Daily Fantasy Football: Week 9

Whether you are a DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) fanatic or new to DFS, we are here to help. Each week, the Fantasy 4um provides recommendations and stats for DFS. We'll touch on some H2H and 50/50 value plays as well as give you tournament contest recommendations. Additionally, we'll provide general tips and tricks throughout the season to hopefully help you in your quest for DFS tournament glory. 



Alright, let's get started on Week 9! 

Quarterbacks

Studs:

Tom Brady

Phillip Rivers

Andy Dalton

Derek Carr

Upside Potential:

Eli Manning

Marcus Marriota

Ben Roethlisberger

Tyron Taylor

Drew Brees

Peyton Manning

Sleepers:

Jay Cutler

Pick of the Week:

Derek Carr - did you see what Carr did last week against Darrelle Revis and the Jets? He was on point, throwing for 333 yards and 4 TDs. He's increased his yardage in each of his last three games since playing the Denver Broncos defense (whom he fared much better against the Aaron Rodgers). Expect Carr to have another great game this week in a high scoring matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

Running Backs

Stud:

Devonta Freeman

Upside Potential:

DeMarco Murray

Chris Ivory

Doug Martin

Jeremy Hill

Mark Ingram

Sleepers:

DeAngelo Williams

Jeremy Langford

Picks of the Week

Devonta Freeman: in six starts, Devonta Freeman has not been held under 130 yards. Not once.

Jeremy Langford: although an unknown commodity, Langford is expected to get the bulk of the carries on Monday night against San Diego. His price point on both DraftKings and FanDuel is very favorable. We'd start Langford in almost any format of DFS for the high floor and upside. 

Wide Receivers

Studs:

Julio Jones

Odel Beckham Jr.

Julius Edelman

Antonio Brown

AJ Green

Demaryius Thomas

Allen Robinson

Upside Potential:

Mike Evans

Amari Cooper

J. Lamdry

Donte Moncrief / TY Hilton (if healthy)

Martavis Bryant

Dez Bryant

Sammy Watkins

Sleepers:

Eric Decker

Stephon Diggs

Michael Crabtree

Willie Snead

Malcom Floyd

Dwayne Harris

Terrance Williams

Pick of the Week:

Alshon Jeffrey has been targeted on 34% of Cutler's passes in their three games together this year. After getting 8 receptions for 147 and a TD one week and 10 for 116 and a TD the next week, Jeffrey's price is still down $500 on FanDuel and $1,600 on DraftKings from when the season began.

Tight Ends

Studs:

Gronk

Greg Olsen

Gary Barnidge

Jordan Reed

Benjamin Watson

Sleepers:

Charles Clay (If Tyrod Taylor is active)

Pick of the Week:

Gary Barnidge continued his outlandish production in Week 8, scoring his sixth TD in his last six games. Barnidge was seeing a lot of targets from McCown, but should see just as many from Johnny Football this Thursday. 

Defense

Studs:
Rams

Falcons

Patriots

Bengals

Jets

Broncos

Sleepers:

Jaguars

Eagles

Saints

Good luck this week! Let us know how you do @Fantasy4um
