BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery had a bad game in Week 10 against the Houston Texans, by his standards at least. He carried the ball 12 times for 32 yards, averaging just under 2.7 yards per carry, and scored a rushing touchdown. He also caught one of two targets for 24 yards and fumbled once.
Combined carries and targets this season:

But he was playing against an extremely tough run defense in the Houston Texans, and his quarterback turned the ball over FIVE times. The offense as a whole could've done much better were it not for QB Jared Goff's goofs. Goof (whoops, typo, Goff) shouldn't have many more games playing that poorly.
Especially not in Week 11. Detroit will face a 2-8 Jacksonville Jaguars team that won't have its starting quarterback and already has one of the worst overall defenses in the league. It would be miraculous if they slowed down the Lions much. And we should expect a heavy dose of running from the Motor City team.
Monty should still be started every week. The touchdown upside in his offense is massive, and he has an extremely favorable matchup.

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers carried the ball 13 times in his team's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10.

Alec Pierce - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has been an enigma for fantasy football managers this season.

Jerome Ford - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford is a low-upside handcuff now that his team's lead back, Nick Chubb, has returned. Chubb is handling the majority of the workload, and there hasn't been much left over for Ford from what we've seen. He had just three touches in Week […]
Jaylen Waddle - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: FLEX ANALYSIS: It's been a mercurial season for Jaylen Waddle and the Dolphins this year, and if you drafted Waddle in the third or fourth round this season, you're probably fed up with his lack of high-end production. Waddle caught three of six targets last week […]
Mike Williams - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: FLEX ANALYSIS: Mike Williams was targeted just once in his Steelers' debut, but he made quite an impact as he caught that target for a 32-yard touchdown that proved to be the game-winner for Pittsburgh. Williams should see more snaps this week, as he's had a […]
