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.

T.J. Hockenson To Play Key Role Sunday

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson has worked hard to learn his new team's offense and is expected to play a key role during Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler. He notes that the team "plans to get [Hockenson] in there as much as it can." The 25-year-old should be […]

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 […]

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 […]

Vikings Defense A Potential Streamer In Week 9

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is a potential streaming option as they take on the Commanders in Week 9. Quarterback Taylor Heinicke has surprisingly played well during his time as the starter for Washington, but we saw him struggle at times during the 2021 season, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Vikings […]

Greg Joseph A Streaming Option In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph is a risky streaming option in Week 9 as he has connected on just one field goal in his last three games. Joseph is one-for-four over that span, as he has been an unreliable option on a weekly basis. He has been perfect on attempts within 49 yards but has […]

T.J. Hockenson A Low-End TE1 In Vikings Debut

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to start off strong with his new team against the Commanders in Week 9, who have allowed the second-fewest points to tight ends this season. It is unknown how much playing time Hockenson will get in his first game in a new offense, so there definitely is […]

Adam Thielen A Flex Option Versus Commanders

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will find his way into the flex discussion against a beatable Commanders' secondary in Week 9, as the veteran has seen 31 targets over the past four games. Thielen, who has been notorious for finding the end zone, has only scored two touchdowns this season. However, his usage suggests […]

Justin Jefferson An Elite WR1 Option Versus Commanders

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to find the end zone through the air for the first time since Week 1 as the Vikings travel to Washington. Jefferson has 34 catches for 506 yards in his past four games, so he has been able to provide WR1 value despite having trouble scoring touchdowns […]

Dalvin Cook Looks To Keep Rolling In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will look to build on a strong past three games, as the Pro-Bowler has scored four touchdowns over this span after a slow start to the season. He carved up the Cardinals' defense in Week 8, as he recorded his first 100-yard game this season. Going up against the […]

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, […]

Kirk Cousins A QB1 Option Against Commanders

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to build on a solid performance from Week 8 as he will lead his offense against the Commanders in Week 9. Cousins is coming off a 254-yard, three-total touchdown performance, as he has cemented himself as a weekly QB1 option, which has been a fairly thin position so […]
