Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups for Week 9 - Marcus Mariota, Tyler Allgeier and Terrace Marshall Jr.

After a brutal Week 7 that stole many weekly fantasy contributors from our lineup, Week 8 was much more kind. There were some injury scares, but we escaped in relatively good shape. Hopefully, that holds up moving forward. Even without the injuries, Week 9 is already taking away plenty of our usual starters.  There are […]

Harrison Butker A Strong Fantasy Kicker For Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is a top-five kicking option for fantasy managers in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee's pass defense has some issues, and the Chiefs should be able to move down the field fairly consistently, which should offer Butker ample chances to kick, whether it be via field goals or […]

Chiefs Defense Has Upside In Week 9

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has decent upside this week against a Tennessee Titans team that ranks 24th in scoring offense this season. The Chiefs rank just 23rd in scoring defense, so there's no guarantee that they'll hold the Titans offense in check as well as other teams have, but with a lot of teams […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Boom/Bust Play In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling has posted some puzzling receiving yardage totals in his last three games -- 90, zero and 111 yards. His speed makes him a threat to break off a long catch-and-run or haul in a deep pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but his limited target share makes him just […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is Risky Play In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has just one game this season with double-digit carries and in the last game before the bye, he saw a season-low six carries, though he turned one of them into a touchdown. The Chiefs face the Titans in Week 9, who allow the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Looks To Continue Strong Run

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had some mediocre showings earlier in the season, but he hit his stride before the bye, with five catches for 113 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 and then seven for 124 and a score in Week 7. It looks like Smith-Schuster is the big-play receiver for […]

Travis Kelce Is The Top Fantasy Tight End Option For Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been the best tight end in fantasy this season and there's no reason to think that changes on Sunday against a Titans team that allows the 10th-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Kelce has either 98 or more yards or at least one touchdown in […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Excel Against Titans

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be considered a high-end QB1 play in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans currently rank 24th in the NFL in passing yards allowed, giving up 254 per game. Mahomes has thrown for over 300 yards in each of the last two games and will have a […]

NFL DFS Lineup Sleepers for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 9 Value Picks Include Justin Fields, Kenneth Walker III, Christian Kirk, Robert Tonyan

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.
