Week 9 FLEX Outlooks for Fantasy Football
Khalil Shakir, Buffalo Bills - Fantasy Football Outlook
When the Buffalo Bills added Amari Cooper (wrist) to their roster, there was concern that Khalil Shakir would lose targets. Instead, he's logged seven and 10 targets in back-to-back games, both season-high marks at the time. Shakir has only missed on two targets this season. If he's getting that kind of volume, he's a lock for PPR lineups.
The Miami Dolphins, Shakir's Week 9 opponent, are strong against opposing passing games but weaker against slot receivers. The 24-year-old offers the safest floor of the three Buffalo wide receivers, but Cooper and Keon Coleman have higher ceilings. Cooper is questionable with a wrist injury. Shakir is a flex-worthy wide receiver in PPR formats and slips a little in the non-PPR rankings.

Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars - Fantasy Football Outlook
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Bigsby has been limited in practice all week due to a lingering ankle issue. Fellow back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) has been limited in practice as well, but is hopeful to get back on the field this week.
If that happens, Bigsby and Etienne would likely split up the workload in the backfield. If one back sits out then the other would see increased snaps and become a viable RB2 for this weekend. Bigsby has done well enough lately that the return of Etienne won't completely destroy his fantasy value.

Raheem Mostert, Miami Dolphins - Fantasy Football Outlook
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert checks into Week 9 coming off a two-touchdown performance last week versus the Arizona Cardinals. The return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) proved what the offense needed, putting up their highest point total of the season. This week, he gets another great matchup against his division rival, the Buffalo Bills.
While Buffalo's defense has been solid this year, they struggle to defend the run. They have allowed the second most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2024. Additionally, opposing teams are averaging 4.5 yards per carry against them, and they rank 19th in red zone fantasy points allowed to running backs.
Mostert should get a healthy dose of touches, considering the temperatures are projected to be in the thirties in Orchard Park on Sunday. Mostert should continue to see goal-line touches, making him a flex-play for Week 9. He comes in at RB31 for this week's RotoBaller running back rankings.
