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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Heading into Week 8, I highlighted Zay Flowers and Joe Mixon […]
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 […]
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 […]
