The Fantasy Stock Exchange By Gary Davenport

FANTASY STOCK EXCHANGE: Week 9

In my years covering fantasy football and the NFL, I’ve earned a nickname – a moniker of sorts.

“The hardest working man in fantasy football.”

No, I didn’t give myself that nickname. I’d have gone with “The Fantasy Beefcake” or something similarly

catchy. I don’t know that it’s true, either. There are a lot of really hard working men and women who cover the

game.

But it also isn’t inaccurate. I work at least 70 hours a week in-season. Days off are a myth. I’ve passed on any

number of family and/or social functions because there was work to be done. Odds are given the way the NFL

schedule breaks down this year I’m going to have to hire elves to do my last-minute Christmas shopping, and

with a full slate during Championship Week on Christmas Eve…

Let’s just say when I think about it “jolly” isn’t the word that leaps to mind.

What I wasn’t going to do, however, is tell a beautiful four-year-old girl in a dragon costume that I was too

busy to take her Trick-or-Treating. Not on your life.

So this week’s version of the Stock Exchange is going to be a bit truncated. Abbreviated, even. It’s going to

have the same number of players moving up and down – just less jabbering by me about why they are.

Hell, it may well be that you find this the best, easiest to read edition of this column this season. If that’s the

case, just keep it to yourself – there’s no need to get mean.

I don’t mind busting my ass to help you win your fantasy league. I love my job – long hours and all. And it is my

job – I’m one of the fortunate few who have been able to make writing a career and not just a hobby.

But occasionally even the hardest working man in fantasy football needs a little slack…

Because dragons.

QUARTERBACKS

STOCK UP: Derek Carr, Oakland Raiders: Carr is coming off a franchise record 513 passing yards last week

against the Buccaneers. The Raiders aren’t the type of team that plays 20-17 games – 44-37 is more like it.

Shootouts are tasty – like Halloween candy.

STOCK DOWN: Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers: Newton isn’t the only one who isn’t having fun during his

games. He’s been the fantasy equivalent of that house that hands out apples when you’re hoping for Snickers

bars.



STOCK UP: Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers: For a while Rodgers’ fantasy owners were in the same boat as

Newton’s. But with the Green Bay ground game in shambles the 2014 MVP has been throwing the ball a TON

the past couple of weeks.

STOCK DOWN: Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks: I love Wilson as a player. But he’s 14 kinds of banged up

playing behind a line that won’t give him a chance to get right. This isn’t an issue that’s going to disappear any

time soon.

RUNNING BACKS

STOCK UP: Devontae Booker, Denver Broncos: Booker’s 19 carries for 54 yards isn’t a stat line that makes one

salivate. But the rookie found the end zone against San Diego and touched the ball 20 times – he’s a legitimate

fantasy RB1 so long as Anderson’s out.

STOCK DOWN: Mark Ingram, New Orleans Saints: As if it wasn’t bad enough that Ingram was benched for

fumbling last week against Seattle, his fantasy owners then got to watch Tim freaking Hightower peel off a

100-yard day against the Seahawks. Talk about salt in the wound.

STOCK UP: Antone Smith, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jacquizz Rodgers is the latest Tampa running back to go

down with what looked like a potentially serious ankle injury. This week at least, Smith’s in line to be “the guy”

in a plus matchup with Atlanta.

STOCK DOWN: Christine Michael, Seattle Seahawks: Speaking of plus matchups, Michael had one last week

against the Saints and disappointed. With CJ Prosise getting more work and Thomas Rawls nearing a return,

Michael’s time as a no-brainer fantasy start may be nearing its end.

WIDE RECEIVERS

STOCK UP: Allen Hurns, Jacksonville Jaguars: Hurns is coming off his best game in a good long while – a 7/98/1

effort against the Tennessee Titans. Even better, that game featured the return of a fantasy favorite – Blake

Bortles garbage time!

STOCK DOWN: Doug Baldwin, Seattle Seahawks: Baldwin’s issues this year go way beyond Seattle’s offensive

inconsistency. The fact is Baldwin’s status as Russell Wilson’s go-to guy in the red zone is gone – and with it so

is a lot of Baldwin’s fantasy value.

STOCK UP: Jordy Nelson, Green Bay Packers: Yes, both Ty Montgomery and Randall Cobb were out against the

Atlanta Falcons, but hopefully Nelson’s big Week 8 was the beginning of a positive trend and not just one fluke

game.

STOCK DOWN: DeAndre Hopkins, Houston Texans: Let’s see, how can I put this diplomatically – Brock

Osweiler sucks so, so bad. Let’s put it this way, Week 9 is the best I’ve felt about Nuk in a while – and he’s on a

bye. Damn you Brock. Damn you straight to Hell.



TIGHT ENDS

STOCK UP: Tyler Eifert, Cincinnati Bengals: Any questions about whether Eifert is “back” were answered

emphatically in London. After his 9/102/1 stat line against the Washington Redskins Eifert’s ready to start

returning top-five numbers for fantasy owners who were patient with him.

STOCK DOWN: Gary Barnidge, Cleveland Browns: Barnidge managed only three catches against the Jets last

week even with his buddy Josh McCown under center. With Cody Kessler about to continue Cleveland’s quest

for anti-perfection, Barnidge is back to being a marginal starter at best.

STOCK UP: Austin Hooper, Atlanta Falcons: Hooper was a surprisingly big part of the Atlanta passing game in

last week’s big win over Green Bay after Jacob Tamme went down. With six teams taking Week 9 off, the

rookie’s worth a look as a desperation start against Tampa.

STOCK DOWN: Hunter Henry, San Diego Chargers: Elsewhere in the land of rookie tight ends, things aren’t as

rosy. Henry was invisible in Week 8 against the Broncos, and with Antonio Gates back up to speed the odds of

that changing aren’t especially good.

The Red Zone: Week 9

Thomas Casale

Passing

Jameis Winston, Buccaneers – Winston has been better in fantasy football than real football this

season. Part of the reason why is his success in the red zone. Winston has completed 16-of-32 passes

with 10 touchdowns in the red zone. The Buccaneers defense is abysmal. Look for Winston to have

plenty of red zone opportunities over the final two months of the season.

Carson Wentz, Eagles – Wentz has attempted 38 red zone passes. He’s completed 19 with seven

touchdowns. Wentz’s red zone numbers are going to limit his fantasy value. The Eagles lack weapons

in the passing game and the team prefers to run the ball near the goal line. Wentz hasn’t turned the ball

over in the red zone but his ceiling is limited because of the Eagles lack of talent and play calling.

Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers – Roethlisberger has a shot to return in Week 9 just two weeks after

meniscus surgery. He’s been money in the red zone this year. Big Ben has completed 14 passes in the

red zone. Eight of those completions have gone for touchdowns. The presence of Le’Veon Bell steals

away some of Roethlisberger’s attempts but he’ll still have plenty of opportunities to reward fantasy

owners over the final two months if he can stay healthy.

Rushing

DeMarco Murray, Titans – Are you starting to think Chip Kelly doesn’t know what he’s doing?

Murray is having a strong bounce back season in Tennessee. He’s been one of the best red zone

runners with six touchdowns on 23 carries. Even with the presence of Derrick Henry, Murray is seeing

a solid 62 percent of the Titans red zone carries. He also has two red zone touchdown receptions on

nine targets. Murray is dealing with a toe injury but as long as he stays healthy and doesn’t cross paths

with Kelly again, he’ll remain a red zone stud.

Jay Ajayi, Dolphins – Ajayi has four red zone touchdowns on 15 attempts. That may not seem

impressive until you consider most of the production has come in the last two games. With Arian

Foster retiring, Ajayi is the unquestioned lead back in Miami for the rest of the season. Ajayi is seeing

52 percent of the Dolphins red zone carries. That number will rise significantly over the next two

months.

Ryan Mathews, Eagles – Mathews was one of the best red zone runners early in the season but the

bottom has fallen out on his fantasy value. Mathews did score a short touchdown run against the

Cowboys but he only carried the ball four times. He’s scored four red zone touchdowns on 15 carries

this season. He’s only seeing 43 percent of the Eagles red zone carries. Mathews will still score from

short range every now and then but his days of being the Eagles main red zone threat are long over.

Receiving – WR



Michael Crabtree, Raiders – The Raiders are rolling and Derek Carr has a lot of weapons at his

disposal. However, when Carr gets in the red zone his two favorite targets are Crabtree and Seth

Roberts. Crabtree has been targeted nine times in the red zone with four touchdowns. Roberts has been

targeted nine times with three scores. Carr has done a great job this year throwing to the open man but

in the red zone, Crabtree and Roberts have been the Raiders most productive receivers.

Kelvin Benjamin, Panthers – Early in the year Benjamin had caught all three of his red zone targets

for touchdowns. Now heading into Week 9, Benjamin has been targeted seven times in the red zone.

He still has three touchdowns. Benjamin is one of the most dangerous red zone targets in the NFL. He

hasn’t scored a red zone touchdown since Week 2. That’s unacceptable.

Dez Bryant, Cowboys – Bryant has been targeted five times in the red zone this season. He has one

touchdown. One of the problems Bryant faces is while Dak Prescott does many things well as a rookie,

one of them isn’t throwing a fade near the goal line. That’s one pass Prescott has struggled throwing

early in his career. Dez will continue to see targets in the red zone but it would be nice if he ran more

than just the one route his quarterback doesn’t throw all that well yet.

Receiving – TE

Martellus Bennett, Patriots – Bennett has taken a clear back seat to Rob Gronkowski as expected.

He’s been targeted five times in the red zone with three touchdowns but he’s been a non-factor over

the last three games. Bennett will score some red zone touchdowns when he releases uncovered near

the goal line but he’s going to be tough for fantasy owners to trust every week.

Cameron Brate, Buccaneers – Brate has made the most of his red zone opportunities, he just needs

more opportunities. Brate has been targeted seven times in the red zone. He’s caught four of those

targets and scored three touchdowns. Brate is seeing 23 percent of the Buccaneers red zone targets.

With Mike Evans Tampa Bay’s only real threat at receiver, that number needs to be higher.



THE DAILY PLANET BY TODD COLBURN

The Daily Planet – Week 9

By Todd Colburn

Week 7 was a decent one for the Daily Planet. We were pleased with the way our guys delivered, so

many of our entries cashed. We were a couple of dud performances away from some big wins,

however, as big investments such as Allen Robinson, Amari Cooper and Buffalo defense were

awful. However, Tyrell Williams and James White delivered some great value. Jerick McKinnon

left early with injury; one of the biggest of fantasy bummers. Marcus Mariota didn’t have his best

day, but still returned a decent result for the investment. Week 8 presents a bit of a challenge with six

teams on BYE…we’ve got a smaller player universe to work with, so let’s dig in and find the smart

plays for Week 8:

BYES in Week 9: New England, Cincinnati, Houston, Washington, Chicago, Arizona

VEGAS-SOURCING

Vegas-sourcing is the term I use for the strategy of using the knowledge of the wise guys to inform

your daily fantasy decisions. Each week you’ll want to build a base of information around the

matchups. Vegas bookmakers have an uncanny ability to project what teams are going to put up on the

scoreboard. The over/unders and the spread give you a free look at what the experts think each team is

going to produce. So instead of “crowdsourcing,” we present: “Vegas-sourcing.” You just extrapolate

the projected points scored by a team by looking at the Over/Unders and cross-referencing the spreads.

Keep in mind that the numbers all change throughout the week, so don’t get too worked up if the line

has moved based on what you see below. The takeaway is the same whether Vegas is projecting 28 or

29 points scored by a team at different points throughout the week.

High Scorers: Green Bay 30.5

Low Scorers: Philadelphia 20.25

Dallas 28.25

New York Jets 20.25

Atlanta 27.75

Seattle 18.75

New Orleans 27.75

Jacksonville 18

San Diego 26.5

Detroit 17.5

Notable: Kansas City 25.75

San Francisco 24.25

Oakland 21.5

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdsourcing



With the exception of Green Bay replacing New England (BYE) in the top spot this week, the Top 5

is identical to last week. With the matchups that each face, it’s perfectly reasonable to expect big

scoring performances out of each of those five, though San Diego makes me nervous against an

underrated Tennessee defense. Vegas has fully bought into the Packers’ Zero RB philosophy and

expect more of the same going forward. The Bottom 5 consists of some usual suspects plus Seattle. I

don’t think there is a single team who has found themselves in both the Top 5 and Bottom 5 this many

times. Vegas doesn’t understand Seattle. Fair to say though, you should be cautious in any Seahawk

investment. After hearing incessantly about Matthew Stafford for two weeks, Detroit brings up the

rear after their lackluster showing in Week 8. Kansas City was in the Top 5 until it was announced

that Alex Smith will not be starting against Jacksonville. The Chiefs are now the 6th

highest projected

point-scorer. The big concern, of course, is whether or not Spencer Ware will be going this week,

though some might be more concerned about Nick Foles. I’m probably one of his five fans. I believe

he got a raw deal on a horrible St. Louis Rams team, and his situation with old coach Andy Reid and

old fave target Jeremy Maclin has us feeling like it’s 2013 all over again. Everyone wants to stay

away from San Francisco, but Vegas has them as a Top 10 offense this week against New Orleans.

Plan accordingly. It’s human nature to want to go heavy on a team that cleaned up the previous week,

but fade your Oakland Raiders. The Denver D will not be mocked.

WEEK 9 VALUE PLAYS

DEFENSE: Defense is where I usually like to steal some value. You can usually find some nice

inefficiencies in pricing on defense. I will often start my roster construction with defense, looking for

the best relative value, with an emphasis on low price. Some weeks, the matchup compels you to take

the high-priced options, but I like to spend my money elsewhere.

DraftKings Salary FanDuel Salary

Kansas City $3500 Denver $5000

Carolina $3400 Seattle $4900

Philadelphia $3100 Philadelphia $4600

Buffalo $2800 Atlanta $4500

Atlanta $2700 Buffalo $4200

I went a little high on the “values” this week, but I’m certain that Denver is an elite defense, regardless

of matchup. FanDuel is giving away Denver this week, and I’m fine with paying up for it. Seattle at

home for $4900 is a sweet deal as well. My splurge on DraftKings is Kansas City at $3500 at home

versus Jacksonville. Money in the bank. Carolina has a new lease on life after last week’s win, and

they have a nice matchup with Los Angeles. If you do need to go cheaper on defense, I really like

Atlanta on DK and Buffalo on FD. The Philadelphia defense at that price is interesting, as the NY



Giants feel borderline toxic right now on offense. Philly should create some turnovers and sacks this

week.

QUARTERBACK: Normally I like to pay up for the best QB options, as they are such a big source

of points. This week is no exception, as some of the highest-priced players project to score big this

weekend (I’m looking at you, Drew Brees). But if you want to go big at another position, here are

some values for you to consider:


Ben Roethlisberger $6600 Jameis Winston $7700

Jameis Winston $6100 Dak Prescott $7600

Dak Prescott $6100 Marcus Mariota $7600

Marcus Mariota $5900 Ben Roethlisberger $7500

Nick Foles $5200 Nick Foles $6800

Let me start by saying that if Ben Roethlisberger plays this week (and surely he will be, right?), you

have to take that really seriously for daily leagues. Roethlisberger is a mutant when it comes to

healing, and his price this week, especially on FanDuel, is very, very attractive. You have to give that

due consideration if he looks to be playing this week. If not, some combination of Jameis Winston,

Dak Prescott and Marcus Mariota will pepper my lineups. Good bets, good matchups, good salaries,

all. But I’m most intrigued by Nick Foles at the bargain basement price. This gives you a ton of

flexibility, and Foles can absolutely return 4X on that salary.

RUNNING BACK: Normally, I’m looking for value at RB and paying up for top WRs. With so

many roles in question, it’s hard to justify going too deep into the bargain bin, but here are some guys

outside of the top tier to consider:


Jonathan Stewart $5200 Carlos Hyde $7000

Terrance West $4700 Terrance West $6400

Charcandrick West $4400 Jonathan Stewart $6400

Latavius Murray $4000 Tevin Coleman $5800

Antone Smith $3000 Charcandrick West $5600

I’ve got a long history of advocating for Antone Smith. I love to see that he’s getting another

opportunity in Tampa. You will not find more potential upside in a $3,000 salary. His salary makes

going big elsewhere very easy; and he is thought to be the lead dog in that backfield this week. You

also have to consider Charcandrick West if in fact Spencer Ware is unable to go this week – he’s an

especially good value on FD. Latavius Murray doesn’t have a super matchup, but he’s usually a lock



for a TD, so he is a very cheap high floor player this week in cash games. The value of the week has to

be Jonathan Stewart. I hope you took our advice and started him last week, but if you didn’t, perhaps

he’ll score you two MORE touchdowns this week.

WIDE RECEIVER: Most weeks, my plan will be to max out the wide receiver position. I’ll try to get

top guys for their reliability. With one higher-end RB, you might have to find at least one bargain

among this position group. Here are some options for Week 9:


Jarvis Landry $7100 Davante Adams $7100

Demaryius Thomas $6000 Terrelle Pryor $7000

Davante Adams $5900 Emmanuel Sanders $6800

Jordan Matthews $5700 Jordan Matthews $5800

Quincy Enunwa $5100 Tyrell Williams $5600

Since New England is on a BYE, you are in no danger of my recommending Julian Edelman, rest

easy. But I do like Jordan Matthews, whose salary is so low, you’ll hardly notice it counting against

your cap this week. I like him to get another TD grab this week. Quincy Enunwa is starting to make

Brandon Marshall seem irrelevant – get in while the price is right. As per usual, the best,

undervalued Denver WR depends on what site you’re on – choose accordingly. Now that Tyrell

Williams is done with Denver, his ascendency can continue unchecked.

TIGHT END: I’m going extreme on TE most of the time. Either it’s Gronk or Jordan Reed if the

numbers work out right (I find multiple bargains at other positions), or I might be punting TE. That

said, punting TE doesn’t mean you put a can of corn out there. You can get a quality contributor for

cheap. Here are some options:


Kyle Rudolph $4000 Jason Witten $5200

Gary Barnidge $3900 Gary Barnidge $5200

Dennis Pitta $3800 Dennis Pitta $5200

Coby Fleener $3400 Kyle Rudolph $5000

Ladarius Green $2500 Ladarius Green $4500

I’m watching Ladarius Green very closely; the moment he’s activated he’s instantly relevant for

fantasy. It’s looking like he’ll sit another week, but he’s at the bottom in salary if he’s activated.

Meanwhile, I love Kyle Rudolph this week; he draws Detroit, who has allowed 8 TDs to TEs this



season. Get him in your lineup at this very favorable price. I also like the matchups for Gary

Barnidge and Dennis Pitta. Their opponents are both Top 10 in points allowed to TEs.

ASSUME THE POSITION BY BILL AQUAVIVA

ASSUME THE POSITION: Week 9

Andre Johnson is retiring...only 2 years too late. Jamaal Charles is on IR and his career may be over.

RB Knile Davis was cut by Green Bay, and will now be cut by the Jets, Bucs RB Jacquizz Rodgers is

injured so they re-signed Mike James, who you should ignore, and Blake Bortles is working on his

mechanics with a personal QB coach, to go along with his new offensive coordinator. Derek Carr

tosses 513 yards and 4 TDs with no picks; only the 3rd QB in history to do that. Jay Cutler returned

this week against the Vikings, only 3 RBs cracked 100 yards on Sunday (DeMarco Murray, Melvin

Gordon and Tim Hightower), and Buffalo’s fill-in RB for LeSean McCoy, Mike Gillislee rushed for

85 yards and a TD. Aaron Rodgers is looking more like himself the last two weeks and Russell Wilson

hasn’t thrown a TD pass since week 4. The Jets are expected to sign C.J. Spiller, Big Ben has a shot to

play this week, and the Bills re-signed the formerly retired Percy Harvin.

This week the Cardinals, Bears, Bengals, Texans, Patriots and Redskins have byes so adjust your

lineups accordingly, and next week the Bills, Lions, Colts and Raiders have byes so make moves now

if you need to replace players from any of those teams.

As always, the weekly Assume The Position article takes a look at some of the great matchups

(“Money in the Bank”), good matchups (“Safe Bets”) and bad matchups (“Rolling the Dice”), and we

give you one player at each position (QB, RB, WR and TE) that we’ve identified for that respective

performance (great, good or bad), taking into account the player’s offensive capabilities as well as the

defensive matchup they’re facing. And remember, a bad matchup is not a suggestion to bench a

player; that decision depends on your roster and who you have available to replace that player, it’s just

a caution for you to review and consider and check for a better alternative. If you don’t have a better

alternative you should stick with that player.

MONEY IN THE BANK (Great Matchup)

Jameis Winston – QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. ATL)

The Atlanta Falcons have the 27th ranked pass defense, give up the most fantasy points and the most

passing TDs to QBs. They also give up the 7th most rushing yards to QB so Winston could get you

some additional points on the ground this week. Meanwhile, Winston is 17th in the league in passing

yards per game, 9th in TDs with 14 but does have 9 INTs, the third most in the league. He’s at home

this week and should be putting up huge passing numbers, especially if the Bucs continue and increase

the number of play action plays. Sander Philipse of Bucsnation.com noted that last week “Quarterback

Jameis Winston fielded the league's best NFL QB Rating on play action passes in week 8. He

completed 6-of-6 attempted play action passes for 90 yards and 1 TD. His 158.3 NFL QB Rating was

42.3 points higher than the next closest QB on play action passes during week 8.”

http://www.bucsnation.com/2016/11/1/13487654/jameis-winston-excelled-in-play-action-donovan-smith-inconsistent



Ezekiel Elliott – RB, Dallas Cowboys (at CLE)

Yeah, pretty much a no-brainer here, but it’s a great matchup, the best of the week, with the league’s

number 1 rusher taking on the league’s 30th ranked run defense. Cleveland gives up the 4th most

fantasy points and the 2nd most TDs to RBs. Oh yeah, Cleveland gives up the second most 20+ yard

plays and second most 40+ yard plays to RBs and Elliott leads the league in 20+ yard plays. It’s kind

of a perfect storm for a ridiculous number of points to be had by a RB. So leave him starting by

default like always and laugh when the points just keep coming.

Jarvis Landry – WR, Miami Dolphins (vs. NYJ)

Landry’s 82 ypg is good for 10th best in the league, but his 1 TD is killing owners. Well this week he

might make his owners smile multiple times as he and the Dolphins host the New York Jets and their

31st ranked pass defense. The Jets give up the 4th most fantasy points, the 4th most receptions and the

7th most TDs to WRs. The Jets also give up the deep ball quite often - 7th most 20+ yard plays and

the 2nd most 40+ yard plays. All this certainly bodes well for Landry to have a big game and maybe

finally reconcile with the end zone.

Kyle Rudolph – TE, Minnesota Vikings (vs. DET)

The Detroit Lions give up the most fantasy points, TDs and receptions to TEs, they also give up the 5th

most yards to TEs. All of those stats are good news for Kyle Rudolph owners. Rudolph is 11th in the

league in yards per game and tied for 3rd in TDs for TEs. He should have a big day against the Lions

this week, as long as the Vikings offensive line doesn’t continue to suck. He should definitely be in

your lineup.

SAFE BETS (Good Matchup)

Dak Prescott – QB, Dallas Cowboys (at CLE)

The pathetic, lowly, embarrassing, winless Browns host the probable runner-up for rookie of the year

award Dak Prescott and the Cowboys this week. Cleveland also hosts the 24th ranked pass defense

that gives up the 4th most fantasy points, the most passing TDs, and the most 20+ yard plays in the

league. Prescott, while impressive and exciting is only the 18th ranked QB in the league with 253 ypg,

and worse, he only has 9 passing TDs. His yardage and TD totals should increase this week against

Cleveland so plug him into your lineup and reap the rewards.

DeMarco Murray – RB, Tennessee Titans (at SD)

Derrick Henry is a pain in the butt for you but Murray is still 2nd in the league in rushing, just behind

Ezekiel Elliott, and 4th in TDs. He was the leading rusher in the league last week despite missing a

little time after injuring his toe. His MRI showed nothing serious but according to Jason Wolf of The

Tennessean, Head Coach Mike Mularkey said “we’re just going to monitor him” so while he may be

limited in practice this week, he should still be a solid play this weekend. San Diego only gives up 87

http://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nfl/titans/2016/10/31/demarco-murray-wont-rushed-back-toe-injury/93075118/



ypg, good for the 7th best run defense in the league, but the problem for them and the good news for

you is that they give up the 2nd most TDs to RBs and the 6th most fantasy points to RBs.

Quincy Enunwa – WR, New York Jets (at MIA)

Enunwa is 21st in the league in receiving yards, 26th in receptions and 18th in TDs, all while starting

just 5 of 8 games thanks to Eric Decker keeping him on the sidelines before his injury. And despite his

recent play he knows he has to improve. Steve Serby of the New York Post reported Enunwa saying

“That should have been two touchdowns, and I should have had 100 yards, I dropped two passes that

would have got me 100 yards for the day. That’s frustrating.” This week the upstart WR takes on a

Dolphins pass defense that gives up the 9th most fantasy points to WRs. Brandon Marshall will get

lots of attention and steal some points from you and Enunwa, but Enunwa has topped 70 yards

receiving with a TD in each of the last 2 weeks, including 93 yards last week. I look for him to

continue his strong play and do well against the Dolphins, especially if Fitzpatrick plays like he did in

the second half last week.

Gary Barnidge – TE, Cleveland Browns (vs. DAL)

Barnidge is obviously not having the great year he had last year but he’s still 6th in the league in

receiving yards and 5th in receptions for TEs. The big issue with him this year is his zero, none, nada,

zip, zilch TDs. Dallas gives up the 9th most fantasy points, the 7th most receptions, the 8th most TDs

and the 12th most yards to TEs, so this could be a good opportunity for Barnidge to get his first score

of the year and to continue his quiet but solid play this year.

ROLLING THE DICE (Bad Matchup)

Derek Carr – QB, Oakland Raiders (vs. DEN)

Last week’s history making QB is at home this week to try and follow-up his amazing 513 yard, 4 TD

performance. Well guess what, he’s facing the Denver Broncos #1 ranked pass defense that allows just

184 passing ypg. Denver also gives up the 2nd fewest fantasy points, the 4th fewest TDs (just 6) and

have the 4th most INTs. Now Denver does give up the 2nd most rushing yards and is tied for the most

rushing TDs allowed so that may offset some of the passing restriction you’ll see with Carr this week.

Carr averages 290 ypg and 2 TD per game but he may not reach either of those totals this week, so just

be aware of this extremely tough matchup in case you have another viable option.

Frank Gore – RB, Indianapolis Colts (at GB)

Old man Gore surprisingly has the 11th most rushing yards this year. But this week he faces the #1

ranked run defense in the league, the Green Bay Packers, who give up the least fantasy points to RBs,

and have allowed just 2 rushing TDs so far - only Detroit and Minnesota have allowed fewer (1). Gore

averages 67 ypg but it’s unlikely he matches that this week, and all signs point towards keeping him on

the bench this week. Colts Correspondent Matt Wineberg acknowledges this: “Up next is a tough test

with the Packers in Week 9.”

https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/news/92772/frank-gore-has-62-total-yards-touchdown-vs-chiefs.php



Michael Crabtree – WR, Oakland Raiders (vs. DEN)

Over the last 2 weeks Crabtree has gone 8-96-1 and 8-108. He, Amari Cooper and of course Derek

Carr have been on fire, but this week is going to be different with the Broncos as the opponents.

Denver gives up the fewest fantasy points, receptions, yards and TDs to WRs. I don’t see Crabtree

approaching 100 yards this week so make sure there’s no better options for you before rolling the dice

and sticking with him.

Jimmy Graham – TE, Seattle Seahawks (vs. BUF)

After last week’s embarrassing beating that Buffalo took from the Patriots and Gronkowski (5-109-1),

I look for the Ryan brothers to do something with their game planning and defense to prevent another

whooping. Graham had a nice little stretch of games where he was impressing owners and deemed to

“be back”, but the last 2 weeks have seen him produce just 5-53 and 3-34 stats with no TDs. Add to

this the fact that his QB, Russell Wilson, hasn’t thrown a TD pass since week 4 and this is not the best

of matchups for Graham this week. You should seriously consider looking elsewhere for your TE

spot.



FLEX APPEAL BY MICHAEL NEASE

Flex Appeal —Week 9 By: Mike Nease, Senior Writer

OMG! Week 9 is here already and we know three things:

1. We have a good shot at making the playoffs.

2. We have a chance to make the playoffs.

3. It’s time already to begin the wait until next year.

The key here is not to change our weekly routines. Know about injuries and bye weeks. Use the waiver

wire to plug holes and keep your team winning. Study the trade options, but be careful about giving

away players that are good just to get mediocrity back in return.

Take a look at your remaining opponents. How do injuries and bye weeks affect them?

If you can hoard RBs and WRs by dropping non-performers and grabbing as many available guys as

you can on waivers, you make it harder for your opponents to fix their own lineups.

For example, look a week ahead and know who might be hot. In Tampa, where RBs drop like flies,

Antone Smith and Peyton Barber carry the load this week. They just signed Mike James who has done

well for them in the past. Barber or Smith could be the guy. Put this down as a situation to watch. And

act on it if it pans out, maybe even before Week 9. You can stash James that way and if need be, cut

him next week.

At this point of the season you need to work harder to earn that league championship. But after all,

isn’t that why we play the game?

My goal each and every week will be to help you fill that wild card slot in your lineup, the flex

position, with some viable, practical solutions.

In a typical fantasy football lineup we have one position dedicated to a flex player, that being an extra

RB, WR, or TE. Many people just take a lower tier RB or WR and slap them into the lineup. Following

that haphazard strategy can cost you games on a regular ongoing basis.

You can turn the challenging flex position in your lineup into one of strength, rather than an

afterthought. Typically the selection pool here in a 12-team league includes those players ranked

beyond RB24, WR36 and TE12. I will use several rankings sources to obtain a healthy consensus.



Marriage Material

This could be either an available free agent pickup, or a player you already have on your roster that

you would take home to meet your folks. This is a likely keeper that you can use more often than not

throughout the rest of the season. He has a flair for consistency and the ability to light up the

scoreboard with big numbers some weeks.

WR Kendall Wright, Ten

Finally, Kendall Wright has become a key part of the Tennessee passing game. With a solid 14-229-2

stat line over his last three games, he is averaging 17 FPPG over that time. DeMarco Murray and

Derrick Henry, by giving the Titans a feared running game, have created opportunities for the passing

game to become a real threat.

Look for Wright to get you about 9-10 FP against the Chargers in San Diego in Week 9.

WR Donte Moncrief, Ind

In his first game back since Week 2, Donte Moncrief just had a 4-41-1 (14 FP) game and is ready to

step forward. Expect him to help boost the Colts passing game this week against the Packers. His

absence has allowed other teams to neutralize the Andrew Luck magic and his return has been much

anticipated.

We expect him to score about 9-10 FP this week in Green Bay.

Love ‘em and Leave ‘em

A player here has some flex appeal, but you really only want him because of a favorable matchup this

week. You will likely see some red warning flags as you approach. A background check may alert you

to injury risks, his coach may favor someone else that is not even suiting up this week, etc., etc. But

hey, you don’t want to consider marriage. A one week stand is all you need him for now. But over the

long-haul, maybe, just maybe he could fit the bill for something long-term.

RB Tim Hightower, NO

After successfully taking over for Mark Ingram in 2015 when Ingram was hurt, Tim Hightower got the

call to play after Ingram made a critical fumble last week. Hightower is expected to lead a new RBBC

approach. Thus far in his last two games he has a 31-141-0///2-5-0 stat line.

This week the Saints play the 49ers in San Francisco. We anticipate that Hightower will score about 7-

8 FP for you.

RB C.J. Prosise, Sea



Rookie C.J. Prosise was finally healthy enough to play in Week 8 and while complementing Christine

Michael, he scored 14 FP with a 4-23-0///4-80-0 stat line. Over time, barring the return of Thomas

Rawls, Prosise should, with his great talent, pass Michael by and get increased playing time.

This week with the Bills visiting Seattle, expect Prosise to score about 7-8 FP. Using him comes with a

bit of risk, but with so many holes in lineups from injuries and byes, a one week stand to test things out

is a good risk.

WR Ted Ginn, Car

If it is Week 9 we know that desperation will eventually lead us to Ted Ginn In his last two games,

Ginn has 10-107-0 numbers and has played a big role in the Carolina passing game. This week the

Panthers are playing the Rams in LA and this game is critical in their attempt to get up to .500 or

better. Ginn is streaky so you want play him while he is hot.

We expect Ted Ginn to give us 8-9 FP or so this week as Cam Newton is expected to take his rage over

illegal hits out on LA.

WR Mohamed Sanu, Atl

Over his entire career, Mohamed Sanu has shown flashes of tremendous talent, masked by

inconsistency. In 2016 he has had three games through Week 8 where he has scored between 16 and 23

FP. In his last three games he has averaged 14 FPPG with a 16-147-2 stat line

The last time Sanu played the Buccaneers he was held to 5 FP. This time we look for him to score

about 7-8 FP at least.

TE Julius Thomas, Jac

Everyone recalls what a scoring beast Julius Thomas was with Denver a few short years ago. Then he

developed a reputation for being injury prone. Healthy now, he has averaged 9 FPPG in his last three

games with 8-76-2 numbers.

In his last game vs the Chiefs he scored 13 FP and we are expecting around 7-8 FP this week in Kansas

City.

Last Call

The bar is closing and you are so, so desperate. We have all been there at one time or another. A

wasted draft choice is a scratch once again. Who can I add to my roster? Here we will give you a guy

to start. He won’t be great and very seldom will he be even good. But this week this mutt of a player

will give you at least something from the flex position.

RB Antone Smith, TB



As another Tampa Bay running back goes down, the running game boils down to Antone Smith and

Peyton Barber this week vs the Falcons. By playing 22 snaps to 3 for Barber last week, Smith appears

to have an edge going into Week 9. The Bucs have just added veteran Mike James to the RB mix so

Smith is likely to be only a one-game stopgap measure.

Look for Smith to give you around 7-8 FP this week vs the Falcons.

WR Devon Funchess, Car

Another player to use for one game is Devon Funchess. Over the last two weeks he has compiled a 5-

66-1 stat line which works out to a 10 FPPG average. With so many players out with injuries or byes,

he at least has an opportunity to see some targets and accumulate a handful of points. He is strictly a

PPR play and is pretty much a break glass and use in an emergency option.

Look for Funchess to get you about 7-8 FP. He merits a week-to-week evaluation regarding future

playing situations. He is a young player who could be a rising talent.

WR Kenny Stills, Mia

Kenny Stills as a fantasy option will drive you nuts. He is that guy that is going to… Unfortunately as

soon as you are sure of that, he flops for 2-3 games. So far in 2016 he has had 4/7 games where he has

scored in double figures. In Week 7 before the bye he had a nice 5-100-1 game in which he had 21 FP.

This week expect Stills to give you about 9-10 FP. Keep an eye on him on a week-by-week basis.

TE Lance Kendrick, LA

Lance Kendrick was the highly touted “next great TE” about five years ago. As is painfully obvious,

that did not even come close to happening. Now he has had a 12-89-1 stat line in Weeks 6 and 7, going

into the Week 8 bye week. Those 17 targets generated 13 FP and give us some hope that he can

become productive, especially when Jared Goff claims the LA QB job shortly.

Look for Kendrick to give you about 8-9 FP this week against the Carolina Panthers

Adrian Balboa

To Rocky, she was the greatest, prettiest woman in the world. To the rest of us with discerning tastes

perhaps not so much. In fantasy football there are players like that available all the time. While others

are running away from a player and completely overlooking them is the time for you to swoop in and

snap them up.

WR Dorial Green-Beckham, Phi

Nobody wants Green-Beckham, but he is a better alternative than taking a totally unheard of player

who is a 100% risk. Over the last three games he has accumulated an 8-86-1 stat line that gave him an



8 FPPG average for that time. The Eagles were begging for WR before the trade deadline and Huff just

got arrested. All signs point to Green-Beckham having a bigger opportunity.

Look for him to score about 7-8 FP against the Giants this week.

TE Austin Hooper, Atl

With a hot passer like Matt Ryan looking for healthy bodies to throw to and TE Jacob Tamme out this

week, rookie Austin Hooper has a chance to show what he has. He scored 9 FP based on 5-41-0

numbers last week.

In a pinch, we expect him to give you about 7-8 FP this week.

And there you have it—the Week 9 flex player recommendations. When you look at your lineup, view

it as a combination of players designed to give you enough points not only to win this week, but

enough to win each and every week and ultimately to win the league championship.

So, one more time—work hard each week to have the strongest lineup possible. Use your judgment to

maximize your points based on the players you have. Work the waiver wire and seek out trades to give

you the strongest roster you can have.

Your job is not done just because the draft is over and the season has begun. In fact things only get

harder from this point on. Outwork your opponents and keep building your team from week to week.

Good luck! Have fun!

The Blitz

TEAM DEFENSE

Here is what we think we know heading into Week 9: With their season on the line the Carolina

Panthers D/ST came out on fire last week steamrolling the Cardinals. Led by DT Star Loutulelei (3

sacks) they rolled up 8 sacks, 2 turnovers and fumble return for a score. This week they face a

struggling Los Angeles Rams offense that has turned the ball over 7 times in the last three games and

given up 2 D/ST TDs. We like that…Kansas City Chiefs OLB Dee Ford seems to be coming into his

own putting up 5 ½ sacks in the last three weeks. This week the Chiefs host the inept Jacksonville

offense led by Blake “Here comes another turnover” Bortles. Kansas City has been a top-5 D/ST over

the last three games racking up 9 sacks, 6 turnovers and a D/ST score. Look for that roll to continue

this week…With the way the Minnesota Vikings offensive line has been playing we like the Detroit

Lions as a sneaky outside the top-10 D/ST unit this week. Ziggy Ansah is due for a big week and the

Vikings just allowed 5 sacks to an anemic Chicago pass rush. The Lions should get their share of sacks

this week.

Less Than 90% Owned Standout Team Defenses for Week 9*

*Ownership information based on ESPN standard leagues

Green Bay (vs. Indianapolis)- 55% owned. The Packers are a tough defense playing at home having

put up 10 sacks and six turnovers in four games. The Colts continue to struggle badly in pass

protection as Andrew Luck was sacked six times last week against the Chiefs. Over the last five

games Indianapolis is allowing an average of four sacks per game. If the Packers can get Clay

Matthews (hamstring) back this week then this matchup gets even better.

Dallas (@ Cleveland)- 44% owned. At this point it’s unknown if the Browns will stick with veteran

Josh McCown at QB or go with rookie Cody Kessler as he returns from a concussion. No matter who

it is under center we like the Cowboys D/ST. Dallas managed to get to Carson Wentz three times last



week and also had a fumble recovery. In their last three games the Browns have given up nine sacks

and thrown four interceptions. The Cowboys should rack up their share of big plays this week.

Miami (vs. NY Jets)- 6% owned. It’s surprising that more people aren’t streaming the Dolphins this

week. They may be one of the last defenses to get a shot at turnover machine Ryan Fitzpatrick before

New York turns to Bryce Petty at QB. Miami has put up 10 sacks in their four home games and have

snagged a pair of interceptions in the past two weeks. What we are chasing here are the 11

interceptions that Fitzpatrick has thrown in 2016

Downside Team Defenses for Week 9:

NY Jets (@ Miami) – 64% owned. This is another bad week for sniffing out a downside D/ST as once

again six teams are on a bye. There aren’t any teams that are owned in 90% of leagues that don’t have

a great matchup this week. Actually, the 60% range and above are the best we can find. The Jets are

going to get a look at the run heavy Miami offense that has rolled up 478 rushing yards in the past two

games. More importantly they face a Dolphins offense that hasn’t turned the ball over in those two

games and has allowed only one sack. This new conservative approach has limited QB Ryan

Tannehill’s chances to turn the ball over and the Jets will not have the chance for big plays in Week 9.

Buffalo (@ Seattle)- 64% owned. This is a matchup that I see Seattle looking to pound the ball on the

ground in an effort to protect their battered QB Russell Wilson. The Bills are one of the top D/ST units

when it comes to getting pressure on the QB so look for a heavy dose of Christine Michael this week.

In the last four games the Seahawks have allowed only five sacks and turned the ball over once. This is

not a week to roll out the Buffalo D/ST.

INDIVIDUAL DEFENSIVE PLAYERS

Here is what the IDP landscape looks like leading into Week 9: This is a good week to roll with both

Cliff Avril and Frank Clark of Seattle. In the last five games they have put up a combined nine sacks

and face a Bills offense that has allowed 13 sacks to DL in their last five games. Another duo poised

for a big week are Ziggy Ansah and Devin Taylor. The Lions square off against a Vikings offensive

line that just allowed the Chicago Bears DL to rack up eight solo tackles and three sacks last

week…Adrian Clayborn has been on a tear of late putting up six solo tackles and three sacks in the

last two weeks. I’m riding the hot hand here…This should be a bounce back week for Malcolm Smith

as he faces a Denver offense that is allowing an average of 20 solo tackles per game to LBs over the

last three games…Although he is just outside the top-30 (32) we like veteran David Harris of the Jets

this week. Miami has become a run first offense riding Jay Ajayi and has offered up 47 solo stops to

LBs in their last two games…Kwon Alexander has officially overtaken Lavonte David as the LB we

want from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Through seven games Alexander has 27 more solo tackles

than David and is putting up top-10 LB totals…We love the way Bobby Wagner has been playing

lately as he’s racked up 42 total tackles in his last three games…I’m officially cutting ties with S

Corey Graham of the Bills. He’s been a huge let down after a big 2015 season and currently sits

outside the top-30 DBs in scoring…Make sure to get T.J. Ward of the Broncos in your line up as he’s

having a great season and has an awesome Week 9 matchup. The Oakland Raiders have given up 80



solo stops to DBs in the last three games. Ward also brings big play potential as he’s put up a sack,

interception as well as forced fumble in the last three weeks…Our sneaky good start is S Daniel

Sorensen of the Chiefs. In the last two games he has put up 13 solo tackles, one sack along with a

forced fumble as well as an interception.

practicing…Clinton McDonald missed week 8 with a hamstring injury after practicing on a limited

basis last week. There is a chance he returns for Week 9…Colts DE Henry Anderson missed yet

another game last week with a knee injury.

LB- After practicing on a limited basis late in the week Denver LB Brandon Marshall sat out Week

8. We’ll need to monitor practice reports this week to evaluate his availability…Both Bruce Carter

(quad) and Darron Lee (ankle) missed Week 8 and are iffy to play this week…OLB Lorenzo

Alexander may miss some time with a hamstring injury…Stephone Anthony continues to miss time

with a hamstring injury…Clay Matthews ended up sitting out last week after practicing on a limited

basis. He is dealing with a hamstring issue as well(what is up with all the hamstring issues?)…Shaq

Thompson left Week 8 with a knee injury and did not return. We are awaiting news out of Carolina as

to the severity of the injury…Denzel Perryman is out for Week 9 with a …you guessed it…hamstring

injury…Jatavis Brown is expected to miss a week or two with a knee injury.

DB- Barry Church is expected to miss 3-5 weeks with a broken forearm and his teammate Morris

Claiborne will miss time with a groin injury…Mike Adams of the Colts is also dealing with a groin

issue and is considered week-to-week…The Cardinals will be without Tyrann Mathieu for 3-6 weeks

with a shoulder injury…Sean Smith of the Raiders was forced from Week 8 with a shoulder injury

and did not return. Keep an eye on injury updates coming out of Oakland this week…It appears Kam

Chancellor may be back on the field this week after missing games due to a groin injury…Vontae

Davis is in the league protocol for concussions…Darius Slay missed Week 8 with a hamstring injury

and is iffy to play this week.

Free Agent Thoughts: There were quite a few injuries last week and we’re tossing out as many

possible replacements as we can find information on. It’s tough this early in the week to get concrete

answers as to who the next man up is for every situation. We try to get as many names out as possible

so as to alert folks as to which names to look for as the week plays out.

Defensive Linemen

Chris Baker Put up 5 solos with a sack and forced fumble last week.

Star Loutulelei Monster game with 3 sacks, 5 solos and a forced fumble in Week 8.

Frank Clark Will see expanded role with Michael Bennett missing time.

Tyrone Crawford One of the few pass rushing on the Cowboys D-line.

Adrian Clayborn Has racked up 3 sacks in the last 2 weeks.



Linebackers

Elandon Roberts Could have 3-down role with Jamie Collins traded to Cleveland.

Dee Ford Put up 3 ½ sacks last week. Has 5 ½ in last 3 weeks.

Josh Perry Will see expanded role with Perryman and Brown out for Chargers.

Korey Toomer Should get first crack to step in for Brown for San Diego.

Defensive Backs

J.J. Wilcox Will likely step in for the injured Barry Church at safety.

Robert Blanton Takes over at strong safety for injured Aaron Williams.

Daryl Worley We love CBs that tackle and he had 11 stops last week for Panthers.

ATLANTA FALCONS

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Tevin Coleman (hamstring), Jacob Tamme

(shoulder)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have played very poorly against the pass, allowing the seventh-most

fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and the fifth-most fantasy points to the wideout position. As

you probably figured, Matt Ryan and Julio Jones are both must-start options, and Mohamed Sanu

looks like a nice play. He hit pay dirt against Tampa Bay back in Week 1. The other Falcons wideouts,

however, are dice rolls. Jacob Tamme has been ruled out. The Buccaneers rank only 14th in fantasy

points ceded to enemy tight ends, but rookie Austin Hooper is still a risky play. The Falcons don’t

always target their tight ends even in plus matchups. Tevin Coleman also has been ruled out, so

Devonta Freeman will handle a heavy workload again versus a Buccaneers defense that has yielded

the seventh-most fantasy points to the tailback position. Terron Ward will operate in a breather-back

role.

Devonta Freeman amassed an 11-20-0 rushing line and a 4-20-0 receiving line.

Julio Jones caught four passes for 66 yards and one touchdown.

Mohamed Sanu made five grabs for 80 yards and one score.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Jacquizz Rodgers (foot), Russell Shepard (hip),

Doug Martin (hamstring)

With Doug Martin and Jacquizz Rodgers parked on the injury shelf, scat-back Antone Smith is

expected to start and handle 10-15 touches, and have a notable role in the passing game versus an

Atlanta Falcons defense that has coughed up the ninth-most fantasy points to the running back

position. However, Smith is expected to operate in a timeshare with between-the-tackles runners

Peyton Barber and Mike James. While Barber offers some limited value in standard scoring formats,

James isn’t expected to see much action. Mike Evans is a strong play against a Falcons defense that

ranks only 27th in fantasy points yielded to opposing wideouts. On paper Jameis Winston looks like a

very strong play versus an Atlanta defense that has surrendered the most fantasy points to enemy

passers, but Winston’s receiver corps is thin behind Evans. Vincent Jackson is parked on Injured

Reserve, and Russell Shepard was considered doubtful to play. Cecil Shorts and the other wideouts

could step up, but they’re too unreliable for fantasy owners to trust. The Falcons are ranked just 27th in

fantasy points allowed to the tight end position, so Winston should lean on Cameron Brate.

DETROIT LIONS

INJURIES TO MONITOR: None

A Minnesota Vikings defense that has been shredded during the last two weeks should rebound and

play its best at home, but you have to wonder about the psyche of the entire Vikings team following

the surprise Wednesday morning resignation of offensive coordinator Norv Turner. As for the Detroit



Lions, did you know that all their wins and losses have been by seven or fewer points? Minnesota

played the run very poorly Monday night, but that big outing by Jordan Howard (Bears) looks like an

outlier. Even though the Vikings rank 12th in fantasy points allowed to the running back position,

Theo Riddick still deserves starting consideration. Last week he operated as the lead dog in the

Detroit backfield while plodder Zach Zenner was sprinkled in. Justin Forsett has edged ahead of

Dwayne Washington (inactive last week) in the pecking order. Minnesota has surrendered just two

touchdown passes in its last three home games, so don’t expect a big outing from Matthew Stafford.

The Vikings also have been very stingy to opposing wideouts, so Eric Ebron has the best chance to

score.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Jerick McKinnon (ankle)

Following the shocking Wednesday morning resignation of offensive coordinator Norv Turner, the

Minnesota Vikings elected to promote tight ends coach Pat Shurmur to replace him. Considering the

available personnel and the injury depleted offensive line, it’s hard to imagine Shurmur making any

radical changes. The Vikings did receive some good news: Jerick McKinnon, barring a setback, could

return after missing Week 8, and the team really needs him since Matt Asiata isn’t a true workhorse

back. McKinnon deserves starting consideration against a Detroit Lions defense that has struggled

against the run on the road. Consider Asiata a bye-week replacement in deeper leagues. If McKinnon is

a no-go, Asiata is a flex option in all leagues. Sam Bradford should have a nice outing against a Lions

defense that has yielded the second-most fantasy points to the quarterback position. His top-two

targets, Stefon Diggs and Kyle Rudolph, are solid plays. Even though Cordarrelle Patterson scored

in Week 5 and Week 7, he’s still a very risky option. The Minnesota team defense should be a solid

start.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES


When Carson Wentz cooled off three weeks ago, the entire Eagles offense cooled off, too. Since

Week 6, the rookie has tossed just two touchdown passes and has passed for 202 or fewer yards in each

game played. The New York Giants defense has surrendered the sixth-fewest fantasy points and only

seven touchdown tosses to opposing quarterbacks, so a rebound outing from Wentz is very unlikely.

Jordan Matthews, the only reliable Philadelphia fantasy star right now, looks like a decent start

against a Big Blue defense that ranks 18th in fantasy points allowed to the wideout position. The

Eagles have been trying to get Dorial Green-Beckham and Nelson Agholor more involved, but

they’re aren’t safe options. Sadly, Zach Ertz has disappeared. He still hasn’t scored this season. It

looks like Darren Sproles, who received a heavy workload last week, has unofficially assumed the

lead tailback duties, but it’s hard to imagine a 33-year-old running back who has a 5-foot-6, 190-pound

frame operating as a workhorse for the long term. Touchdown-dependant Ryan Mathews is still

expected to handle the goal-line and short-yardage duties. The Eagles team defense is a decent

starting option.

NEW YORK GIANTS

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Odell Beckham (abdomen)

Heading into a Week 8 bye, the New York Giants offense had struggled noticeably in road contests but

played solidly at home. Even though the Philadelphia Eagles defense has allowed the fifth-fewest

fantasy points to the quarterback position and the eighth fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts,

Eli Manning and Odell Beckham are the two most reliable options. The Eagles have ceded two or

more touchdown passes in three of their last four games. The second touchdown pass that we’ve

projected could go to anyone. Sterling Shepard hasn’t hit pay dirt since Week 3, while Victor Cruz’s

only Salsa dance of 2016 came in Week 1. Philadelphia ranks only 15th in fantasy points allowed to

enemy tailbacks, so Rashad Jennings could get on track this week. He scored for the first time this

season during New York’s game before the bye. Jennings continues to steal targets in the passing

game, which has crippled Bobby Rainey’s standalone value.

NEW YORK JETS


The New York Jets offense isn’t new and improved. This score unit has looked better in the last two

weeks only because Matt Forte shredded a couple of defenses that were soft against the run. Even

though the Miami Dolphins have improved to 10th in fantasy points allowed to the running back

position, Forte still deserves a start. Bilal Powell’s receiving role, which usually gives him solid flex

value in PPR leagues, has disappeared for now. After catching six balls per game most weeks, Powell

has logged just four receptions in the Jets’ last three games. The Dolphins are so soft against the pass

that even Ryan Fitzpatrick, who hasn’t tossed multiple scoring strikes in a game since Week 1,

should be able to throw for at least two scores. Brandon Marshall is a must-start, but Quincy

Enunwa comes with risk. Sometimes he disappears in road games.

MIAMI DOLPHINS

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Jordan Cameron (concussion), Dion Sims

(concussion)

The Miami Dolphins come off their bye with a two-game winning streak and with a new workhorse

runner, Jay Ajayi, leading their offense now that Arian Foster has retired. Although the New York

Jets have slipped to 16th in fantasy points ceded to enemy running backs, don’t expect Ajayi to make it

three in a row with 200-plus rushing yards. It looks like Damien Williams, who hit pay dirt in each of

Miami’s last two games, will operate as a breather back. The Jets are arguably as soft versus the pass

as the Dolphins are, so Ryan Tannehill and his go-to guy, Jarvis Landry, look like solid starts.

Kenny Stills, who seems to have passed the struggling Devante Parker in the pecking order (Parker

hasn’t topped 30 yards in a game since Week 3), has a good chance to break off a long catch and run

against a New York secondary that’s vulnerable to speedy wideouts, but he comes with boom-or-bust

risk. The Dolphins team defense is a streaming option against a turnover prone Ryan Fitzpatrick.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Julius Thomas (ankle)



It’s doubtful that the switch in offensive coordinators from Greg Olsen to quarterbacks coach

Nathaniel Hackett is going to jumpstart this struggling offense right away if at all. The Jacksonville

Jaguars offensive line is clearly one of the worst in the NFL, and Blake Bortles has regressed big time.

Assuming there’s no extended garbage time, you should expect just moderate yardage from Bortles

versus a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has been solid against the pass at home. Even though Allen

Robinson and Allen Hurns have both been disappointing, they still deserve starting consideration.

Kansas City, however, has yielded the sixth-fewest fantasy points to enemy tight ends, so consider

Julius Thomas a weak start. In the rushing department, the Chiefs have allowed just one rushing

touchdown since Week 1, so there’s little reason to get excited about the struggling Chris Ivory and

T.J. Yeldon.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Alex Smith (concussion), Spencer Ware

Let’s start with the injury information: Alex Smith has been ruled out, and Nick Foles will start in his

place. At last check, Spencer Ware was in concussion protocol. If he can’t suit up, Charcandrick

West will get the starting nod in his place. Whoever starts at tailback is a strong play versus a

Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has surrendered six rushing scores during the last month. Look for

Foles to operate in a “Smithian” game-manager role. Since the Jaguars have yielded the fifth-fewest

fantasy points to the tight position, expect a quiet game from Travis Kelce. Jeremy Maclin is most

likely Kansas City receiver to hit pay dirt. Speedy rookie Tyreek Hill has scored in two straight

contests, but he’s still too risky to trust. The Chiefs team defense is a great starting option.

The Cleveland Browns defense ranks in the bottom four in fantasy points allowed to the quarterback,

running back, wideout and tight end positions. The only thing that can slow down most of the Dallas

Cowboys fantasy stars is an emotional letdown from the team’s Sunday night triumph over the

Philadelphia Eagles. Look for Ezekiel Elliott to have a huge outing. Actually, Joe Haden could limit

Dez Bryant a bit, but don’t let that scare you away from starting number 88. Cole Beasley, a Dak

Prescott favorite, should bounce back from a middle-of-the-road Week 8 showing. Jason Witten,

however, hasn’t topped 50 yards in a game since Week 2. Terrance Williams usually disappears when

Bryant is starting.

At last check, the Cleveland Browns hadn’t named their Week 9 starting quarterback. Josh McCown

according to media reports, was taking part in full practices, too. Regardless of whoever is under

center, Terrelle Pryor and Corey Coleman are must-starts against an injury depleted Dallas Cowboys

secondary. Since Dallas has yielded the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, Gary

Barnidge could make some noise. Even though the Cowboys rank second in fantasy points allowed to

the running back position, Isaiah Crowell is usually a decent bet for one score but middling yardage.

Duke Johnson has flex value in PPR leagues only if McCown is starting.

A still-less-than-100-percent Ben Roethlisberger was expected to start. The Baltimore Ravens defense

has allowed at least two scoring strikes in five of its last six games but kept most opposing

quarterbacks under 200 yards. Forget about that. The Ravens haven’t faced a passing attack as lethal as

the Pittsburgh Steelers. Antonio Brown is a must-start as usual. Baltimore has hemorrhaged the third-

most fantasy points to the wideout position, so Sammie Coates, assuming his finger is healed, could

get back on track. Darrius Heyward-Bey has replaced Markus Wheaton in the starting lineup, but

Heyward-Bey, Wheaton and Eli Rogers are all dice rolls. Ladarius Green could return, but either he

or Jesse James would be weak starts against a Baltimore defense that ranks second in fantasy points

allowed to the tight end position. The must-start Le’Veon Bell is still looking for his first score of the

season.

BALTIMORE RAVENS INJURIES TO MONITOR: Steve Smith (ankle)

Despite a long string of largely plus matchups, the Baltimore Ravens offense continues to disappoint.

The Ravens’ ground game should produce against a reeling Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has

coughed up the fourth-most fantasy points to enemy tailbacks. Terrance West is a solid start, and he’s

still the lead dog in the backfield. The Steelers have allowed at least 250 passing yards and two

touchdowns in just about all their games, but the struggling Joe Flacco hasn’t tossed multiple scoring

strikes in a game since Week 2. He should make it at least two touchdown tosses in this divisional

matchup. If Steve Smith plays, he’s a nice option against what’s still a shaky Pittsburgh secondary,

and so is Mike Wallace. The Steelers have been soft against tight ends, which is why Dennis Pitta has

a good chance to hit pay dirt for the first time this year. The Ravens team defense is a fringe starting

option.

The San Francisco 49ers defense ranks below average in fantasy points allowed to all the player

positions. The 49ers also rank dead last in fantasy points ceded to running backs. Look for the New

Orleans Saints to attack more heavily on the ground than they usually do with the Mark Ingram/Tim

Hightower tandem. Both players are solid starts. Drew Brees, Brandin Cooks, Michael Thomas and

Willie Snead are all nice plays, but don’t expect monster outings since the ground game will click

nicely. Coby Fleener, however, has disappeared in road contests. Lower your expectations for him.

The Saints team defense is a solid streaming option.

Switching from Blaine Gabbert to Colin Kaepernick hasn’t worked any miracles for the San

Orleans Saints secondary is soft, but there are no guarantees that Kaepernick can exploit the weakness.

Torrey Smith, who caught a scoring pass from him back in Week 6, is the likely candidate for a score

here. The other receivers are dice rolls. Maybe they’ll do well…maybe they won’t. Assuming Carlos

Hyde plays, he should roll up some big numbers against a New Orleans offense that has hemorrhaged



the second-most fantasy points to enemy tailbacks. All other San Francisco ball carriers are dart throws

despite the great matchup.

CAROLINA PANTHERS


The Los Angeles Rams defense has been inconsistent all season, which makes the predictions difficult.

The Rams, however, are expected to get injured starters Trumaine Johnson, William Hayes and Robert

Quinn back, so this stop unit should be at full strength. Cam Newton is a must-start. Los Angeles has

coughed up 11 touchdown passes on the season, and nine of them came in home contests. Newton

looks good for at least one touchdown pass and likely one score on the ground. Kelvin Benjamin and

Greg Olsen also are must-starts. The Rams rank 19th in fantasy points allowed to the wideout

position. Olsen should rebound from dud Week 8 outing, even though Los Angeles ranks 11th in

fantasy points ceded to opposing tight ends. They haven’t faced any as good as Olsen. While the red-

hot Jonathan Stewart (four touchdowns scored in his last two games) won’t run wild here, but he’ll

do okay versus a Rams defense that ranks 14th in fantasy points allowed to the tailback position. The

Panthers team defense is a solid streaming option against a mistake-prone Los Angeles offense.

Here’s the problem for the Los Angeles Rams: the strength of their offense is obviously running the

football, but the Carolina Panthers defense, despite its faults, is solid versus the run. The Panthers rank

eighth in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, but that won’t stop you from starting Todd

Gurley. The Carolina defense, however, is very soft against the pass, but Case Keenum isn’t an elite

passer. While Brian Quick looks like a solid play on paper, he has been more productive in road

contests. Tavon Austin’s best games have come at home, so he’s the favorite for a score. Kenny Britt

has scored in just one game so far in 2016, but he also has performed well at home. Keep in mind that

all Rams receivers come with risk. Consider the Rams team defense a fringe starting option.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: T.Y. Hilton (hamstring), Dwayne Allen (ankle),

Chester Rogers (hamstring)

The Indianapolis Colts have scored at least 23 points in each of their last three road games. Since the

Green Bay Packers defense is one of the best in the NFL against the run – Frank Gore is a weak play

– the Colts will rely mainly on Andrew Luck’s right arm in what should be a high-scoring contest.

The Packers rank 17th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks and 24th in fantasy points

ceded to the wideout position, so Luck, T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief are all must-starts. Dwayne

Allen was tentatively expected to return, which obviously knocks Jack Doyle back down to fantasy

TE2 status. Green Bay ranks 22nd in fantasy points yielded to opposing tight ends. The score



projected for Doyle could go to Allen. If you’re desperate in a deeper league, Doyle wouldn’t be a

terrible option. The rest of the Indianapolis receivers don’t deserve fantasy consideration.

Eddie Lacy (ankle), James Starks (knee surgery), Jared Cook (ankle)



Despite some key injuries, the Green Bay Packers offense has been scary good during the last two

weeks with the must-start Aaron Rodgers playing his best football of 2016. Look for Rodgers and

company to torch a very porous Indianapolis Colts defense at will. At last check, there was no definite

word on the playing status of Randall Cobb and the playing status of Ty Montgomery. If Cobb is

healthy, he’s a must-start alongside Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams. If Montgomery receives

medical clearance to suit up, he also should be in starting lineups. With James Starks still at least one

week away from returning, Montgomery will continue to operate in his wideout/running back role.

Don Jackson and Aaron Ripkowski are sitting atop the team’s running back depth chart right now,

but neither is a fantasy option. Richard Rodgers has disappeared from the offense, and Jared Cook is

still hurt. The Packers team defense is a streaming option against an Indianapolis offense that has

allowed a league-high 31 quarterback takedowns.

TENNESSEE TITANS

INJURIES TO MONITOR: DeMarco Murray (toe)

The run-first-and-run-often Tennessee Titans offense did a nice job of featuring a re-energized Marcus

Mariota-led passing attack during a stretch of three home matchups. This road test against a still

suspect San Diego Chargers defense looks like a nice test to see if Mariota’s solid play is for real. The

Chargers rank 13th in fantasy points allowed to the quarterback position thanks to two matchups

against the struggling Trevor Siemian (Broncos) in the last three weeks. San Diego hasn’t allowed

fewer than two touchdown passes in a game so far this season. The boom-or-bust Kendall Wright is the

likely candidate for a touchdown, but he and Rishard Matthews rarely catch more than four passes in

a game nowadays. The Chargers rank only 16th in fantasy points yielded to tight ends, so Delanie

Walker is a good bet for a solid outing. Even though San Diego has coughed up the sixth-most fantasy

points to opposing tailbacks, 100-yard games have been rare against them in recent weeks. DeMarco

Murray, assuming he’s healthy, is a must-start. Derrick Henry is a nice plug-and-play option if

Murray can’t go.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Hunter Henry (knee), Travis Benjamin (knee), Tyrell Williams (knee)

With their two divisional matchups against the elite Denver Broncos defense finally in the rear view

mirror, the San Diego Chargers offense can get back to its high-scoring ways. The Chargers have

racked up at least 34 points in all home games so far in 2016. The Tennessee Titans have slipped

noticeably against the pass in recent weeks, allowing big outings to Cody Kessler (Browns) and Blake

Bortles (Jaguars), so Philip Rivers, Travis Benjamin (assuming his knee isn’t an issue) and Tyrell

Williams all looks like strong plays. If Benjamin is severely limited or doesn’t suit up, Dontrelle

Williams’ fantasy prospects obviously would get a boost. The Titans have surrendered the eighth-most

fantasy points to the tight end position, but Hunter Henry has struggled since his big outing against

the Broncos in Week 6. The score projected for him could go to Antonio Gates. Despite the plus

matchup, both come with risk. Even though Tennessee ranks seventh in fantasy points ceded to

opposing running backs, keep rolling with the high-scoring Melvin Gordon.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Devontae Booker (shoulder)

The porous Oakland Raiders defense has surrendered at least 27 points in each game played since

Week 4. However, they’re playing at home with AFC West division supremacy on the line so expect

them to put up a fight. The Denver Broncos offense also doesn’t look very scary with rookie Devontae

Booker (one career start) and Trevor Siemian (seven career starts) leading the attack. Oakland ranks

only 23rd in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. While Booker looks like a strong play

on paper, keep in mind that he rushed for only 54 yards and one score at home last week in a plus

matchup. Kapri Bibbs and Juwan Thompson aren’t expected to see enough action to have standalone

value right now. The Raiders have surrendered the eighth-most fantasy points to the quarterback



position. However, they’ve yielded only four passing scores in their last four home games, which

doesn’t bode well for Siemian. Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, who are Denver’s only

fantasy relevant receivers, are must-starts. Oakland ranks 20th in fantasy points allowed to enemy

wideouts. The Broncos team defense is a must-start, too.

OAKLAND RAIDERS


Even though the elite Denver Broncos defense isn’t as tough on the road, this stop unit will still play

well enough to mount a huge challenge to an Oakland Raiders offense that has racked up at least 28

points in four of their last five contests. A Broncos secondary that has allowed six touchdown passes

all season likely will neutralize the Derek Carr-led passing attack with ease – assuming Aqib Talib

(back), who sat out last week, plays. Talib is expected to shadow Amari Cooper. If Talib sits, things

will look better for Carr and Cooper, but it still would be hard to expect anything more than moderate

yardage from possession guy Michael Crabtree. Based on the matchups, any touchdown passes from

Carr likely will go to a tight end or a running back. The score projected for Clive Walford could easily

go to Mychal Rivera. Denver ranks only 18th in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, so

Latavius Murray should have some moderate success despite operating in a timeshare.

The Buffalo Bills are in a tough spot. They probably won’t have the services of LeSean McCoy once

again, and the Seattle Seahawks are undoubtedly mad about their (1) Week 7 tie with the Arizona

Cardinals and (2) Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Don’t expect to see the emotionally drained

Seahawks defense that coughed up 25 points to the Saints. It’s going to be tough sledding for presumed

starting tailback Mike Gillislee against a Seattle defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy

points and only two touchdowns to opposing running backs. The Seahawks also have yielded just five

touchdown passes all season, so there’s no reason to get excited about Tyrod Taylor and company

taking on the Legion of Boom. Robert Woods is expected to match up against Richard Sherman. In

addition, Seattle has ceded only one touchdown to enemy tight ends, so Charles Clay is a weak start.

Consider the Bills team defense a fringe starting option.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Thomas Rawls (leg)

With only four offensive touchdowns scored in three games played since a Week 5 bye, the Seattle

Seahawks offense is clearly struggling. However, the Seahawks should muster enough scoring at home

to slide by a formidable Buffalo Bills defense. Russell Wilson hasn’t tossed a touchdown pass in three

straight games and looks like just a shell of his prolific 2015 self. He’s not a recommended start. The

Bills rank ninth in fantasy points allowed to the tight end position, but Jimmy Graham, who has been

a Wilson favorite lately, is still the best bet for a receiving score. Since Buffalo ranks 16th in fantasy

points ceded to opposing wideouts, Doug Baldwin deserves flex consideration. Tyler Lockett and

Jermaine Kearse continue to slide by with only three or four scoreless catches most weeks. The Bills

rank just 20th in fantasy points yielded to enemy tailbacks, so Christine Michael, who usually runs

well at home, is an okay play. The Seahawks team defense is a solid start.
