FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 9 - Daily Fantasy Football

Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Whereas last week was troublesome because there were so many usable DSTs, this week I did a lot of juggling because many of the typical top options have horrendous matchups. Below are RotoBaller's Week 9 defense tiers and rankings, or which defenses to stream, start and target off the waiver wire for Week 9 of […]

Week 9 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 9 is here, and, for some teams, the NFL season is officially halfway over. The fantasy season is even closer to being done, and wins and losses are becoming more and more important. You're jostling to get into the playoffs and ideally going for that first round bye. Kickers remain a fickle mistress. Indianapolis […]

Song Remains the Same: Josh Gordon Tempting Fantasy Players in Seattle

When the Patriots placed Josh Gordon on injured reserve before Week 8, fantasy football players had a challenging decision to make on the unreliable (but always alluring) wide receiver. They were considering cutting him because his production had been disappointing to this point in the season and his knee problems were still an issue. Because […]

Ed Dickson To Be Game-Time Decision

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Ed Dickson (knee), who is still on the Injured Reserve, will be a game-time decision for Week 9 against the Buccaneers. Dickson has yet to make his season debut, but he could immediately become the team's top pass-catching tight end with Will Dissly out for […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for Week 9 (11/3/19) - Monkey Knife Fight

Week 9 of the NFL season brings another early start in London, and quite a few competitive matchups. Heading into the weekend, there is only one Sunday game with a point spread greater than five points. (Dallas is favored by seven at the Giants on Monday night.) The relatively close nature of the point spreads […]

Red Zone Risers/Fallers - Tevin Coleman, Julian Edelman, Derrick Henry

We are now past the mid-point of the season, meaning it is time to look at getting your roster in shape for your playoff push and beyond to the championship weeks. As fantasy owners, we know that not all touches are equal. A touch in the red zone has an increased chance of scoring a […]

K.J. Wright A Mediocre Flex Option

Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright ranked 16th at the position in fantasy points over the last five weeks. He has 43 tackles (21 solo), no sacks and four passes defended. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a midrange matchup for linebackers, and Wright doesn't carry a ton of upside. You can consider him as a flex […]

Bobby Wagner A Flex Candidate

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner has been quiet the last five games, slotting outside of the top 12 in fantasy points during the stretch. His matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is a midrange one, which may not push him back into LB1 status in individual defensive player leagues. He would be worth flex consideration.

Seahawks Defense Worth Streaming

The Seattle Seahawks Defense has been a low-end option the last five weeks. They have just seven sacks in five games, but they have forced 10 turnovers and took one back to the house. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of the best matchups for opposing defenses, and the Seahawks are a midrange option at […]

D.K. Metcalf Has Promising Forecast

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has quietly been a top-25 receiver over the last five weeks. His 14 catches for 185 yards don't wow you, but he has three touchdowns as well. His hot streak could continue this week, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been the worst at defending the position the last […]

Tyler Lockett A Pick To Click

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been a high-end WR2 the last five weeks, and he has a tantalizing matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Lockett has caught 24 passes for 338 yards and two scores the last five games. In contrast, the Buccaneers have allowed receivers to average 16 receptions for 201.5 yards […]

Rashaad Penny A Flex Consideration

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny has been decent when he is on the field the last five weeks. He rushed 14 times for 73 yards in two games. With Chris Carson running as well as he has the last five weeks, Penny has a hard time slotting in. The matchup against the Tampa Bay […]

Chris Carson An RB1 This Week

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has been an RB1 over the last five weeks. He rushed for 501 yards and two scores with another through the air over the last five games. He'll have a tough test against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. The Bucs have been among the best against the position […]

Russell Wilson A Top-Flight Play

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been the third-best quarterback in fantasy the last five weeks. He also has a fabulous matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week to do more damage. Wilson has averaged 245.2 passing yards and two touchdowns per game through the air the last five games. He only threw one […]

Josh Gordon Claimed By Seahawks

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) was claimed off of waivers by the Seattle Seahawks Friday. Gordon passed his exit physical with the Patriots, and he is healthy. However, it's highly unlikely he suits up in Week 9. He could play in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers before the team's bye […]

Week 9 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 9

Many fantasy football trades get rejected or talks break off because the team making offers does not think things through. The owner sending the offer usually thinks about only what they want and need and how little they may be able to part with. Such offers usually consist of one owner simply deciding on the […]

The Forthcoming Resurrection of Cam Newton

After Kyle Allen’s 4-0 start as the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, many fans and analysts were clamoring for his permanent placement atop the depth chart. They believed Cam Newton was essentially finished and less efficient than Allen when he was actually on the field. Then Allen imploded against a tough San Francisco defense […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 9

Whether your fantasy team is sitting pretty at 7-1 or is still clawing toward contention at 3-5, you shouldn't neglect the waiver wire.
