The Las Vegas Raiders D/ST had another rough game in Week 3, and they're not worth starting in Week 4 when they face the Cleveland Browns. Las Vegas had some hype coming into the season, especially with free agent signing Christian Wilkins, but they've fallen flat so far. The Raiders DST has generated only one […]

Gardner Minshew II To Give Best Effort To Keep Starting Job

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II faces a stiff test in the Raiders' upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Minshew was ineffective in Week 3 against the Panthers, failing to get much going until the game was out of reach. He was even benched for Aidan O'Connell. He will start against the […]

Daniel Carlson Not Getting Many Kick Opportunities For Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson got just one field goal opportunity in the Raiders' Week 3 blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers. Carlson missed his only field goal attempt but was 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts. He will look to rebound in Sunday’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The Raiders offense has now failed to […]

Jakobi Meyers Set To See Increased Volume In Week 4

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers will see an uptick in targets without lead receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) in the Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Meyers saw nine targets in Week 4, converting that to seven catches for 62 yards and a touchdown, good for 21.20 PPR fantasy points. The Raiders haven't […]

Tre Tucker Could Be Poised For Big Day

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker should see increased opportunities in the Week 4 game against the Cleveland Browns. Raiders No. 1 receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) has been declared out with a hamstring injury, leaving Jakobi Meyers, Brock Bowers, and Tucker as the prime targets for QB Gardner Minshew II. Tucker was targeted nine […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Report for Week 4 - Searching for League Winners

As stated in last week's column, rookies provide massive value for fantasy managers because they can often be acquired cheaply and have a much higher chance of outperforming their ADPs. There's no previous NFL tape or statistics to lean on, so rookies can be difficult for fantasy managers to evaluate. There are many fantasy-relevant rookies […]

Kareem Hunt - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4/RB5 ANALYSIS: Newly signed Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt isn't a player you should consider starting in Week 4.

Is Rome Odunze Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze enjoyed his first good game as a Bear, logging six catches on 11 targets for 112 yards and a touchdown last game.

Is Bijan Robinson Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been a consistent presence in the Falcons offense this year. He hasn't quite lived up to the ridiculous hype he earned, and he's just the RB15 in PPR fantasy points right now. He's averaged 4.1 yards per carry, which isn't quite elite, but his workhorse role is nice […]

Is Diontae Johnson Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson had his breakout game of the 2024 season last week against the Las Vegas Raiders. After a full season of quarterback Bryce Young being terrible, it only took two games for the Panthers to bench him in favor of backup QB Andy Dalton. The Red Rifle, as Dalton is […]

Is Nico Collins Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins enjoyed a massive breakout in 2023. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, he played a crucial part in engineering the biggest breakout offense of last season, lighting up stat sheets regularly with eye-popping numbers. Collins entered this season as Houston's clear No. 1 and hasn't had a problem. The no-brainer […]

Braelon Allen - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: While it may be tempting to start New York Jets running back Braelon Allen, low-volume backup running backs don't tend to be good start decisions early in the season. Lead back Breece Hall still takes a lion's share of the touches, and Allen has […]

Demarcus Robinson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: It became apparent during the game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3 that Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, and any receiver not named Puka Nacua or Cooper Kupp, wouldn't be worth starting for the Rams this season. No L.A. pass-catcher got more than four […]

Calvin Ridley - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: While Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley didn't do much in his Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers, there's a trend that fantasy managers should be noticing.

BALLER MOVE: Start in all formats POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Unfortunately for fantasy managers of Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans, he's been outshined by fellow WR Chris Godwin to this point.

Xavier Worthy - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy dazzled in Week 1, scoring two touchdowns in his debut and showing off his blinding speed.

Is Bucky Irving Playing This Week? Week 4 Fantasy Fooball Injury Update

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving has a wave of hype that's slowly building after he showed excellent elusiveness and quickness in the first three games of his inaugural season in the NFL.

Zay Flowers - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Things got ugly for every pass catcher in the Baltimore Ravens offense in Week 3.

David Montgomery - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: There's no reason to sit Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery when he's healthy and playing.

Sam Darnold - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold has everything he needs to succeed and has proven it.

J.K. Dobbins - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1/RB2 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins's ridiculous efficiency fell back to earth in Week 3 against a dominant Pittsburgh Steelers run defense. The Steelers stymied the Chargers, holding them to just 10 points and 166 yards of offense. Dobbins had a down game, but that shouldn't last. […]

Bucky Irving - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Don't be mistaken, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving fell in the draft due to his size, not his ability to play, and the elusive back is an excellent piece for the Bucs offense. Irving has dazzled with his quickness and lightning-quick […]

Is Tank Dell Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell had a breakout rookie campaign last season. The shifty receiver was on pace to be a bona fide league winner, with a four-game stretch scoring 29.60, 18.90, 28.90, and 17.20 PPR fantasy points. Sadly, Dell broke his leg in Week 13 and never returned in 2023. He has not […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce could get playing time if lead back Joe Mixon misses time, but he's a terrible fit for their rushing scheme.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert had a miracle season in 2023, cracking 1,000 rushing yards for the first time in his career, averaging 4.84 yards per carry, scoring a ridiculous 21 total touchdowns, and finishing as the RB5 overall in PPR fantasy scoring.

Cowboys D/ST - Week 4 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: D/ST 2 ANALYSIS: The Dallas Cowboys' defense got demolished by the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3.

Should I Drop Demarcus Robinson? Fantasy Football Outlook

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had a strong finish to his 2023 fantasy season, recording four straight games with a touchdown catch.
