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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

Is Tony Pollard Hurt or Healthy? Injury Update for Fantasy Football Week 9 (2024)

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (foot) is the RB21 on the season despite having already had his bye week. He's been a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers as he's putting up easy RB2 numbers despite his ADP being around the RB27 coming into 2024.  His backfield mate, RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring), hasn't […]

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 […]

Alexander Mattison Will Remain The Starter In Las Vegas

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison will remain the starter over Zamir White (quadriceps). Mattison has taken on a large role in the offense over the last four weeks. Head coach Antonio Pierce would like him to remain in that role for the time being. Mattison has been a solid flex play in fantasy. […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Progressing On Wednesday

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (concussion) was seen on the field working with the training staff during Wednesday's practice according to Art Stapleton of USA Today. Stapleton further reported that if the rookie running back responds well he could progress to a non-contact participant on Thursday. Tracy sustained a concussion during […]

Texans’ Joe Mixon Still RB1 Option Versus Jets

Despite the Houston Texans' numerous offensive changes, running back Joe Mixon remains a RB1 option against the New York Jets on Thursday. The 28-year-old has one of the best fantasy situations in the league as a legitimate feature back who gets targets and red-zone work on a good offense, and he's delivered three straight top-10 […]

Jonathon Brooks Logs Full Practice On Wednesday

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) turned in a full practice on Wednesday according to David Newton of ESPN. The former second-round selection has been sidelined throughout his entire rookie career due to a torn ACL he suffered last November. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status going forward but a full […]

Tyreek Hill Fantasy Football Outlook - What's Wrong With Tyreek?

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (foot) has been one of the most disappointing players of 2024. He was universally drafted in the first round of fantasy drafts and was seen as a sure-fire league-winning pick. Even in the case of an injury to starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, he was expected to be startable. This […]

Josh Jacobs Logging DNP To Start The Week

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (undisclosed) is not participating in Wednesday's practice. It will be unclear what is holding Jacobs out until the team releases its official injury report after practice wraps up, but hopefully, it's more of a rest absence instead of a notable injury. The former Las Vegas Raider has gotten […]
