Week 9 Fantasy Football News To Know

Hey there!

As always - I spent 3+ hours reading injury reports this week - so you don’t have to.

Here are the most important takeaways for your fantasy leagues in Week 9:

Puka Nacua is questionable

He’s dealing with a knee injury to the same knee he injured in Week 1. If there’s any good news here – it’s that Puka wasn’t immediately ruled out for Week 9. But this is a big concern – add Demarcus Robinson if you can…

DK Metcalf is OUT

Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the team with 7 targets last week with Metcalf out. And Jake Bobo saw more playing time as he ran 81% of the routes - but earned just 1 target. You can add Bobo in super deep leagues…

Tony Pollard is questionable

And backup Tyjae Spears was already ruled out. Add RB Julius Chesnut in case Pollard is out…

Tee Higgins is doubtful

Add Jermaine Burton now. Burton played on a season-high 43% of the Bengals passing plays last week. There’s a chance he overtakes Andrei Iosivas as the WR2 if Higgins is out…

Jordan Love is questionable

But recent reports believe he’s trending to play. Love was able to practice on Thursday & Friday. But the Packers have a bye next week – there's still a decent chance they choose to hold him out...

Tyrone Tracy will play

He’s cleared the concussion protocol and is a must start. Tracy earned a massive 91% of the RB carries last week. He’s the Giants clear starting RB over Devin Singletary – start him…

Brian Robinson is questionable

He practiced in limited fashion all week with a hamstring issue. Hamstrings are tricky injuries – especially for RBs. If Robinson is out – Austin Ekeler becomes a Top 24 RB this week…

Amari Cooper is questionable

He practiced in limited fashion all week with a wrist injury. Right now – it seems like Cooper is trending to play. He’s a Top 24 WR if active…

Zack Moss is doubtful

This makes Chase Brown a must start. He’s averaging 68% of the teams carries the past 3 weeks. And now he faces the Raiders dead last ranked tackling defense…

Tank Bigsby is questionable

But he was able to practice in limited fashion all week. However - Travis Etienne also practiced all week. If both backs play – neither guy is a Top 30 option this week…

Xavier Legette is questionable

And Adam Thielen is also doubtful for the Panthers. This is setting up nicely for rookie WR Jalen Coker. He’ll face a Saints secondary that is down multiple defensive backs…

Derek Carr will play

He’s no longer listed on the injury report. Carr returns in a great matchup against the Panthers. Carolina allows the most passing yards per play this season…

Drake Maye is questionable

He’s battling a concussion & as of now he hasn’t cleared the protocol. If Maye is out – Jacoby Brissett will start. The Patriots average the fewest passing yards per game with Brissett under center this year…

Brian Thomas is questionable

And WR Gabe Davis is a game-time decision. Expect a lot of usage for TE Evan Engram this week. And you can pick up & play Parker Washington if either Thomas or Davis were to miss…

The Saints are banged up at running back

Backup Jamal Williams is doubtful. And Kendre Miller is OUT. Expect a massive workload for Alvin Kamara in a great matchup against the Panthers bottom-5 run defense…
