Hunter Henry Quickly Becoming Non-Factor

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has suddenly fallen off the fantasy football map and is not a reliable option ahead of Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. Consistently playing between 80 and 90 percent of snaps during his first five games this year, the 28-year-old hasn't seen a snap share above 62 percent […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Headed For Larger Role In Week 9

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster could see increased opportunities in Week 9 with Kendrick Bourne (knee) done for the season and DeVante Parker (concussion) trending towards being ruled out. Speculation out of New England suggests that rookie Demario Douglas and Tyquan Thornton could see their roles increase the most, but it's worth noting […]

George Pickens Shut Down In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens secured just two of his five targets, losing one yard in a 20-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans. It was a brutal showing for Pickens, who failed to get his left foot down in the end zone on a would-be touchdown in the third quarter. The 22-year-old has been […]

New Orleans Saints Defense Is A Top Option In Week 9

The New Orleans Saints defense has had a few down weeks fantasy-wise, but the opportunity is strong to bounce back in Week 9 against a Tyson Bagent-led Chicago Bears offense that struggled to move the ball against one of the league's worst defenses in the Los Angeles Chargers last Sunday night. Bagent threw two interceptions […]

Blake Grupe Is A Viable Week 9 Option

New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe has been a consistently solid kicker option this season, currently ranked eighth in fantasy points. Grupe will have another opportunity to produce a viable scoring week against the Chicago Bears in Week 9, who have allowed the ninth-most points per game to opposing kickers. Grupe was perfect on […]

Diontae Johnson Finally Finds The End Zone

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson hauled in seven of his nine targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in a 20-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans. His 3-yard score in the fourth quarter marked his first trip to the end zone since the Wild Card round of the 2021-2022 campaign. Since returning from a […]

Jamaal Williams Slated To Work In Behind Alvin Kamara

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams has played a secondary role to Alvin Kamara since returning from the IR in Week 7, as he has averaged just six touches a game. That role should not change in Week 9, and Williams remains a handcuff option for Kamara. In truly desperate situations, he can be […]

Jaylen Warren Eclipses 100 Total Yards In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren gained 88 rushing yards on 11 carries and added three receptions for 25 yards in a Week 9 win over the Tennessee Titans. Both Warren and Najee Harris were productive on Thursday night with the duo combining for 157 rushing yards. Warren nearly scored in the fourth quarter on […]

Juwan Johnson Should Remain On Waivers In Week 9

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson returned to action in Week 8 against Indianapolis after missing four weeks due to a calf injury, however, his workload was limited as he was eased back into action. Johnson played 61% of the offensive snaps and was targeted twice, catching a pass for five yards. While Chicago's […]

Rashid Shaheed Is A Viable Flex Option

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed enjoyed a career day in Week 8, grabbing 153 receiving yards and a touchdown against the Colts. Shaheed could see his success continue in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears. The speedy receiver is a boom-or-bust option who makes his fantasy production on big plays, but Chicago is […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 9

Last week is officially in the books and we're looking on to Week 9 -- believe it or not, we're almost halfway through the regular season already. And with all of that, we have a lot of good information we can use to help make decisions as we head into Week 9 and beyond. In […]

Chris Olave Should Remain In Lineups In Week 9

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has disappointed fantasy managers as of late, scoring only one touchdown through the first eight weeks of the season and failing to record over 100 yards since Week 3. Despite recent fantasy struggles, Olave has remained the top target for quarterback Derek Carr and has drawn 34 targets […]

Younghoe Koo A Viable Option For Week 9

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo was quiet to start the season, but has seen an increased workload lately. The veteran kicker has made three field goals in back-to-back games. He should continue to be involved during the Week 9 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Falcons offense should get plenty of chances to do something […]

Alvin Kamara Remains RB1 Option In Week 9

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has paid off in a big way for fantasy managers who drafted him despite missing the first three games of the season. Kamara ranks third in fantasy points per game at the running back position in PPR leagues and should continue to dominate in Week 9 against a […]

Whether you need reinforcements or upgrades at specific positions, time is running out to make the moves required for your team to become a true contender. Heading into Week 8, I highlighted Zay Flowers and Joe Mixon […]

Kyle Pitts Might Have Low-End TE1 Value

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has been quiet over the last few weeks. The young tight end has a ton of potential, but continues to be an afterthought in this offense. The yardage has been the biggest problem for Pitts. He has only surpassed 50 receiving yards once through the first eight games this […]

Najee Harris Finds Success Against Titans

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris handled 16 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown in a Week 9 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He added two receptions for seven yards on four targets. Pittsburgh's running game was dominant on Thursday night as Harris and Jaylen Warren combined for 157 rushing yards. It's possible that […]

Derek Carr Is A Strong Streaming Option In Week 9

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr delivered to fantasy managers who streamed him last week in a soft matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. This week, the matchup gets even softer for Carr as the Saints welcome the Chicago Bears to New Orleans. Chicago is allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, making […]

Week 9 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

The NFL's trade deadline was again a noteworthy affair, which is thankfully becoming a regular occurrence. While the offensive moves at the deadline were limited, there were several major moves on the defensive side of the ball. That's music to many IDP managers' ears. For fantasy purposes, we saw four trades that likely impacted IDP […]

Are You For Real? Fantasy Football Outlooks for Sam Howell, Jahmyr Gibbs, Trey McBride, more

Week 8 of the NFL is behind us and it's time to look ahead to next week's action.

Every week, I'll be looking at three to five NFL players whose […]

Week 9 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football - Positional Rankings for Linebacker, Defensive Line, Defensive Back

Am I the only one who feels the number of noteworthy injuries in the NFL is increasing despite almost every rule being geared toward player safety? The data and reports are mixed on this subject, but the optics are there. For example, the NFL reports that concussions have steadily declined since 2015, but CBS reported […]

Tyler Allgeier A Risky Flex Choice

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was held to single digit carries for the third time this season last week. His usage has been all over the place this season, which is frustrating for fantasy managers. The Falcons continue to split up the workload between Allgeier and rookie back Bijan Robinson. However, Robinson is more […]

Kenny Pickett Leads Game-Winning Drive In Week 9

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett completed 19 of his 30 pass attempts for 160 yards and a touchdown in a 20-16 win over the Tennessee Titans. Pickett was inconsistent for much of the contest but managed to find Diontae Johnson for a 3-yard score in the fourth quarter. Although Pickett has not thrown an interception […]

Bijan Robinson A Low-End RB1 For Week 9

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson scored his first rushing touchdown of the season last week. The rookie back rushed for 62 yards on 11 carries in what ended up being a loss to the Tennessee Titans. It could've been a bigger game for Robinson, but he failed to haul in any of his five […]

Daniel Bellinger Should See Expanded Role

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger figures to get the starting nod at tight end for the Week 9 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fellow tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is expected to miss multiple weeks due to injury. That means, Bellinger should see an expanded role in the offense. Bellinger was a […]

Mac Jones A Low-End Streaming Option in Week 9

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is a borderline streamer in single-QB leagues ahead of Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. Not only does he face a greater challenge after losing Kendrick Bourne (ACL) for the season, but he also takes on a statistically solid defense this week. While the Commanders might not be as […]
