Cam Akers Hard To Trust Versus Falcons

Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers will be a risky option for fantasy managers in Week 9, as he reverted back to his role of RB2 in the Minnesota backfield in Week 8. After out-touching Alexander Mattison in the team's upset win over the 49ers in Week 7, Akers was out-touched 17 to 10 in […]

K.J. Osborn A Desperation Play In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn will look to build on his Week 8 performance after totaling 99 yards on eight catches, which was his best performance of the season. It may be a challenge for the 26-year-old to produce these types of numbers once again in Week 9, as he was limited with a […]

T.J. Hockenson Still A Must-Start TE1 In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will remain a high-end TE1 option in Week 9, even with the loss of his starting quarterback Kirk Cousins (Achilles) for the remainder of the season. Hockenson ranks as the overall TE2 in PPR formats at the halfway point of the season, so a downgrade at the quarterback position […]

Jordan Addison A Risky Option In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will look to keep his solid stretch of play going in Week 9, but this could be a tall task for the rookie who will have to overcome losing his starting quarterback for the rest of the season. The USC product has scored five touchdowns in four games since […]

Jaren Hall Hard To Trust In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback Jaren Hall will make the first start of his NFL career in Week 9 as the Vikings take on the Falcons. Hall, the 164th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, came into last week's game in relief of Kirk Cousins (Achilles) and was able to amass 23 passing yards, albeit losing […]

Alexander Mattison A Low-End RB2 In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison will look to have a bounce-back effort in Week 9 versus the Falcons after an inefficient game on the ground in Week 8. Mattison carried the ball 16 times for just 31 yards, as he could not produce in what looked like a good matchup versus a vulnerable Packers' […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Hard To Trust In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been better at drawing pass interference calls than fantasy football this season. The good thing is that he was cleared from his shoulder injury and was removed from the team's injury report heading into Week 9. On the other hand, Beckham has seen more than four targets […]

Zay Flowers Holds WR2 Value Against Seahawks

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers continues to get as much volume as he can handle in this new offense. There have only been two games so far this year where he's seen less than six targets. The matchup against the Seattle Seahawks will be a tougher one despite the fact that they're ranked 25th […]

Overrated and Underrated NFL Teams: Week 9 AFC Contenders and Pretenders

The NFL season is a long one with lots of ups and downs. Every year, certain franchises capture the spotlight with early-season success, while others silently climb the ranks, avoiding the media's attention. In the world of professional football, the line between being a contender and a pretender is razor-thin, and it's a subject that […]

Mark Andrews Remains A TE1 In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is still in the top two tight ends in fantasy football this year and that's not going to change with a matchup against Seattle on the docket for Week 9. While the Seahawks' defense hasn't given up the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, they also haven't faced […]

Falcons D/ST A Solid Streaming Option Against Rookie QB

The Atlanta Falcons D/ST is a solid streaming option in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. Veteran QB Kirk Cousins (achilles) has been placed on IR so it will be rookie Jaren Hall, a fifth-round pick out of BYU, starting under center for the Vikings. While Hall has some solid options to work with, including […]

Demario Douglas A Solid Start In Week 9

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas is a solid FLEX option, especially in PPR formats, in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. The Patriots recently placed Kendrick Bourne (knee) on IR and have ruled out DeVante Parker (concussion) for Week 9, leaving JuJu Smith-Schuster, Douglas, and Jalen Reagor atop the wide receiver depth chart. […]

Dresser Winn Promoted To The Active Roster

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Dresser Winn has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers. This move makes sense for the Rams as starting quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) is questionable with a thumb injury. Brett Rypien would be in line to start […]

Lamar Jackson Looks To Improve Record Against NFC Opponents

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson didn't want to talk about it with the media but he owns a 17-1 record against NFC opponents throughout his career so far. The only loss came to the New York Giants on the road last season, so he's a perfect 8-0 against NFC teams at home. His performance against […]

Hey RotoBallers, Week 9 is already here, and it's time to review everyone's favorite fantasy position: kickers. Streaming the right kicker could be the difference between winning or losing your league matchup. With four teams on the bye (49ers, Jaguars, Lions, and Broncos), there will be fewer options to choose from. If your league still […]

Browns Defense In A Great Spot In Week 9

The Cleveland Browns defense will take on the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 9. Arizona is expected to start rookie Clayton Tune against the Browns in Week 9 after they traded Joshua Dobbs to the Minnesota Vikings earlier in the week. Cleveland's defense has been amongst the best in the league this season and […]

Dustin Hopkins A Quality Option In Week 9

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins made both of his field goals and a pair of extra points in his team's 24-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8. He will look to stay hot at home against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. The Cardinals have struggled against kickers this season as they are […]

David Njoku A Low-End TE1 In Week 9 Vs. Cardinals

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) practiced fully on Friday and is listed without an injury status for his team's Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

The total deal is worth $105 million. The Bears acquired Sweat from the Washington Commanders at the Oct. 31 trade deadline this week in exchange for […]

Elijah Moore A Flex Option Vs. Arizona

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore will take on the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 9. Moore will be happy that Deshaun Watson (shoulder) is making his return to the field after missing three of the past four games with a shoulder injury. Moore has been more productive with Watson on the field as […]

Amari Cooper A WR2 Vs. Cardinals In Week 9

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (rest/ankle) practiced fully on Friday and is listed without an injury designation heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Cooper did not practice on Wednesday with a "not injury related-rest/ankle" tag and was then upgraded to a limited session on Thursday. His ability to practice fully […]

Ravens Secondary Could Be Short-Handed Against Seattle

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (hamstring), defensive back Daryl Worley (shoulder) and cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (illness) are all listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. Williams has missed the last two games but was able to get in some limited practice this week, giving him a chance to […]

Kareem Hunt A Solid Flex In Week 9

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt will suit up against the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 9. Hunt has been productive of late as he's scored four times in his past three games. That being said, Hunt will have to split the backfield as Jerome Ford (ankle) practiced fully on Friday and is listed […]

Dolphins "Very Optimistic" About Terron Armstead For Week 9

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Friday in Germany that he's "very optimistic" that left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) will be available to play in Week 9 on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The team is also optimistic that center Connor Williams (groin) will be good to go. However, right guard […]

Jerome Ford An RB2 In Week 9

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (ankle) practiced fully on Friday and is listed without an injury status heading into his team's Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Zaire Franklin Downgraded To Doubtful For Week 9

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful to play in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers after he was unable to practice all week.
