BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should confidently start Michael Pittman as a WR2 option if Joe Flacco is under center for the Colts in Week 5.

The chemistry between Flacco and Pittman was clear, and with the Colts facing the Jaguars this week, Pittman has a strong chance to post another productive outing against a defense that has been inconsistent against wide receivers.

Keon Coleman - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/WR5 ANALYSIS: The list of reasons Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman isn't worth starting is pretty long. For one, Joe Brady is the offensive coordinator. Brady likes to run the ball and throw it to RB James Cook. When that doesn't work, the Bills usually lose (see last week […]
