Week 9 Outlooks For Fantasy Football
Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams - Fantasy Football Outlook
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp looks to return to WR1 form after his solid return in Week 8, even though fellow wideout Puka Nacua (knee) overshadowed him. He caught five passes on eight targets for 51 yards and a receiving touchdown. Week 9 presents a solid matchup against a Seattle Seahawks defense that ranks 16th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers.
Nacua's status against Seattle is uncertain, meaning more targets could be heading Kupp's way if Nacua is ruled out. Darius Slayton, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Khalil Shakir have all gone over 100 yards receiving in recent weeks against them. The Rams' offense seems to be back in peak form with all of their weapons back.
Expect his target share to continue to go up each week, as history has shown when Matthew Stafford is under center. Kupp should be started with confidence in all lineups and check in as RotoBaller's WR10 in the Week 9 rankings.
- Jake Walker, RotoBaller
Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins - Fantasy Football Outlook
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle enters Week 9 having only scored 10-plus PPR points in one game in 2024. Even with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returning to the lineup last week, he could only record four receptions on six targets for 45 yards. To add insult to injury, Waddle has yet to score a touchdown through seven games.
This week presents a tough matchup against a Buffalo Bills defense that gives up the sixth-least fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. Waddle has been held to eight catches for 87 yards in the last two appearances against Buffalo. Making matters worse is the fact that temperatures are projected to drop into the thirties in Orchard Park on Sunday.
It wouldn't be surprising if he has another disappointing performance this week. Despite the tough matchup, Waddle is WR27 in the latest RotoBaller rankings, making him a high-end WR3 against the Bills for Week 9.

Brian Robinson Jr., Washington Commanders - Fantasy Football Outlook
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game against the New York Giants according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The Alabama product has been a limited participant all week with a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old was also dealing with a knee injury and had to sit out during Week 6.
Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the weekend as Robinson may be a game-time decision leading up to their divisional battle against the Giants. Robinson has scored double-digit PPR points in all but one game this season and has found the end zone six times in seven games. If he is unable to suit up, Austin Ekeler should be expected to see the majority of work with Jeremy McNichols serving as a change-of-pace option.
