BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4/RB5 ANALYSIS: Mostly unknown Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols burst onto the scene in a big way in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals, scoring 20.40 PPR fantasy points on the back of eight rushes for 68 yards and two touchdowns along with one reception for six yards. The […]
Full Story »Is Evan Engram Playing This Week? Week 5 Fantasy Football Injury Update
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram's 2023 season and the start to his 2024 season are opposites. He was the TE2 in full-PPR scoring formats last season, playing in all 17 regular-season games and leading the league in targets for a tight end. He was stellar. This season, he's played in only one game and […]
Full Story »Is T.J. Hockenson Playing This Week? Week 5 Fantasy Football Injury Update
Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson's presence is sorely missed by fantasy managers and SKOL country alike. He has top-5 finishes in PPR fantasy points despite picking up a season-ending injury in Week 16 of 2023 and also missing the last two games. Hockenson is a beast. He's one of the best receiving tight ends […]
Full Story »Is Trey McBride Playing This Week? Week 5 Fantasy Football Injury Update
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride is a good player. He's a good tight end. That's a huge statement considering the state of tight ends today. He's good, though, and he can score a lot of fantasy points. That shouldn't be possible since the NFL hates them now, but it is. This means fantasy managers […]
Full Story »Is Taysom Hill Playing This Week? Week 5 Fantasy Football Injury Update
New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill is coming off his biggest game of the season in Week 4. He didn't get production in the usual tight-end fashion, though. He had six carries for 24 yards and two touchdowns, but zero receptions. Hill is an all-around weapon for the Saints but has been almost exclusively […]
Full Story »Zach Charbonnet - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: The Seattle Seahawks running back situation is pretty simple -- if lead RB Kenneth Walker III plays, you start him and you sit backup Zach Charbonnet (outside of deeper leagues). Charb's value when Walker plays is mostly through his passing work, which to his […]
Full Story »Tank Dell - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell had a fantastic 2023 before breaking his leg. That and an unfortunate incident where he was shot in the offseason didn't help his start to 2024, and those significant injuries are likely still affecting him. The whole Texans offense has been mildly […]
Full Story »Jakobi Meyers - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/WR5 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers will be the presumptive lead WR for the Raiders in Week 5 when they face the Denver Broncos. That's the problem (the Denver part, not the lead WR part). The Broncos are a brutal defense for opposing wide receivers in fantasy […]
Full Story »Najee Harris - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is the least exciting player to start in fantasy football who can still get you some points. He averages just 3.35 yards per carry on the season, but Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith doesn't care. He will use […]
Full Story »Rico Dowdle - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4/RB5 ANALYSIS: The Pittsburgh Steelers are not a team against whom you want to start a running back who's averaging 3.9 yards per carry and has less than 40 PPR fantasy points on the season. Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle didn't earn starter reps until his team decided it […]
Full Story »Is Kareem Hunt Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt hasn't been on the team for very long but has already seemingly earned a big role in the offense. After rookie back Carson Steele fumbled the ball for the second time in the last two games, Hunt took over as the lead back, and Steele only had one […]
Full Story »Braelon Allen - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: It's too easy to get swept up in the "He's gonna take over the backfield, he's better than the starter" narratives, but don't let it happen. Especially not before an international game against one of the best defenses in the NFL. The New York Jets will take on […]
Full Story »Is Nick Chubb Playing This Week? Week 5 Fantasy Football Injury Update
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb suffered a gruesome and devastating injury in Week 2 of 2023. The second-team All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler was off to what seemed like another great season before it all went wrong. Many have seen Chubb's injury video, and we won't post it again here. The stud RB hasn't […]
