Rachaad White - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is slowly but surely ceding more and more carries to his competition, but his value as a pass-protector and pass-catcher give him playing time and PPR-scam fantasy points that make him worth starting in PPR leagues […]

DeMario Douglas - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start If Drake Maye Plays, Sit If Not POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX If Maye Plays, WR5 If Not ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas is worth stashing on benches and shouldn't be dropped. If the rookie quarterback Maye (concussion) is able to clear protocol and play on Sunday, Douglas is worth starting. […]

Alexander Mattison - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison took over the starting RB job from now-backup Zamir White, and will head into a Week 9 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals after carrying the ball 11 times for just 15 yards against the Kansas City […]

Jalen Tolbert - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Despite being blown out by the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert was only targeted three times, catching all three for 44 yards. It was the CeeDee Lamb show (though his two touchdowns came on busted coverages), but it was concerning […]

Chuba Hubbard - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Chuba Hubbard is a running back you should consider starting in all leagues this week as he takes on the New Orleans Saints. The Carolina Panthers' running back has been a dependable option, rushing for 90 or more yards in four games this season. […]

Rico Dowdle – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB28 ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle missed the Week 8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers with an illness. However, the veteran running back has been a solid flex option for fantasy players, averaging 9.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game this year. Furthermore, […]

Raheem Mostert – Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB30 ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert had a breakout season in 2023, leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns. Unfortunately, the veteran running back has regressed this year, totaling two touchdowns in four games. However, he is healthy after dealing with injuries earlier in the […]

Keenan Allen - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen was targeted seven times in his team's Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders, but was only able to haul in two of those for 39 yards. It's been a largely unproductive season for the former Los Angeles Charger, but it's not […]

Courtland Sutton - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton continues to be a frustratingly inconsistent player for fantasy football. Just a week after playing 86% of snaps and not earning a single target, he caught eight passes on 11 targets for 100 yards in Week 8. […]

DeAndre Hopkins - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: New Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins didn't have the biggest day in his debut with his new team, scoring just 4.9 PPR fantasy points by catching two passes on three targets for 29 yards. However, he had just a 32% snap […]

Chase Brown - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown appears to have taken over the backfield from fellow RB Zack Moss, but he wasn't effective against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, though he did score a rushing touchdown to salvage his day. Luckily, he gets a much easier matchup in Week […]

Tyler Lockett - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (oblique) had what was easily his worst game of the season in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo's stingy pass defense limited him to just one catch on three targets for nine yards, good for 1.9 PPR […]

Khalil Shakir - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 (PPR)/WR3 (Non-PPR) ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir put to rest any suspicions that his role may be reduced with the addition of WR Amari Cooper to the roster. Shakir was targeted 10 times, catching nine passes for 107 yards, against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8. It […]

Jonathan Taylor - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1 ANALYSIS: Outside of the most absurd taco leagues and joke fantasy football groups, there isn't a single roster where you should consider benching Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. He's one of the best RBs in the league in a workhorse role with a good offense and good offensive […]

Tank Bigsby - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) had another solid workload in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers. He was the primary running back in the absence of Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) and handled 18 carries for 78 yards while catching two passes on three targets for […]

Nick Chubb - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb scored just 5.2 PPR fantasy points in last week's shocking upset win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was still on a snap count, since it was his second game back after suffering a season-ending knee injury early in the 2023 season. #Browns […]

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (foot) is the RB21 on the season despite having already had his bye week.

Happy Halloween, RotoBallers! This is going to be an interesting one. We have the New York Jets (2-6) taking on the Houston Texans (6-2). Houston just lost Stefon Diggs, however, and that is going to be a big hit to the receiving corps. The Jets are looking to get back on track after a brutal […]

Tyjae Spears Limited As Week 9 Prep Begins

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was a limited participant during practice on Wednesday. The 23-year-old has missed two consecutive games, but it looks like he's getting closer to returning for Week 9 against the New England Patriots. Through five games as the backup to Tony Pollard, Spears registered 114 rushing yards, 76 receiving […]

Calvin Ridley, Tony Pollard, Tagged With DNPs

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (shoulder) and running back Tony Pollard (foot) were both listed as non-participants on the team's Wednesday practice report. It's an interesting development, as neither player looked hampered by an injury in Tennessee's 52-14 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. Pollard (82%) and Ridley (79%) were both on the field […]

Jakobi Meyers, Zamir White, Limited To Start The Week

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (quad) and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) were both listed as limited participants for the team's first practice of the week. White logged just two snaps in the team's 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8, and the quad ailment could be the reason why. […]

Breece Hall An RB1 In Week 9

New York Jets running back Breece Hall ran for 80 scoreless yards on 18 carries in a Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots. He will look for more in Week 9's Thursday night game against the Houston Texans. Houston has been tough on opposing running backs this season as they are allowing just […]

Jerome Ford Logs Limited Session

On Wednesday, Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity. It's the second straight limited practice for the 25-year-old, dating back to last week after he was tagged with a DNP in five consecutive sessions. Ford hasn't appeared in a game since the team's 20-16 loss to the Eagles, when he […]

Antonio Gibson Limited On Wednesday

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson (toe) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Gibson has played in every game thus far this season so his limited participation may be precautionary. Gibson has been primarily irrelevant in fantasy football in 2024. He has yet to clear 48% of the snaps and has played […]
