It was slow going on the injury front again this Sunday. It’s a lot easier to write this column every week when there aren’t numerous serious injuries to report.

Well, Week 11 turned out to be another week where we were just treading water. We nailed our Chargers moneyline pick as they got the job done against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Anthony Richardson (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Richardson was welcomed back as the Colts starting quarterback after Joe Flacco blew his opportunity.

Trey Benson (RB, ARZ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Benson started slow, but he has been steadily gaining more playing time in Arizona’s offense.

Audric Estime (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming into Week 11, it looked as though Estime had replaced Javonte Williams as the Broncos’ lead back.

Top Fantasy Football Injuries From Sunday's Games: Darnell Mooney, Alexander Mattison, Tyjae Spears, More

We were again fortunate on the injury front in Week 11 as it was another relatively light week. Who knew such things were allowed in the 2024 fantasy football season?

Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 11 Lineups Include Nick Chubb, Justin Herbert, Kirk Cousins

We had some mixed results in this space last week. Aaron Jones and Darnell Mooney were a couple of our boom picks. Both had solid games, but neither one was likely the reason you won your match. Malik Nabers was also disappointing in a great spot against the Carolina Panthers. Hopefully, the Giants move on […]

Tyler Lockett - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/Deep League Flex Play ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett hasn’t provided much value for fantasy gamers this year.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex Play ANALYSIS: Jaylen Warren was a popular breakout pick coming into the season, but things haven’t exactly materialized.

Romeo Doubs - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/Flex Play ANALYSIS: It’s been an interesting season for Romeo Doubs.

Alexander Mattison - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex Play ANALYSIS: Alexander Mattison has functioned as the Raiders lead back the last handful of games.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex Play ANALYSIS: Jerry Jeudy has found more success with Jameis Winston under center for Cleveland compared to Deshaun Watson.

Free Week 11 NFL Betting Picks and Expert Predictions

Week 10 was not our best, unfortunately. We missed badly with picks on the Colts and Jets. The Colts had chances in their game against the Bills, but Joe Flacco just made too many mistakes.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10-12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Back-end QB1 ANALYSIS: From a fantasy football perspective, Herbert has been a little disappointing in 2024.

Kareem Hunt - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 / RB1 ANALYSIS: Hunt has been money for fantasy owners since taking over for injured starter Isiah Pacheco.

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end TE1 ANALYSIS: Njoku has been heavily targeted following the Browns' trade of wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills. In fact, he is averaging over eight targets per game since Week 6 and has posted several top-12 finishes in that span. Jameis to Njoku to […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For weeks it has been speculated that Estime would get more touches in Denver’s offense.
