Kenny Golladay A Top WR Option In Week 9

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay is in prime position to keep rolling in Week 9 with a matchup against the Oakland Raiders on tap. After a Week 7 performance that saw Golladay catch just one ball for 21 yards, the third-year wide receiver exploded for 123 yards and two scores on six catches against […]

Matthew Stafford A Must-Start In Week 9

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has been on a tear since failing to find the end zone against the Green Bay Packers in Week 6. The veteran signal-caller has thrown for 706 yards and seven scores over the Lions last two games, and with the Raiders non-existent pass defense on deck for Week 9 he […]

Adam Vinatieri Should Be Started In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri has been more inconsistent this season than ever before in his career. Despite that, you should still be starting him in Week 9. The Colts will be able to move the ball on the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that will put him in positions to score. This game figures to be […]

Jack Doyle Can Be Avoided In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle had his best game of the season last week, but you still shouldn't be counting on him in Week 9. He's gone over 40 receiving yards just twice this season and he hasn't caught more than four balls in any game. The Colts have a lot of weapons that […]

Eric Ebron Is Looking To Get A Touchdown In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron has had some good games this season, but he has been largely inconsistent. All season long Ebron has been alternating his good and bad games by scoring a touchdown. Each week, he's scored a touchdown if he did not the week before, and he didn't score one last week. […]

Zach Pascal Is A WR4 In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal saw his stock take a hit last week after multiple successful games. His success has typically come on long plays and touchdowns, and he didn't have either of those last week. In Week 9, he's traveling to Pittsburgh where the field should be alright, but the game is expected […]

T.Y. Hilton Is A WR2 In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton let us down in Week 8. Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. gave him some trouble all game. In Week 9, his matchup gets a bit easier. The Pittsburgh Steelers don't have anyone near Harris' caliber, and they also don't run shadow coverage, which allows the Colts to move […]

Marlon Mack Has A Tough Matchup In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack has been solid this year. He's the RB20 in PPR leagues and the RB16 in standard leagues. When Mack is able to keep pounding the ball behind his wall of an offensive line, he is usually able to churn out a high yardage total or get into the end […]

Jacoby Brissett Has A Good Matchup In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been a pleasant surprise this year. Through seven games, he's the QB19 on the year, and that's with his bye week factored in. He's just one 18-point outing from being a top-10 quarterback. In Week 9, he catches a Pittsburgh Steelers team that is riding high after their Week […]

Josh Doctson Hoping To Return In Week 10

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Josh Doctson (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday and is eyeing a return in Week 10 against the Cowboys. He's been on the Injured Reserve the last seven weeks but has been designated to return. "I’m ready, but that’s not up to me," Doctson said. "So I’m just trying to do […]

Tim Patrick Designated To Return From IR

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (hand) has been designated to return from Injured Reserve. Patrick can return as soon as Week 11 on the road against the Vikings, where he'll likely be in three-wide sets with Courtland Sutton and Daesean Hamilton now that Emmanuel Sanders is out of the picture. The 25-year-old made some […]

Cameron Brate Sidelined At Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (rib) missed practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if this is an injury that would put Brate in danger of missing Week 9 against the Seahawks, but it's worth watching with O.J. Howard (hamstring) also sidelined at practice after missing Week 8. If both players can't go this weekend, […]

Hunter Renfrow A Deep League Week 9 Option

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow broke out in Week 8 and will look to keep his momentum going versus the Detroit Lions this Sunday. After gaining 88 receiving yards and scoring his first career touchdown last week, the fifth-round rookie has another favorable matchup in Week 9 against a Lions Defense that has recently […]

Josh Jacobs, Tyrell Williams Limited Wednesday

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) and wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be fine for Week 9 against the Lions, barring a setback this week. Jacobs was held in check coming off his shoulder injury against Houston last Sunday, but he should be […]

Darren Waller Looks To Extend Touchdown Streak

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller had a disappointing Week 8 volume-wise, but he'll have a chance to right the ship this weekend versus the Detroit Lions. The 26-year-old caught a season-low two receptions in Week 8, but the good news is he led the team in targets with eight and found the end zone […]

Phillip Lindsay Lands On Injury Report

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (wrist) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. The Broncos are likely just giving Lindsay a breather as we approach the second half of the season, but this injury is worth watching after the 2018 breakout had offseason wrist surgery. He's been a disappointment so far in […]

Derek Carr A Viable Streamer For Week 9

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will be on the Week 9 streaming radar with a home date versus the Detroit Lions this Sunday. After reaching season bests in fantasy production over the last two weeks, Carr has a great chance to keep the trend going versus a Lions Defense that has surrendered the seventh most […]

Davante Adams Is Day-To-Day

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is day-to-day heading into Week 9 against the Chargers. Adams has been out since Sept. 26 with turf toe, but he's definitely getting closer to returning. He could come down to a game-time decision on Sunday afternoon, but hopefully we'll have […]

49ers Defense To Haunt Cardinals On Halloween

The San Francisco 49ers Defense should keep rolling in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. After routing the Carolina Panthers 51-13 last Sunday, the Niners draw the inexperienced and banged up Cardinals led by rookie Kyler Murray. The 49ers have transformed into a matchup-proof defense in 2019, ranking second in DVOA and boasting the league’s […]

Deebo Samuel Could Get More Rushing Opportunities

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel draws a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9 and is an upside WR5. The second-round rookie has endured a frustrating season, breaching five-plus targets just twice. Samuel scored his second touchdown last week, taking a 20-yard carry to the house. Despite just eight rush yards […]

Chandler Jones Should Grab Some Pine

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones' relentless pursuit of opposing quarterbacks went on timeout last week against the New Orleans Saints. He's not expected to be a factor again this week against the San Francisco 49ers, which have allowed just 11 sacks all season. Sit Jones again this week.

Tevin Coleman Should Keep On Rolling

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman earns an RB1 tag in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Since returning from injury in Week 5, Coleman’s been a monster, compiling 337 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 71 touches, including a four-game explosion in Week 8. Coleman draws a sweet Halloween matchup against a bottom-four […]

Charles Clay Not An Option

Arizona Cardinals tight end Charles Clay emerged with his best game last week with three grabs for 88 yards. However, he's facing a San Francisco 49ers team that has allowed tight ends to catch 10 balls for 60 yards in four games combined. Look elsewhere for a streamer at tight end this week.

Christian Kirk A Flex Candidate

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk returned from a month-long ankle injury to catch eight passes for 79 yards in the Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was targeted 11 times, and he's slowly becoming the team's most dynamic option at receiver. He's running into a brick wall this week with the […]

Darius Slayton Is A Low-Floor Dart Throw

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton becomes a less attractive option this week with Sterling Shepard likely returning from a concussion. The Cowboys allow the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers, and Slayton will now be competing with Shepard, Evan Engram, Saquon Barkley, and Golden Tate for touches. It's not a recipe for success […]

Larry Fitzgerald Not A Great Play

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has averaged just four catches for 39 yards over the last five games. He brings that putrid performance into a matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, a unit that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to receivers the last five weeks. The addition of running back Kenyan Drake and the […]

Kenyan Drake Devoid Of Upside

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake won't have a heavy workload in Week 9 after just arriving via trade a few days ago. He's also facing one of the best defenses against the position the last five weeks. Running back David Johnson (ankle) will be a game-time decision, and Drake will either share the load […]

Aldrick Rosas Not On Fantasy Radar

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas should not be in fantasy lineups this week. The Cowboys have only allowed 11 field goals all year, and Rosas doesn't have a multiple field goal game yet in 2019. He shouldn't be in consideration for any season-long leagues.

Kyler Murray Has Alarming Matchup

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray hasn't done much the last couple of weeks, and the road ahead of him doesn't get any easier. The San Francisco 49ers are the best team against the position over the last five weeks. The Niners have allowed a miniscule 103.3 passing yards per game during that stretch. They haven't […]

Giants Defense Should Be Avoided

The New York Giants Defense is one to avoid on Monday when they take on a Cowboys team that hung 35 points on them during the first week of the season. The Giants have been generating more pressure on the quarterback in recent weeks, but the Cowboys have an elite offensive line and the receivers […]
