BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB43
ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson wasn’t on fantasy football radars until a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the Colts won’t have Jonathan Taylor for the third consecutive game because of a high-ankle sprain, leaving Trey Sermon and Goodson to fill his shoes in the backfield.
While Sermon played more snaps in Week 6, Goodson was the better fantasy football running back. He had eight rushing attempts for 51 yards and four receptions for 14 receiving yards against the Tennessee Titans, totaling 8.5 half-point PPR fantasy points. By comparison, Sermon scored 2.9 fantasy points on 18 rushing attempts.
Goodson is an explosive playmaker, providing Indianapolis with a home run threat out of the backfield. More importantly, he has an excellent matchup in Week 7.

Julius Chestnut - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 (If He's The Lead Back) ANALYSIS: Legendary name, but unfortunately, not legendary player (we think). Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut could see the lead role with second-string back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) expected to be unavailable for Week 9, and RB1 Tony Pollard (foot) a game-time decision. IF Julius […]
Emanuel Wilson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has seen even less work as an RB in recent weeks, and we've instead seen lead back Josh Jacobs (ankle) handle even more of a workload since Week 5. Rather than a committee, this is a backfield with a workhorse RB1 […]
Demarcus Robinson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had his best game of the season, catching two of his three targets for 35 yards and two touchdowns in his team's upset win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. However, he's unlikely to score touchdowns in every game this […]
D'Ernest Johnson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: There was some value to having Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson on fantasy rosters, but with running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) "good to go" for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles, that value may be gone. Johnson was the primary pass-catching back before, but that role could […]
Joe Flacco- Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Start in Superflex formats POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco will start under center for the Colts in Week 9 after the team decided to bench Anthony Richardson for the foreseeable future. As a result, Flacco will be a solid QB2 option moving forward. He has finished as the QB15, QB4, and QB18 […]
