Falcons Defense Not Worth Streaming

The Atlanta Falcons defense has been awful the past few weeks. They have surrendered 30 or more points three times this season, including two straight games. Furthermore, they have only four sacks in their past four games. More importantly, Atlanta had a great matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Yet, they had only one turnover in […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Boom/Bust Play In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling has posted some puzzling receiving yardage totals in his last three games -- 90, zero and 111 yards. His speed makes him a threat to break off a long catch-and-run or haul in a deep pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but his limited target share makes him just […]

Kyle Pitts Hopes To Keep Strong Play Going

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is coming off his best performance this season. Last week the young tight end scored a season-high 16.5 half-point PPR fantasy points against the Carolina Panthers. Furthermore, he had a season-high nine targets in the game. More importantly, the former Florida star tight end found the end zone for […]

Damiere Byrd A Possible Deep Sleeper

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Damiere Byrd has played well recently. The veteran receiver has scored at least 14 fantasy points in back-to-back games. Furthermore, he has a touchdown in both contests. Last week Byrd was second on the team in targets (six) and receiving yards (67). Moreover, he scored the go-ahead touchdown with just over […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is Risky Play In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has just one game this season with double-digit carries and in the last game before the bye, he saw a season-low six carries, though he turned one of them into a touchdown. The Chiefs face the Titans in Week 9, who allow the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the […]

Drake London A Boom-Or-Bust Flex Option

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has been a frustrating rookie for fantasy players. The former USC star averaged 14.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the first three games this season. However, he has struggled since, scoring only four fantasy points per game. Furthermore, the first-round pick has scored under 5.7 fantasy points […]

Caleb Huntley A Potential Week 9 Sleeper

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley led the team with 91 rushing yards in the last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. The young running back averaged a season-high 5.7 yards per rushing attempt against the division rival. More importantly, he had 16 rushing attempts for the second time in the past three weeks. Meanwhile, […]

Tyler Allgeier Has An Excellent Matchup

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has put together back-to-back solid performances. The rookie running back has scored 11 or more half-point PPR fantasy points two weeks in a row. He has also found the end zone in back-to-back games. More importantly, the former BYU star has at least 13 rushing yards in four straight […]

Cordarrelle Patterson An RB1 If Active

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) has missed the past four games after undergoing knee surgery. The veteran returned to practice on Wednesday, but the team will wait until Saturday to make a final decision on the running back. Patterson had averaged 14.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game before suffering the injury. Furthermore, […]

Marcus Mariota A Midrange QB2 Against Los Angeles

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota is coming off his best game of the season. The veteran quarterback had a season-high 253 passing yards and three touchdowns last week against the Carolina Panthers. It was also the second time over the past three weeks that Mariota scored 22 or more fantasy points. More importantly, he has […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Looks To Continue Strong Run

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had some mediocre showings earlier in the season, but he hit his stride before the bye, with five catches for 113 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 and then seven for 124 and a score in Week 7. It looks like Smith-Schuster is the big-play receiver for […]

Travis Kelce Is The Top Fantasy Tight End Option For Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been the best tight end in fantasy this season and there's no reason to think that changes on Sunday against a Titans team that allows the 10th-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Kelce has either 98 or more yards or at least one touchdown in […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Excel Against Titans

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be considered a high-end QB1 play in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans currently rank 24th in the NFL in passing yards allowed, giving up 254 per game. Mahomes has thrown for over 300 yards in each of the last two games and will have a […]

Chase Young Won't Be Activated In Week 9

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said "Chase Young had a very good week" but that he won't be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list in time to make his season debut in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. There are still some things Young needs to work on before the team will […]

De'Vondre Campbell Out Against The Lions

Green Bay Packers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 9 game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Campbell suffered a right knee injury in the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night and will miss at least one game. In his absence this weekend, Quay Walker should […]

Van Jefferson Will Play On Sunday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) will play in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jefferson is officially listed as questionable after making his season debut in the Week 8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 26-year-old played 53 percent of the offensive snaps but […]

Chase Claypool Could See 10-35 Snaps In His Bears Debut

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that new wide receiver Chase Claypool could see anywhere from 10 to 35 offensive snaps in his debut with the team in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Claypool will be active, but how many snaps he gets could be dependent on how many plays the […]

Mark Andrews, Gus Edwards Still Missing From Practice

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle, shoulder) and running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Friday. Both players could return to practice on Saturday and be questionable to play on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, but they're shaping up to be shaky fantasy options […]

D'Andre Swift, Brock Wright Questionable For Week 9

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) and tight end Brock Wright (concussion) are both questionable to play in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. Swift missed practice Wednesday but was limited the last two days, while Wright was able to return to a full practice Friday. The Lions plan to get Swift […]

Jamaal Williams Has Chance To Lead Backfield

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams could be the lead back against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9 if D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) is inactive. Swift is officially questionable, but his game-day status could go either way. Even if Swift does play, Williams is a solid flex play since he dominates the goal-line touches […]

Matt Prater A Streaming Option In Week 9

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater is a solid streaming option in Week 9, as the Cardinals should be put in a position to put points on the board against an exploitable Seahawks defense. Prater is eight-for-eight this season on field goal attempts but has not attempted a single kick from 50+ yards, as his longest […]

Cardinals Defense A Risky Option Versus Seahawks

The Arizona Cardinals D/ST is a risky starting option against the Seahawks in Week 9, as they have allowed the fifth-most passing yards this season. Geno Smith, D.K. Metcalf, and Tyler Lockett are certainly not a plus matchup for this defensive unit, who allowed Andy Dalton to throw for four touchdowns against them back in […]

Zach Ertz A Must-Start TE1 Against Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz is a must-start TE1 option against the Seahawks' defense, who have given up the most fantasy points to the tight end position this season by a sizeable margin. Averaging seven targets over his last five games, Ertz has established himself among the top options at the position in the […]

Rondale Moore In The Flex Conversation Versus Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore has the look of a solid flex option in Week 9 as he figures to continue playing a sizeable role in the Arizona offense with Marquise Brown sidelined. The sophomore caught seven of eight targets for 92 yards and a touchdown last week and was targeted 10 times in […]

DeAndre Hopkins A WR1 Option In Week 9

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will look to build on a strong start to the season in Week 9, as he has caught 22 passes for 262 yards and a touchdown in his first two games of the 2022 season. Hopkins wasted no time slotting right back into the WR1 role in the Cardinals' […]

Kyler Murray A Mid-Range QB1 Versus Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will look to get the Cardinals back in the win column after throwing three touchdowns in their Week 8 loss. Murray draws a juicy matchup against an exploitable Seahawks defense, who have allowed the ninth-most passing yards this season. The dual-threat struggled with two turnovers and no passing touchdowns in […]

Allen Lazard, Christian Watson Questionable In Week 9

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Allen Lazard (shoulder) and Christian Watson (concussion) are both listed as questionable to face the Detroit Lions in Week 9. Left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) is also questionable. Lazard was limited during the week, giving him a chance to play after he was out in the Week 8 loss to […]

Vikings Defense A Potential Streamer In Week 9

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is a potential streaming option as they take on the Commanders in Week 9. Quarterback Taylor Heinicke has surprisingly played well during his time as the starter for Washington, but we saw him struggle at times during the 2021 season, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Vikings […]

Cam Akers Could Play Against Buccaneers

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay won't say yet if running back Cam Akers will play in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he did say "there is a possibility." Akers returned to practice this week and wasn't listed on the final injury report on Friday. The 23-year-old fell out of favor […]

Josh Reynolds Doubtful To Play This Weekend

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (back) is listed as doubtful for the Week 9 contest against the Green Bay Packers. Reynolds has also dealt with ankle and knee injuries this year but hasn't missed a game. It's looking like Sunday's matchup with Green Bay will be his first missed game of the 2022 season. […]
