Wide Receiver / Cornerback Matchups To Target in Week 9

In Week 8, the only unfamiliar faces to crack the top 15 at the wide receiver position were Chris Conley and Hunter Renfrow. Conley's big day came because Dede Westbrook was in and out of the game as he struggled with a shoulder injury, resulting in more targets heading Conley's way. Renfrow was fantasy-relevant because he […]

Week 9 Fantasy Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

In most fantasy leagues, there are just five weeks left before the playoffs begin. Time is running out. Let's take a look at the top fantasy scorers (standard scoring) at each position thus far... Deshaun Watson leads all QBs with 229.8 fantasy points at 28.7 points per game. Do-it-all back Christian McCaffrey is the highest-scoring […]

Week 9 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

Now that the bye weeks are in full swing; streaming becomes a more viable and almost necessary strategy. Knowing who to add and when to start them could be the ultimate difference-maker in a weekly matchup. Making the right streaming decisions throughout the season could easily be the difference between missing the playoffs and having […]

Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Whereas last week was troublesome because there were so many usable DSTs, this week I did a lot of juggling because many of the typical top options have horrendous matchups. Below are RotoBaller's Week 9 defense tiers and rankings, or which defenses to stream, start and target off the waiver wire for Week 9 of […]

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. You're jostling to get into the playoffs and ideally going for that first round bye. Kickers remain a fickle mistress. Indianapolis […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for Week 9 (11/3/19) - Monkey Knife Fight

Week 9 of the NFL season brings another early start in London, and quite a few competitive matchups. Heading into the weekend, there is only one Sunday game with a point spread greater than five points. (Dallas is favored by seven at the Giants on Monday night.) 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 […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch - Marquise Brown, Devin Singletary, Hunter Renfrow

Week 9 of the fantasy football season is banging on your front door with the force of a thousand fists. Hopefully, you're at a point in your win-loss record where you feel comfortable letting it in. Now, let's all take a seat on the couch as we once again turn our focus to the 2019 draft […]

Josh Oliver Not A Fantasy Option Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie tight end Josh Oliver made his first NFL reception in Week 8, but he shouldn't be expected to play a larger role when the Jaguars play the Texans in Week 9. One issue is that Oliver -- who impressed enough in training camp to earn some preseason sleeper hype -- got a […]

Chris Conley Could See Expanded Role In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley could be in for a larger role in Sunday's meeting with the Houston Texans if Dede Westbrook (neck) is limited or misses the game. The Texans allow more fantasy points to wide receivers than any other team in the NFL, setting the Jaguars passing attack up to have a […]

D.J. Chark Is A Must-Start In Week 9

With Dede Westbrook (neck) still questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, the brunt of the passing attack for the Jacksonville Jaguars will likely rest on second-year wide receiver D.J. Chark. No NFL team allows more points to wide receivers than Houston, so Chark's got a great matchup. Chark caught seven passes for 55 […]

Leonard Fournette Is Solid RB2 In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette may have struggled aside from one long run in Week 8 and he will face a Texans Defense in Week 9 that ranks near the middle of the NFL in fantasy points allowed to running backs, but he's still a very solid RB2 with upside. Fournette had a season-low […]

Gardner Minshew Should Have Solid Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew is coming off the first three-touchdown game of his NFL career in Week 8 and will look to continue throwing the ball well in London against the Texans on Sunday. Houston allows the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks and have given up 18 passing touchdowns with just […]

Jacksonville's Confusing Pass Offense

Outside of Leonard Fournette, it has been hard to consistently trust a fantasy option on Jacksonville's offense. Nick Foles broke his collarbone in Week 1, thrusting sixth-round rookie Gardner Minshew II into the starting lineup. The tight end position is simply not producing numbers. We've seen the likes of James O'Shaughnessy and Geoff Swaim attempt […]

Josh Lambo Will Kick In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (groin) will be able to kick in Week 9 against the Texans. Lambo missed practice this week, but it looks like that was just a precaution. He's been perfect on his field-goal tries this year and has missed one extra point. In a game in which the Jags offense should […]

Dede Westbrook Questionable For Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Texans. This could come down to a game-time decision, but luckily for fantasy owners the Jaguars are playing an early morning game in London this Sunday. Because of the injury, Westbrook will be a shaky WR4/flex if he […]

Josh Lambo Not On The Practice Field

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. It puts his status in question for Week 9 against the Texans. The 28-year-old has been perfect on his 21 field-goal tries this year, and he's 12-for-13 on extra points. If he can play this weekend, he'll be a starting option for fantasy owners […]

Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark Limited Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) and D.J. Chark (quadriceps) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Westbrook is the one to watch this week, as he was inactive in Week 8 and could be questionable to face the Texans in Week 9. If he plays, he'll be a riskier WR3/4 against a […]

Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If there is a week to pick Keelan Cole up, it is this one. Against the Jets on Sunday both Marqise Lee and Dede Westbrook had to leave the field injured. That leaves the Jaguars in a shaky situation at the receiver position […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

As we enter the second half of the fantasy regular season, all eyes will be on the news wire as the trade deadline approaches. We already recommended some players to add/stash/acquire ahead of October 29, so hopefully you were able to take action this past week. If not, don't worry - there are still plenty of […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 9

Whether your fantasy team is sitting pretty at 7-1 or is still clawing toward contention at 3-5, you shouldn't neglect the waiver wire. Especially in deeper leagues where you need any edge you can get at the flex position. With bye weeks in full effect and the free agent scraps getting fewer and fewer, let […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 8 Outliers

Week 8 didn't offer too many surprises for the most part. There were, however, a few players that registered multiple-touchdown performances which elevated them up the ranks, such as Aaron Jones (2 TD), Tevin Coleman (4 TD), Latavius Murray (2 TD) and Mike Evans (2 TD). For the most part, the players that scored multiple […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

We're heading into the ninth week of NFL football now. Time flies and all that, right? Week 8 was one of those weeks where it can be hard to watch football, as the matchups weren't great and the best teams kept winning and anyone who had to play against Tevin Coleman had a really bad […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 9

We have no new major quarterback injuries as of writing this, but the injuries from past weeks have really thinned out the waiver wire for those of us who stream quarterbacks. Not to worry though, as there are still plenty of good options out there if you're in need. We've got four teams on bye […]
