Michael Badgley Makes Only Extra-Point Attempt

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley posted just one fantasy point after he was only given one scoring opportunity on a lone extra point attempt. The Lions won against the Green Bay Packers with its defense and opted to go for a two-point conversion after its first touchdown. Since Dan Campbell likes to pass up field […]

Lions Defense Logs Three Interceptions

The Detroit Lions defense picked quarterback Aaron Rodgers off three times in the red zone in the 15-9 win over the Green Bay Packers. It was a shocking game for one of the worst defenses in the league, but it's not something that can be expected moving forward. The Lions will face the Chicago Bears […]

James Mitchell Catches Touchdown In Win

Detroit Lions tight end James Mitchell caught both of his targets for eight yards and a touchdown in the 15-9 win over the Green Bay Packers. He drew one more target than Brock Wright, but neither can be played on a week-to-week basis after relatively quiet days in the first game without T.J. Hockenson. Mitchell […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Totals 55 Yards

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught four of his nine targets for 55 yards in the win over the Green Bay Packers. It was a disappointing fantasy output, but he continues to be a near lock for eight-plus targets every game, so fantasy managers should continue to roll with him as one of […]

D'Andre Swift Posts 50 Yards On Five Touches

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift rushed twice for 10 yards and caught three passes for 40 yards in the win over the Green Bay Packers. The team said he'd have a limited workload since he's banged up with a shoulder injury, but he continues to be highly efficient and will be a significant fantasy […]

Jamaal Williams Rushes For 81 Yards

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams handled 24 rushes for 81 yards in the win over the Green Bay Packers. He didn't catch a pass or score a touchdown, so his fantasy output puts him in the bust category for Week 9. That said, he continues to lead the Lions' backfield with D'Andre Swift (shoulder) […]

Jared Goff Throws Two Touchdowns In Win

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw for 137 yards and two touchdowns on 14 completions in the 15-9 win over the Green Bay Packers. He also threw one interception. It wasn't a nuclear fantasy day since his yardage total was low, but he was a fine streamer in a week with six teams on a […]

Week 9 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The NFL season and fantasy football season continue to fly by, and with the fantasy playoffs not all that far away, start-or-sit decisions have never been more important. The Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, New York Giants Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and San Francisco 49ers all have kickers out of action on a bye, so […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports for TEs: Darren Waller, Mark Andrews, Cameron Brate

Week 9 features six teams on a bye week and with a few key injuries at tight end, the options are thin at an already scarce position in fantasy football. These are the latest injury updates as of Saturday, November 5 for tight ends Darren Waller, Mark Andrews, and Cameron Brate. As always, things can […]

Jamaal Williams Has Chance To Lead Backfield

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams could be the lead back against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9 if D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) is inactive. Swift is officially questionable, but his game-day status could go either way. Even if Swift does play, Williams is a solid flex play since he dominates the goal-line touches […]

Jared Goff Has High Ceiling, Low Floor Against Packers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is a boom-or-bust play against a league-average Green Bay Packers defense. The Lions' offense is statistically one of the best units in the NFL, but Goff's floor has proven to be low in the matchups against the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys. However, those are two of the top […]

Dontrell Hilliard Could Be A Factor Against Chiefs

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard could have a role in the Titans' game plan against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. If Tennessee gets behind early, Hilliard could see plenty of receiving work since the Titans will be forced to pass. Hilliard already has three receiving touchdowns on the season, and he […]

Malik Willis Could Get Second Career Start

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis could be in line for his second career start against the Kansas City Chiefs as Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is a true game-time decision for Week 9. Willis passed for just 55 yards and an interception on 10 passing attempts against Houston, and if he starts this week, he'll likely have […]

Robert Woods A Risky Week 9 Wideout

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods has been largely unproductive this season, and even though the Kansas City Chiefs allow the third-most fantasy points to the position, he should probably be benched in Week 9. Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is a true game-time decision, and if he doesn't play, Woods' ceiling could be as low as […]

James Conner A Game-Time Decision In Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is officially questionable and will be a game-time decision for the matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. Seattle is a top-10 fantasy matchup for running backs, so it's tough to sit Conner if he does play. He'd be at risk for a limited role, but that's […]

Darren Waller Questionable Against Jaguars

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is officially questionable for the team's Week 9 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Waller hasn't played since Week 5, so his return could come back any time soon, and he's trending toward playing this week. That said, he could be ruled out before Sunday, so fantasy managers […]

Derrick Henry A Strong Week 9 Starter

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is a top-five fantasy asset at the position through eight weeks, so needless to say, he should be started in any matchup. The Kansas City Chiefs have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs, so Henry should be able to produce his week 100-yards and a touchdown performance […]

Cooper Kupp Will Play Against Buccaneers

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) will play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. Kupp suffered a minor ankle injury against the San Francisco 49ers last week, but there was little worry he'd miss this contest. As always, matchup stats can be thrown out the window for elite wideouts, so fantasy […]

Kadarius Toney Likely To Be Active In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney is expected to be active in his first game with the team after being traded from the New York Giants. Toney was acquired last week and got to practice with the Chiefs during the bye week, so he could have had enough time to be an immediate factor. […]

Ryan Tannehill To Be Game-Time Decision For Sunday Night

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Tannehill logged limited practices before missing practice on Thursday, so his availability figures to be about a 50/50 shot in a big AFC primetime matchup. Kansas City has allowed the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, […]

Michael Badgley A Boom-Or-Bust Option

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley hasn't made a huge fantasy impact this season, but since the team has one of the best offenses in the NFL, he certainly has upside. That said, Detroit often opts to go for it on fourth down, so his range of outcomes is wide. He should be considered in deep […]

Lions Defense A Weak Option Against Green Bay

The Detroit Lions defense is arguably the worst unit in the entire NFL, so its fantasy defense/special teams is never on the fantasy radar in any matchup. The Green Bay Packers offense has looked atrocious with a lack of wideouts, but Aaron Rodgers and company can easily bounce back in this juicy matchup.

Kalif Raymond A Decent Flex Play In Week 9

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond has been a strong deep league flex option after posting 151 receiving yards over the last two weeks. The Detroit Lions offense will continue to have to pass to stay competitive since they're often in shootouts, so as long as Jameson Williams (knee) and D.J. Chark (ankle) remain out, […]

Brock Wright Expected To Be Lead Tight End

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright is expected to slot in as the primary receiving tight end after T.J. Hockenson was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. Wright comes into Week 9 with six receptions for 88 yards. Wright missed practice early in the week in the concussion protocol but is trending toward to be able […]

Jonathan Taylor Ruled Out For Week 9

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the Week 9 game against the New England Patriots. He's being called week-to-week and since the Colts look to be building for the future and perhaps boosting its draft position, they likely won't play Taylor unless he's close to 100-percent moving forward. […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Remains A Must-Start

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is set to explode after T.J. Hockenson was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. In four of five career games without Hockenson, St. Brown has racked up at least 90 yards and one receiving touchdown. St. Brown was already the target leader in Detroit, but his target figures moving […]

Randy Bullock Not On Fantasy Radar

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has been far from a high-end fantasy kicker through eight weeks of the season, so he's not a strong option in Tennessee's matchup with Kansas City. With Ryan Tannehill (ankle) banged up, it's likely going to be a lackluster offensive output for the Titans, so Bullock's upside isn't high enough to […]

Titans Defense Far From The Fantasy Radar

The Tennessee Titans defense has impressed in two matchups against the Indianapolis Colts and against the Washington Commanders and Houston Texans. However, the Kansas City Chiefs offense is far more dangerous than any of Tennessee's recent opponents and any fantasy defense/special teams should not be played against it. The Titans possess one of the worst […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For Week 9 (Friday Updates): Michael Thomas, Rashod Bateman, Chuba Hubbard, James Conner

There are six teams on a bye, so the pool of players on the fantasy radar hasn't been larger this season. When you add in injuries, there are a ton of key start-or-sit decisions at the halfway point of the NFL season. Our injury updates and reports for Week 9 as of Friday, November 4th, […]

Is Adam Thielen Healthy or Injured? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Adam Thielen picked up an injury in the win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, so his status will need to be closely monitored as a matchup with the Washington Commanders awaits. Thielen isn't a fantasy superstar at this point in his career, but he's been a solid WR3 or flex play, so he's […]
