Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlooks
Chimere Dike, Tennessee Titans
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike continues to ascend into one of the team's top offensive weapons ahead of Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie now has 11 catches, 163 yards, and one touchdown over his last two games, scoring over 16 points (PPR) in each of those contests. He has taken advantage of Calvin Ridley (hamstring) being sidelined, and he has also been more productive than Elic Ayomanor despite trailing the fellow rookie in snap count.
Dike has earned both trust and public praise from the Titans' coaching staff, and it's clear that rookie quarterback Cameron Ward feels comfortable throwing him the football often. In an offense that will need to throw the ball a lot to stay competitive, being the primary target directly translates to fantasy football success. Dike should continue to rank as a WR3/flex with WR2 upside as long as Ridley remains sidelined. That remains the case this week as Tennessee enters as the underdog.
Kyle Monangai, Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai is set to be the lead back for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The rookie back has seen an increased role in recent weeks, but will be the primary focus in the running back this weekend. The Bears will be without D'Andre Swift (groin), so Monangai will get a chance to show what he can do. The 23-year-old rushed for 81 yards on 13 attempts and scored a touchdown in Week 7. Given bye weeks and injuries, Monangai could offer RB2 value for this weekend.
Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is likely to see an expanded role in the offense. Fellow wideout Travis Hunter (knee) recently landed on the injured reserve. That being said, Washington figures to have a larger role in the passing game going forward.
Last week, Washington saw 10 targets during the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He hauled in four of them for 52 yards, which was one of his better outings of the season. The 23-year-old figures to continue seeing a high volume of targets while Hunter is sidelined. Fantasy managers should be able to trust Washington as a flex option for the Week 9 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's road clash with the Los Angeles Rams, is expected to play, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Kamara has been on the team's injury report since Week 6 while he battles an ankle ailment, logging a full practice session just once in that time frame.
Despite the issue, he's yet to miss an appearance and is projected to be out there again when New Orleans takes on the hosting Rams. Kamara and the Saints' offense have had a rough go all season, though it's worth mentioning he's eclipsed 30 rushing yards just once since Week 5. If he plays, fantasy managers can expect the University of Tennessee alum to be out there for his usual allotment of snaps, with backfield mate Devin Neal spelling him on occasion. He's a fringey RB2/3 with the extra variable of a new starting quarterback in rookie Tyler Shough.
