BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2
ANALYSIS: While New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson is in line for increased snaps and usage with starting tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) designated as "doubtful" for Thursday, the entire Saints offense is reeling from injuries, and it may be tough for them to get anything going against a stifling Broncos defense.

It's shaping up to be an ugly game for New Orleans, and there isn't much hope for production through the air outside of garbage time. He is a very risky start, but the loss of both top wide receivers, Rashid Shaheed and Chris Olave, means rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler doesn't have many better options to throw it to.
He has some value in PPR leagues based on potential target volume and the lack of effective tight ends for fantasy this year. It's not the worst idea to start him speculatively in deeper leagues, but there are several better options in any leagues with 12 or fewer teams.

Michael Pittman Jr. - Week 10 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back) has logged two straight days without a practice, and though he's technically the team's WR1, he hasn't been playing like it.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: New Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson wasn't targeted at all in his debut with his new team and played just 30% of the snaps.

Amari Cooper - Week 10 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) is currently dealing with a wrist issue, and was limited at practice on Wednesday. He wasn't able to play in Week 9, so his status will need to be monitored by fantasy managers heading into Week 10. There's a chance he […]
Calvin Ridley - Week 10 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Calvin Ridley now has eight or more targets in four straight weeks. After a massive 10-catch, 143-yard performance against Detroit in Week 8, Ridley's Week 9 outing was a bit muted as he secured just five catches for 73 yards. But with DeAndre Hopkins […]
Rachaad White - Week 10 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White had an otherwise pedestrian day against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9 salvaged by a touchdown run. It's reasonable that he didn't have a great rushing day, as the opposing defense was the best in the league at stopping running […]
