NFL Betting Picks for Week 9 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

Seattle DST Hard To Trust In Week 9

In Week 8, the Seattle Seahawks gave up 20 points to the Cleveland Browns and recorded three sacks, two interceptions, and a fumble recovery. It was the third game this season that Seattle forced three turnovers and their fifth game with three sacks or more. The team will have to continue those trends to pay […]

Jason Myers A Decent Option In Week 9

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers hit his only field goal attempt in Week 8 and converted all three extra-point tries against the Cleveland Browns. After starting the season 3-for-6 over the first two weeks, Myers has missed only one field goal attempt since then and has converted every extra point. All four of his missed […]

Noah Fant Not An Option Against Ravens

Noah Fant will be riding the Seattle Seahawks tight end carousel once again in Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens. All season long, Fant and his fellow tight ends have regularly rotated in and out of usage, mostly to shore up Seattle's banged-up offensive line. Fant pulled ahead of his companions in snap share in […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Has Unappealing Matchup In Week 9

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be hard-pressed to keep his two-game touchdown streak alive in Week 9. On Sunday, the Seahawks are up against the top defense of the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed the second-fewest passing touchdowns in the league. Fellow receivers DK Metcalf (hip) and Tyler Lockett (hamstring) each had some […]

Zach Charbonnet Still A Bench Stash In Week 9

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet overtook Kenneth Walker III (calf) in snap percentage in Week 8, being on the field for 31 plays to Walker's 24. It was Charbonnet's most productive game of his young career, and he finished the day with a season-high 53 rushing yards and another 11 yards through the air. […]

Matt Prater Not Fantasy Relevant In Week 9

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater shouldn't be considered a reliable fantasy option in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns. In last week's loss to the Ravens, the Cardinals went for two after both of their touchdowns, limiting Prater's opportunities. The lopsided game lowered Prater's scoring average from 6.7 to 6.4 points per game, and Prater […]

Arizona Cardinal Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 9

The Arizona Cardinals' defense should not be counted on to produce meaningful fantasy statistics in Week 9. When it comes to stopping the pass, Arizona ranks 23rd in passing yards allowed, 25th in passing touchdowns allowed, and 28th in points allowed per game (26.6). Additionally, they've allowed more than 100 receiving yards to three players […]

Trey McBride A Week 9 TE1

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride blew up last week against the Baltimore Ravens. Taking the place of the injured Zach Ertz (quadriceps), McBride ended up with a career day. McBride is a very talented TE and currently ranks fifth in receiving grade and second in YPRR, second only to Travis Kelce. Going up against […]

Kenneth Walker III A Possible RB2 In Week 9

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) finished Week 8 with a season-low eight carries but still racked up 66 rushing yards, thanks in large part to a 45-yard jaunt in the first quarter. It was the first game in which he was outsnapped by rookie Zach Charbonnet who himself gained 64 scrimmage yards […]

Rondale Moore Off The Week 9 Fantasy Radar

Arizona Cardinals wideout Rondale Moore isn't worth a start in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns. Even though Moore continues to be somewhat utilized by the team in the running game with starter James Conner (knee) out, he has been surpassed by rookie wide-out Michael Wilson in the passing game and thus remains off the […]
