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 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.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
