Kenyan Drake A Flex Option In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenyan Drake had 119 yards and a touchdown off 10 touches during the Week 6 loss to the Giants. Since then, he's logged 18 carries for 67 yards. However, Gus Edwards (hamstring) isn't expected to suit up in Week 9 versus the New Orleans Saints, so Drake will likely be the […]

Lamar Jackson Remains A Must-Start Despite Hobbled Offense

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for 12 touchdowns in the first three weeks of the 2022-23 campaign. However, he's totaled only five in as many games since then. The signal-caller has an uphill battle to produce in Week 9 versus New Orleans. Rashod Bateman (foot) is done for the year, while Gus Edwards (hamstring) […]

Antonio Gibson A Solid Start In Week 9

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson's usage has been slowly improving every week. When rookie running back Brian Robinson returned to the lineup, it seemed as though Gibson's fantasy value had been buried. However, after the last few weeks, his involvement has started to tick back up. This involvement hit its peak with his seven […]

Curtis Samuel A Low-End WR2 In Week 9

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel has been seeing different usage over the past couple of weeks. Since Taylor Heinicke took over as quarterback, the former Buckeye has had nine total carries. While that usage has been promising, he is coming off of a season-low for targets in Week 8. Heinicke has been distributing the […]

Terry McLaurin A WR2 In Week 9

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin could be in for another solid scoring output on Sunday. Since Taylor Heinicke took over as starting quarterback, the former Buckeye has been improving his fantasy totals. In Weeks 7 and 8, McLaurin has averaged 17.5 PPR points per game. Now, the Commanders are taking on the Minnesota Vikings […]

Taylor Heinicke A Solid Streaming Option In Week 9

Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke could be a decent streaming option in Week 9. The 29-year-old has been on a decent stretch since former starter Carson Wentz's injury. In his two appearances as Washington's starting quarterback, Heinicke has put up QB7 numbers with 19.25 fantasy points per game. The Commanders are taking on the Minnesota […]

Cade Otton A Deep-League Streaming Option Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton should have an expanded role in Sunday's contest against the Los Angeles Rams with Cameron Brate (neck) ruled out. He caught two of five targets for 15 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Ravens. The rookie tight end had a touchdown called back due to an […]

Chris Godwin A Must Start Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has seen double-digit targets in four of his last five games. He has yet to find the end zone but has 35 catches for 368 yards over six games in 2022. The 26-year-old has a plus matchup against the LA Rams in Week 9. The Rams have been […]

Mike Evans Should Be Heavily Targeted Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has seen double-digit targets over the last two weeks. He has hauled in 15 catches for 219 yards during that span. The 29-year-old is quarterback Tom Brady's favorite weapon, averaging eight targets per game. He has a terrific matchup against the Rams, who rank 30th in DVOA against […]

Cole Kmet Not A Good Option Against Miami

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet hasn't had a good season. While he finally caught his first touchdown of the 2022-23 campaign in Week 8 versus Dallas, he still has only 14 catches for 159 yards. Fantasy managers shouldn't trust him, so he doesn't deserve to be in any fantasy lineup against the Dolphins. This […]

Darnell Mooney Still Looking For The End Zone

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney has turned his season around. The wideout had just eight catches in the first four games of 2022-23. However, he's caught 17 in his previous four contests. The one-two punch of David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert has recently enhanced the Bears' rushing attack, taking some pressure off Justin Fields. […]

Leonard Fournette A Mid-Range RB2 Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette has been bottled up the last two weeks. He has rushed for 43 yards on 17 attempts and a touchdown while catching five passes for 41 yards in the previous two weeks. The 27-year-old has struggled to find running room due to the offensive line's recent struggles. He […]

Khalil Herbert A Viable Flex Option In Week 9

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert continues to split time with David Montgomery. While the latter is on the field more often, the former has been more productive in 2022-23. Herbert looked good in Week 8 in the meeting with Dallas, finishing with 16 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown. Although Montgomery will remain […]

Tom Brady A Borderline QB1 Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has thrown for 300-plus yards in three of his last five games. He goes up against the Rams, who rank ninth in pass DVOA this season. The 45-year-old has been solid this season, throwing for 2,267 yards and nine touchdowns over eight games in 2022. Tampa Bay ranks first […]

David Montgomery Can't Be Trusted In Week 9

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery hasn't been a consistent fantasy option this season. He's amassed 100 yards on the ground just once and has just two touchdowns. Khalil Herbert's presence has continuously threatened Montgomery's workload. However, the latter should remain the No. 1 option against the Dolphins in Week 9. With that said, the […]

Hunter Henry A Boom Or Bust Option Against Colts

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been hit-or-miss this season. He has 15 catches for 190 yards and a touchdown over eight games in 2022. The 27-year-old was limited to one catch in last Sunday's win over the New York Jets. He will look to rebound against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. […]

Justin Fields Draws Favorable Matchup In Week 9

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields threw for two touchdowns against a potent Cowboys defense in Week 8. Although he only amassed 151 yards, he still completed nearly 74% of his throws, his highest of the 2022-23 campaign. The 23-year-old is playing better than he did to begin the season, and the one-two punch of David […]

Tyquan Thornton Could Have Expanded Role Against Colts

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton could have an expanded role with DeVante Parker (knee) ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He logged a season-high 61 snaps in last Sunday's win over the Jets. The 22-year-old continues to see a decent amount of snaps but has only recorded eight catches […]

Jakobi Meyers A Solid Option Against Colts

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has become the team's top target in 2022. He had 35 catches for 415 yards and three touchdowns over six games. The 25-year-old has a terrific matchup against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. The Colts rank 29th in DVOA against the opposing team's WR1s. DeVante Parker (knee) has […]

David Montgomery Falls Into Low-End RB2 Territory

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery has seen double digit carries in four straight games. However, his production hasn't quite been there as he continues to struggle to find room to run. Last week, Montgomery rushed 15 times for 53 yards in the loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Khalil Herbert continues to work his way […]

Rhamondre Stevenson A Must-Start Against Colts

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson continues to be one of the most reliable fantasy running backs this season. He's rushed for 558 yards on 114 attempts and four touchdowns while catching 32 passes for 217 yards over eight games in 2022. The 24-year-old has scored three touchdowns over the last three games and […]

Justin Fields Has High-End QB2 Value For Week 9

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields continues to show improvement despite the team getting blown out last week. Fields completed 17-of-23 passing attempts for 151 yards with two touchdowns in the loss. He also added 60 additional yards on the ground with another score. The Bears have given Fields limited weapons on offense, but he appears […]

Mac Jones An Option In Superflex Leagues

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones had a modest performance in last Sunday's start against the Jets. He completed 24 of 35 passes for 194 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Week 8 win. The 24-year-old will look to improve on last Sunday's performance when the Patriots take on the Indianapolis Colts in […]

Marshon Lattimore Out Against Ravens

New Orleans Saints defensive back Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) has been ruled out for the Week 9 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. This marks the fourth game in a row that Lattimore has been forced to sit out. His absence should open up more playing time for Paulson Adebo and Alontae Taylor. The Saints secondary gave […]

Adam Trautman Removed From Injury Report

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman (ankle) was removed from the injury report on Saturday. It sounds like Trautman will suit up for Week 9, which will be his first game action since Week 6. The expectation is that he'll continue his timeshare with Juwan Johnson at the tight end spot. Trautman has seven […]

Ryan Tannehill Traveling With Titans

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle), who is questionable to play on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, will travel with the team to Kansas City, according to a source. Head coach Mike Vrabel has called Tannehill a game-time decision. Tannehill missed last week's game and comes into Week 9 as the QB27 on […]

Jarvis Landry Questionable For Week 9

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in Week 9 on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Landry has missed the last four games, but it's possible he'll return to action on Monday night. But with the game coming on Monday, it makes […]

Mark Andrews, Gus Edwards Doubtful For Monday Night

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle, shoulder) and running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) are both listed as doubtful to play on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints. Andrews has just three catches for 33 yards in the last two games while playing through injuries, but it looks like he'll be rested in Week […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Comes Off IR, Will Play In Week 9

The Atlanta Falcons activated running back Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) off Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to sources. He will be back in action in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday after practicing all week. Patterson has missed the last four games, but he'll be ready to go against a Chargers run defense […]

Bengals Put Chidobe Awuzie On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals placed cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (knee) on the season-ending Injured Reserve after it was confirmed that he suffered a torn ACL in Monday night's loss to the Cleveland Browns. Awuzie has been the team's top cornerback the last two years, so it's a significant loss for their secondary. Cincy will also be without […]
