Week 9 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 9 is here, and, for some teams, the NFL season is officially halfway over. The fantasy season is even closer to being done, and wins and losses are becoming more and more important.

Tra Carson Placed On Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed running back Tra Carson (hamstring) on the Injured Reserve on Saturday and signed running back Paul Perkins to the active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Carson surprisingly led the Kerryon Johnson-less backfield in carries last week, but he'll now miss the rest of the season. Rookie Ty […]

Lions Defense Won't Have Tracy Walker Sunday

Detroit Lions defensive back Tracy Walker (knee) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Raiders. Walker has been one of the most productive safeties in IDP leagues, so you'll have to look elsewhere if you've been rolling with him this year. His absence boosts the outlooks of Raiders […]

Tra Carson, Damon Harrison Questionable

Detroit Lions running back Tra Carson (hamstring) and defensive tackle Damon Harrison (groin) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 9 against the Raiders. Carson led the backfield in carries in the first week without Kerryon Johnson, but the Lions still operated as more of a three-headed monster with rookie […]

Week 9 of the NFL season brings another early start in London, and quite a few competitive matchups.

The relatively close nature of the point spreads […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 9

Sometimes two statements can be both totally contradictory and totally true. Technically the Miami Dolphins are trying their hardest to win every game. Also technically, when you let Ryan Fitzpatrick throw the ball 34 times, you aren't really trying to win that game. And sometimes a professional football game can technically be played by non-professional football […]

Welcome Back, Matthew Stafford

The NFC North could be the best division in the league. Not only in terms of overall competitiveness, but in how terrifying each defense has been. The Bears, Packers and of course the Vikings have legit pass defenses in 2019. The best of the bunch is the Vikings, who currently rank sixth in team defense. […]

Week 9 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! Week 8 saw the dramatic return of Drew Brees following his early-season thumb surgery. The Saints just kept rolling, posting 31 points on the leaky Arizona defense.

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks For Week 9 (11/3/19)

Boy, both Indianapolis and Buffalo really crapped the bed last week. Also, I'm not sure how New England doesn't put up a 30-spot on Cleveland, at home, nonetheless. Last week was a step back in the process, but there's still plenty of football to be played. However, be sure to pay attention to my Twitter […]

Tra Carson Lands On Injury Report

Detroit Lions running back Tra Carson (hamstring) landed on the injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant.

Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 9

Danny Amendola A High-End Flex Option In Week 9

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola will look to keep the momentum going in Week 9 in a matchup against the Oakland Raiders. Amendola has eight catches in two consecutive games and has looked very comfortable since his one-catch performance coming off of the Lions bye. More opportunities should be made available to Amendola with […]

Tra Carson A Risky Week 9 Start

Detroit Lions running back Tra Carson led the Lions backfield in touches just one week after being claimed off of waivers and will look to establish himself in Week 9 in a matchup against the Oakland Raiders. Carson totaled 34 yards while backfield mate Ty Johnson put up just 25 yards on seven touches in […]

Ty Johnson A Shaky Week 9 Option

Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson greatly disappointed fantasy owners in Week 8, especially those who used a decent portion of their FAAB to grab him, and things aren't likely to change this week against a Raiders Defense that is currently tied for fifth in yards per carry allowed. Johnson, who was assumed to be the […]

Marvin Jones Looking To Bounce Back In Plus Matchup

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones fell back to earth in Week 8 after posting a 10-catch, four-touchdown performance against the Vikings in Week 7. Jones caught the ball four times for a measly 22 yards against the Giants last week, with his five targets sitting just below his season average. Jones will have his […]

Kenny Golladay A Top WR Option In Week 9

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay is in prime position to keep rolling in Week 9 with a matchup against the Oakland Raiders on tap. After a Week 7 performance that saw Golladay catch just one ball for 21 yards, the third-year wide receiver exploded for 123 yards and two scores on six catches against […]

Matthew Stafford A Must-Start In Week 9

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has been on a tear since failing to find the end zone against the Green Bay Packers in Week 6. The veteran signal-caller has thrown for 706 yards and seven scores over the Lions last two games, and with the Raiders non-existent pass defense on deck for Week 9 he […]
