WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 9

Welcome to Week 9 of the WR/CB Matchup chart. As the year goes on, the PPGA metric will become more and more predictive. Another important data point to be aware of is the injury report. Defenses missing key secondary pieces are far more susceptible to giving up ceiling games than units that are healthy. Offensive […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 9: Tom Brady, David Montgomery, and Michael Pittman Jr.

With injuries and middling performances ravaging fantasy teams to start the season, it's okay to consider benching players who were relatively highly drafted (top-100) for this week and moving forward. This may be hard to stomach as you bench your QB1 or RB1 for a free-agent acquisition, but sometimes such measures must be taken to […]

NFL Player Props: Bets for Week 9 - Prop Betting Picks for Rushing, Receiving, Passing Yards

Week 9 of the NFL season is here. We're a little over halfway done with the regular season, and we have to continue pushing forward. The NFL teams are gradually separating themselves out into the best and worst teams. It remains possible to bet on inconsistent players and teams, but it's become much easier to […]

Is Darren Waller playing in Week 9? Should I pick up and start Foster Moreau for fantasy football?

It seemed like fantasy managers were getting a great discount on a high-volume tight end throughout the fantasy draft season when Darren Waller was being drafted as the TE4. Unfortunately, things have not gone to plan through the first eight weeks of the season. Waller (and the Raiders’ passing offense in general) has struggled to […]

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 […]

Davante Adams, Mack Hollins Good To Go For Sunday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receivers Davante Adams (illness) and Mack Hollins (heel) were removed from Friday's final injury report and will be active in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

We've reached the Armageddon of NFL bye weeks here in Week 9 with the Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and San Francisco 49ers all not playing this week.

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 […]

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, […]

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Daniel Carlson Remains An Elite Option Against Jacksonville

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson did not register any point-after tries or field-goal attempts during last Sunday's 24-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Raiders' offense will look to bounce against the Jaguars in Week 9 after being shut out last Sunday against New Orleans. Carlson is a perfect 16-for-16 in field goal […]

Are Kenny Pickett and Derek Carr Bad Quarterbacks Dragging Down Their Receiving Options?

'Tis the season of bad Santa, so why not bad quarterbacks? Not because we drafted the quarterbacks on our fantasy teams but because we drafted their weapons. These quarterbacks are dashing our fantasy hopes with their play. The legitimate question is whether it is the quarterback play or the offensive play caller. Carr has the […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 9 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

"The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World is a perfect song to encapsulate how I've been with picks through the first eight weeks of the 2022 NFL season. Green Bay used garbage time to pull out a double-digit cover, while our 6.5-point, three-team teaser cashed in a lovely fashion. I was very wrong about the Texans […]
