BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team PPR leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4
ANALYSIS: The New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is the latest in a long line of precautionary tales. Two good games do not mean a player is a stud or an elite fantasy asset. He had the fortunate chance to face the Seattle Seahawks and Cincinnati Bengals in Weeks 6-7.
#Giants HC Brian Daboll on increased playing time for Tyrone Tracy Jr.:
“He’s earned it. He’s done a good job, so he’ll get plenty of playing time.”

That doesn't mean he can't be at least a solid FLEX player moving forward. He's earned extra playing time, and New York's backfield should shift toward more of a committee in his favor. He scored just 6.2 PPR fantasy points in Week 7, but the entire Giants offense was hideous -- QB Daniel Jones was sacked nine times.

The team does not look good without elite left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot), and he's out indefinitely with an injury. This negatively impacts the entire squad, and will have a detrimental effect on both running backs' ability to produce in fantasy.
Tracy appears to have established himself as a reliable pass-catcher, so that's where much of his value will come from in a brutal Week 8 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The state of the offensive line is something that will hold him back, though.
He can be safely started in deeper PPR leagues.

Julius Chestnut - Week 10 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB6 ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut (foot) won't have a role in Sunday's game. While he was considered a solid option as a waiver pickup, this was out of desperation. In Week 9, lead back Tony Pollard carried the ball 28 times, while Chestnut, legendary as his name […]

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer has had two games in a row with over 60 receiving yards and scored a touchdown in his Week 9 game against the Cleveland Browns. That doesn't make him a good starter, though. He still isn't getting enough targets to be […]

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo has looked like one of the most explosive backs in the NFL in his limited action this season, so it's a shame that he's behind elite RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles), who's likely to make his return in Week 10.

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier scored a touchdown last game, but it was much more relevant for managers of lead back Bijan Robinson than those of Allegeier.
