BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett will face a very tough assignment in Week 8 when he takes on the Buffalo Bills. They're one of the best defenses in the league against outside receivers, and if fellow WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba primarily plays out […]
Full Story »Is Tyreek Hill Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 8
The fantasy managers who drafted Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (foot) have been through enough this season. He's inconceivably the WR44 on the year -- the injury to his starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, has absolutely cratered his fantasy scoring ability. He incomprehensibly now has five games with single-digit PPR fantasy points, and many of […]
Full Story »Khalil Shakir - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: If you need WR depth, Khalil Shakir is a player to consider. Before Amari Cooper arrived from the Cleveland Browns, Shakir was the number one option for the Buffalo Bills. He continued to prove his value, even with Cooper in the mix. Shakir led […]
Full Story »Kalif Raymond - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Bench in 10+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Although it benefits Kalif Raymond of the Detroit Lions that his teammate Jameson Williams is suspended for two games, this Week 8 contest is not an ideal matchup. Raymond has been productive, even with Williams in the lineup. He got his first touchdown last […]
Full Story »David Njoku - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: It's a whole new offense in Cleveland. With Deshaun Watson out for the season with an Achilles injury, Jameis Winston is the starting quarterback. There will be a new voice in his helmet, as well. Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey takes over playcalling duties from head […]
Full Story »Rashod Bateman - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-WR2 ANALYSIS: Rashod Bateman is a suggested start in all leagues this week and should be considered a low-WR2 for fantasy football purposes. He should be started in most leagues. In Week 7, during Monday Night Football, Bateman faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and made four […]
Full Story »Christian Kirk - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Evan Engram returned to the Jaguars' lineup, improving the offense. It came at the cost of Christian Kirk's production. Engram has been involved in the Jacksonville game plan for four weeks (he injured his hamstring […]
Full Story »Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the latest in a long line of cautionary tales for fantasy managers. Receivers don't have to break out in their second year. They could just as easily stay middling or regress. There's a concerning narrative that could […]
Full Story »Tyler Lockett - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett has been a stable flex option this season, but his contest this week is not ideal. He has a solid floor despite a difficult matchup. With DK Metcalf dealing with a Grade 1 MCL sprain, Lockett's role could increase. Last week, Lockett […]
Full Story »Courtland Sutton - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Getting goose-egged by a healthy wide receiver in a blowout win is one of the biggest red flags you can get from a player. Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton did just that in Week 7. There's little reason to have confidence in him overall. Despite this, he'll […]
Full Story »Jordan Addison - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has an ideal matchup on Thursday against the Los Angeles Rams. He's been great at separating against outside coverage and has dusted corners this season. His quickness off the line of scrimmage has been impressive. Jordan Addison was NOT afraid of Jaire […]
Full Story »Wan'Dale Robinson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson does have good games when he has a lot of targets. Sometimes. The problem isn't really him, though he's a premier PPR-scam WR. The problem is that the Giants lost Andrew Thomas, their All-Pro left tackle. […]
Full Story »Jerry Jeudy - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has shown us over the course of four full seasons that he's not the player or fantasy asset he was drafted to be, but there are still people who won't give up on him.
