NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 9) - Targets and Avoids

Football. The game doesn't add up. Sometimes all stats point to one team dominating but just the opposite happens.

Josh Jacobs Enters The Week Healthy

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (chest), who suffered a chest injury in the Week 7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, is not on the injury report for Week 9.

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?
