[LVR - WR Davante Adams has giant afternoon](=) Source: ESPN Las Vegas Raiders WR [Davante Adams](=) posted 10 catches for a game-high 146 yards, two touchdowns and 17 targets in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the fourth 100-yard game for Adams this season, and his second with multiple touchdowns, while scoring seven total times through eight games. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] For a team without a lot of bright spots, Adams was one. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [CHI - QB Justin Fields accounts for four touchdowns]() Source: NFL.com Chicago Bears QB [Justin Fields](=) went 17-for-28 for 123 yards and three touchdowns against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. He also rushed for 178 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fields had a 61-yard touchdown run, the longest play of the year for the Bears offense. He has been unleashed with some help from a vulnerable Dolphins defense today, and now we won't be getting any questions about whether to start Fields going forward. The resurgent Lions defense is up next. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [GB - RB Aaron Jones suffers injury]() Source: NFL.com Green Bay Packers RB [Aaron Jones](=) (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the Week 9 game and is considered questionable to return. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] A.J. Dillon hasn't been very good for fantasy, but if Jones is out for the game vs. Dallas next week, it will be difficult to leave Dillon on the bench. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [CIN - RB Joe Mixon has franchise-best five TDs in Week 9]( Source: ESPN Stats and Information Cincinnati Bengals RB [Joe Mixon](=) rushed 22 times for 153 yards and four touchdowns in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers, while adding four receptions for 58 yards and a score on five targets. He is the first player in Bengals franchise history to record five total scores in a single game, and he was the first player in team history to record four TDs in a single half, too. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mixon was seemingly unstoppable Sunday on the ground and through the air. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [JAX - TE Evan Engram leaves early]() Source: NFL.com Jacksonville Jaguars TE [Evan Engram](=) (back) suffered a back injury during the Week 9 game and is considered questionable to return. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Engram was having a quiet game before the injury. He hasn't been a real difference-maker in fantasy this year, so maybe we shouldn't be patient waiting to see what the prognosis is when it's time to submit waiver claims this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [WAS - TE Logan Thomas blanked in Week 9](=) Source: ESPN Washington Commanders TE [Logan Thomas](=) did not have a catch on three targets in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Thomas has gotten back on the field after a calf injury interrupted his season, but he wasn't a fantasy factor despite having a good matchup today. He's not worth a roster spot in redraft leagues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [CHI - Two touchdowns for TE Cole Kmet]() Source: NFL.com Chicago Bears TE [Cole Kmet](=) caught five passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. He was targeted six times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Kmet is finally in the fantasy-relevant column after this one. The touchdowns were easy and more opportunities should come with Justin Fields' game starting to take off. Kmet even got involved as a runner in this one. He'll be a priority waiver wire pickup at tight end with the Lions up next. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [IND - RB Deon Jackson quiet in Week 9]( Source: NFL.com Indianapolis Colts RB [Deon Jackson](=) rushed for 23 yards on 11 carries against the New England Patriots in Week 9. He also caught two passes for 13 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jackson got a little banged up with a knee issue, but the Colts offense had no chance in this one with Sam Ehlinger looking like he didn't belong on an NFL field against the Patriots. Even with the questions around Jonathan Taylor, Jackson might not be worth carrying on your roster going forward. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [GB - Allen Lazard productive in Week 9]() Source: NFL.com Green Bay Packers WR [Allen Lazard](=) caught four passes for 87 yards and one touchdown against the Detroit Lions in Week 9. He was targeted 10 times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Lazard had a key fourth down target that looked like a catch at first, but was incomplete on review. He should be a solid WR3/Flex play going forward with Romeo Doubs suffering a serious leg injury in this game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [GB - Eleven touches for RB Aaron Jones]() Source: NFL.com Green Bay Packers RB [Aaron Jones](=) (ankle) rushed for 25 yards on nine carries against the Detroit Lions in Week 9. He also caught two passes for 20 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We'll be watching the practice reports this week, but don't expect to have Jones for the matchup against Dallas. Jones was in a walking boot after the game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [LAC - Joshua Palmer hits triple digits](=) Source: ESPN Los Angeles Chargers WR Joshua Palmer registered eight receptions for a career-high 106 yards on his 10 targets in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Palmer was able to avoid Falcons shutdown corner A.J. Terrell, who missed this game, and Justin Herbert was looking for his de facto #1 receiver. If Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are both out next week, Palmer will be an upside WR3/Flex play. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [MIA - RB Raheem Mostert finds end zone]() Source: NFL.com Miami Dolphins RB [Raheem Mostert](=) rushed for 26 yards and one touchdown on nine carries against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mostert got the early score, but was marginalized as the game went on by the contributions from new addition Jeff Wilson. Mostert is more of a Wilson injury upside hold than a standalone RB2/Flex heading into a matchup with the Browns. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [MIA - WR Jaylen Waddle catches TD pass]() Source: NFL.com Miami Dolphins WR [Jaylen Waddle](=) caught five passes for 85 yards and one touchdown against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. He was targeted seven times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Waddle also drew a 47-yard pass interference penalty. He has been one of the best values of fantasy drafts with no sign of slowing down heading into a matchup with Cleveland. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [CHI - WR Chase Claypool has quiet debut]() Source: NFL.com Chicago Bears WR [Chase Claypool](=) caught two passes for 13 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. He was targeted six times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Justin Fields is locked in on Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet in the passing game. Claypool should get more involved the longer he is with the team, but he's not worth a roster spot in typical redraft leagues right now. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [GB - QB Aaron Rodgers throws three INTs]() Source: NFL.com Green Bay Packers QB [Aaron Rodgers](=) went 23-for-43 for 291 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions against the Detroit Lions in Week 9. He also rushed for 40 yards on four carries during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rodgers moved the Packers offense all day, but threw too many picks in the red zone to get the win. If he's not going to be a good fantasy play against the Lions, he's not going to be a good fantasy play against Dallas. He's not an essential hold in short bench leagues with both Aaron Jones and Romeo Doubs going down in this one. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [WAS - QB Taylor Heinicke tosses pair of TDs](=) Source: ESPN Washington Commanders QB [Taylor Heinicke](=) completed 15-of-28 passes for 149 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings while running four times for 17 yards. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Heinicke's one touchdown pass was a prayer into triple coverage that was answered when an official got in the way and no one touched down Curtis Samuel after he made an astounding catch. There's no quarterback controversy here as the offense has been mostly bogged down while Heinicke has been in.

[WAS - WR Terry McLaurin targeted nine times](=) Source: ESPN Washington Commanders WR [Terry McLaurin](=) posted five grabs for 56 yards on a team-high nine targets in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This was a floor game for McLaurin, but Taylor Heinicke targets him frequently enough to make it not hurt your lineup too badly. McLaurin will have a tough matchup against the Eagles next week, but he's still probably a WR3/Flex play with the potential for ample garbage time targets. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [CHI - WR Darnell Mooney reaches end zone]() Source: NFL.com Chicago Bears WR [Darnell Mooney](=) caught seven passes for 43 yards and one touchdown against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. He was targeted eight times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mooney had a great catch in the corner of the end zone on a gorgeous throw from Justin Fields. As long as Fields is playing this week and the Bears defense is putting their offense in come from behind game scripts, Mooney should be a solid WR3/Flex play. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [MIA - QB Tua Tagovailoa throws three TDs]() Source: NFL.com Miami Dolphins QB [Tua Tagovailoa](=) went 21-for-30 for 302 yards and three touchdowns against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] As usual, the downfield passing game in the middle of the field came easy to Tagovailoa. The Dolphins were stopped on fourth down three different times on the Bears side of the field or it could have been an even bigger day. Tagovailoa is a solid QB1 heading into a matchup with the Browns. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [MIA - RB Jeff Wilson plays well in Week 9]() Source: NFL.com Miami Dolphins RB [Jeff Wilson](=) Jr. rushed for 51 yards on nine carries against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. He also caught three passes for 21 yards and one touchdown during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Wilson and Raheem Mostert split time, but Wilson was more effective and should be considered the better fantasy play going forward. He should be a priority add on the waiver wire this week and a solid RB2/Flex play against Cleveland next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [ATL - Tyler Allgeier just misses 100 yards](=) Source: ESPN Atlanta Falcons RB [Tyler Allgeier](=) rushed 10 times for a career-high 99 yards, including a season-long 44-yard scamper, while adding a 24-yard catch on his lone target in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Allgeier looked spry mixing in with the punishing running style of Cordarrelle Patterson. The Falcons are committed to the run and Allgeier is the #2 back behind Patterson, who runs with no regard for his health, so Allgeier is worth a roster spot going forward. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [LAC - RB Austin Ekeler totals two touchdowns](=) Source: ESPN Los Angeles Chargers WR [Austin Ekeler](=) rushed 14 times for 47 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons, while adding seven grabs for 24 yards and a score on nine targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Ekeler had what would have been a fluky long touchdown called back by penalty and fumbled the ball with a chance to clinch the game, but still got the tough yards for the Chargers and was a key cog in a long afternoon. He's an elite fantasy running back who should continue to score in 20s in PPR leagues, week in, week out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [LAC - TE Gerald Everett targeted eight times](=) Source: ESPN Los Angeles Chargers TE [Gerald Everett](=) finished with five receptions for 36 yards on eight targets in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Everett could have had a bigger day, but he dropped a potential huge gain. With the Chargers passing game depleted, he'll continue to be a low-end TE1 play against the 49ers next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 24. [MIN - WR Justin Jefferson hits triple digits](=) Source: ESPN Minnesota Vikings RB [Justin Jefferson](=) posted seven receptions for a game-high 115 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders, while adding a 10-yard run. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jefferson had a great touchdown on a big first drive, but was quiet for the rest of the game, save for one key big play in the second half. He could be welcoming Tre'Davious White back to the field against the Bills next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 25. [DET - RB Jamaal Williams productive in Week 9]() Source: NFL.com Detroit Lions RB [Jamaal Williams](=) rushed for 81 yards on 24 carries against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Williams wasn't able to score, but not for a lack of opportunity. Instead, the short touchdowns came on passes. The Lions offense is still doing enough to keep him in the RB2/Flex mix against the Bears next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 26. [MIN - QB Kirk Cousins tosses pair of touchdowns](=) Source: ESPN Minnesota Vikings QB [Kirk Cousins](=) completed 22-of-40 passes for 265 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders, while running twice for minus-2 yards. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Washington played Cousins very tough in his first game back in his old home stadium, but he made the plays necessary to come back from a 10 point deficit and keep the Vikings on track to win their division by a big margin. Cousins is a low ceiling QB1 going into a matchup against Buffalo, but he showed he could keep plugging away and eventually do enough in a hard-fought win. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 27. [DET - D'Andre Swift finishes with 50 total yards]() Source: NFL.com Detroit Lions RB D'Andre Swift rushed for 10 yards on two carries against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. He also caught three passes for 40 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Swift was tackled at the one, or he would have been a fantasy success today. He still looks explosive even though he's not 100% and the Lions don't want to give him his normal workload. Unless practice reports are bad, keep him in your lineup against the Bears next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 28. [MIA - WR Tyreek Hill has outstanding performance]() Source: NFL.com Miami Dolphins WR [Tyreek Hill](=) caught seven passes for 143 yards and one touchdown against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. He was targeted eight times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hill has now posted the highest receiving yards total through nine games in NFL history, breaking Calvin Johnson's record. He also scored for the first time since Week 2. The Browns will try to contain him next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 29. [NE - RB Rhamondre Stevenson productive in Week 9](=) Source: NFL.com New England Patriots RB [Rhamondre Stevenson](=) rushed for 60 yards on 15 carries against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. He also caught three passes for 10 yards and one touchdown during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Stevenson's touchdown catch was a one-handed thing of beauty, and he did what he could in the running game, but this was a disappointment considering that Damien Harris was out and the Patriots led for most of the game. Stevenson will still be an every-week start whether Harris is active or not, but his fantasy teams will have to hope that the Patriots offense improves after the bye. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 30. [MIN - TE T.J. Hockenson makes nine grabs in debut](=) Source: ESPN Minnesota Vikings TE [T.J. Hockenson](=) posted nine receptions for 70 yards on his nine targets in his team debut in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hockenson was heavily involved even though he joined the team during the week. He is proving to be much more reliable than Irv Smith and early returns indicate his fantasy value should be up on this move to Minnesota. He'll face the Bills next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 31. [NYJ - RB James Robinson outtouches Michael Carter](=) Source: ESPN New York Jets RB [James Robinson](=) rushed 13 times for 48 yards in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills while adding two receptions for five yards and a touchdown. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Robinson seemed comfortable in the new offense and one has to think that will only get better. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 32. [ATL - RB Cordarrelle Patterson finds end zone twice](=) Source: ESPN Atlanta Falcons RB [Cordarrelle Patterson](=) rushed 13 times for 44 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers while adding a 9-yard catch on his lone target in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Patterson had a 38-yard touchdown called back by penalty, and he ran over Drue Tranquill on the way to one of his scores. He was spelled by Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley, but was still a good fantasy play. Consider him a strong RB2 against the Panthers on Thursday.
