Jakobi Meyers - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: With star wide receiver Davante Adams now traded to the New York Jets, the opportunity is there for Meyers to become the Raiders' WR1 and see a larger share of the targets going forward. However, Meyers didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday of this […]

Mark Andrews - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Bench Andrews outside of TE premium formats POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2 ANALYSIS: It's been a rough go for Mark Andrews' fantasy managers in 2024.

Jared Goff - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start Goff unless you have an elite QB option POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end QB2 ANALYSIS: Goff has been sizzling the last two weeks, as the Lions have dropped 42 and 49 points on their opponents.

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

BALLER MOVE: Benching Lockett outside of 3-WR start and deeper formats POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Lockett is doing just enough to stick around and remain relevant, but it's largely costing him and teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba from seeing larger fantasy production going forward. With a 14.3% slice of the target pie, a decent 1.65 yards per […]

Zay Flowers - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start Flowers in just about all formats POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 ANALYSIS: Despite the Ravens featuring a hefty rushing attack with RB Derrick Henry and QB Lamar Jackson, Flowers has still seen his fair share of volume through the first six weeks. He has nine or more targets in four of the Ravens' […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Start Kraft in just about all formats POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: Despite the Packers drafting another tight end ahead of him in the 2023 NFL Draft (Luke Musgrave), Kraft has completely taken over as the team's lead tight end. The talented pass-catcher from South Dakota State has 18 receptions for 231 yards on […]

BALLER MOVE: Start Watson if you are in 3-WR leagues with multiple flex spots or have starters on a bye POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: After showing some flashes as a rookie in 2022, Watson has been largely inconsistent while dealing with his share of injuries. He faces stiff competition for targets each week in a […]

BALLER MOVE: Start Pittman Jr. if you are depleted at WR or have others on a bye POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4 ANALYSIS: After signing a 3-year / $71.5 million extension with the Colts this offseason, Pittman Jr. hasn't looked like his old self. He doesn't have a weekly fantasy finish better than WR21 and is facing […]

J.K. Dobbins - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Dobbins is a must-start in Week 7 POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB1 with upside potential ANALYSIS: After tearing his Achilles in Week 1 of 2023, Dobbins has silenced the doubters and has looked good doing so.

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

BALLER MOVE: Start Bigsby if you feel a Jaguars bounce-back game coming, or play in deeper fantasy formats POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: After a disappointing rookie campaign in 2023, Bigsby has redeemed himself in 2024, showing why he was a Day 2 pick on NFL Draft weekend. Starting running back Travis Etienne has been limited […]

Nick Chubb - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start Chubb if you have running backs on a bye or play in a deeper league POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Nick Chubb hasn't played since Week 2 of the 2023 season when he tore his ACL against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. While he has been a very explosive running back, […]
