Week 9 Quarterback Rankings for Fantasy Football: Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Justin Fields, Derek Carr, Andy Dalton, Jared Goff
Six teams are on the bye this week; fantasy football managers will need to make smarter decisions as their teams get through the bye-week gauntlet.

Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
For weeks I was saying that the New Orleans Saints have shown me no reason to play them as a fantasy defense. Even Warren Sharp tweeted out last week that the Saints were the biggest defensive disappointment on the season. So it's only fitting that the Saints completely dominated the Raiders, even without Marshon Lattimore, […]
Week 9 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
The NFL season and fantasy football season continue to fly by, and with the fantasy playoffs not all that far away, start-or-sit decisions have never been more important. The Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, New York Giants Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and San Francisco 49ers all have kickers out of action on a bye, so […]

Cam Akers Expected To Be Active In Week 9
Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers is expected to suit up for the Week 9 matchup versus the Buccaneers. It's unknown how much work the 23-year-old will get on Sunday. However, considering he hasn't played since Week 5, it's doubtful he'll be involved enough to jeopardize Darrell Henderson's fantasy potential. Still, the Rams' running […]

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 […]
Kyren Williams Won't Return In Week 9
The Los Angeles Rams activated running back Ronnie Rivers from the practice squad to their active roster on Saturday, but rookie running back Kyren Williams (ankle) will not be activated from Injured Reserve.

NFL Rookies to Watch for Fantasy Football Week 9 Including Brian Robinson, Drake London, Romeo Doubs, Isaiah Likely
The 2022 rookie class took a big hit recently when Jets running back Breece Hall tore his ACL in Week 7, ending his season. Even so, New York still had another standout rookie performer last week; wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught seven passes for 115 yards. Other rookies, like Tyler Allgeier, Greg Dulcich, and Isaiah […]
Quarterback Starts/Sits for Week 9 - QB vs. Pass Rush Matchups for Lineup Decisions
Week 9 of the NFL season is here. We're starting to see teams really separate into different levels in the league this year. The good are clearly at one level, and the rest of the league can beat each other on any given Sunday because they don't have the consistency to elevate to the next […]
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 […]
Van Jefferson Will Play On Sunday
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) will play in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jefferson is officially listed as questionable after making his season debut in the Week 8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 26-year-old played 53 percent of the offensive snaps but […]
Cam Akers Could Play Against Buccaneers
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay won't say yet if running back Cam Akers will play in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he did say "there is a possibility." Akers returned to practice this week and wasn't listed on the final injury report on Friday. The 23-year-old fell out of favor […]
NFL DFS Lineup Sleepers for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 9 Value Picks Include Justin Fields, Kenneth Walker III, Christian Kirk, Robert Tonyan
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. Why the NFL has decided to have two teams on a bye some weeks and six in others makes no sense, […]
Cooper Kupp Will Play Against Buccaneers
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) will play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. Kupp suffered a minor ankle injury against the San Francisco 49ers last week, but there was little worry he'd miss this contest. As always, matchup stats can be thrown out the window for elite wideouts, so fantasy […]

Can you believe we are already at Week 9? Well, believe it or not, we are. In Week 8, we witnessed some fantastic showings from several players.

Rams Defense Faces Disappointing Bucs Offense
The Rams defensive unit faces a Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense that has weapons but hasn't been able to get firing. While the Bucs star-studded lineup includes multiple All-Pros at quarterback and wide receiver, they are only scoring 18.3 point per game, 25th most in the league. If the Bucs continue to stumble, the Rams DST […]
Tyler Higbee Could Bounce Back In Week 9
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. The 29-year-old is having his best year since 2019, but he has been off his past two games. In the past two games, Higbee has only had three catches for 22 yards. One reason is because his snap count is […]
Darrell Henderson Jr. Losing Touches In Confused Backfield
Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. The 25-year-old is averaging 5.4 carries in the past five games and only had four carries in the last game, a blowout loss to the 49ers in which he did not start. Ronnie Rivers out-snapped him, but Henderson gained more […]
Allen Robinson II Faces Bump In The Road
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II has been riding a wave of momentum. He has had five catches and 50 receiving yards or more in each of the last two games. That streak may be tough to continue against the sixth-ranked Buccaneers pass defense in Week 9. Prior to last week, Robinson had […]
Matthew Stafford Faces No. 6 Pass Defense
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has a tough matchup in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs defense is allowing the sixth-fewest passing yards per game and the tenth-fewest touchdowns per game. Stafford has struggled against top 10 scoring defenses, averaging 247 yards per game and posting a 3/5 TD/INT ratio in […]
Cam Akers Practices In Full Thursday
Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday.

But the Rams couldn't get what they wanted for him, so Akers […]

Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson Practicing Thursday
Los Angeles Rams wide receivers Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Van Jefferson (knee) were both at least limited participants in Thursday's practice.
