Those types of sleepers will be needed this week, as Austin Hooper, Gerald Everett, Jared Cook, and Tyler Eifert are on bye. It helps that Brate (or Howard, if he returns) has a favorable matchup against Seattle. Greg Olsen (vs. Titans), T.J. Hockenson (@ Raiders), Eric Ebron/Jack Doyle (@ Steelers), and Vance McDonald (vs. Colts) also have great matchups on paper, which is why we’ve ranked them ahead of TE stalwarts Zach Ertz (vs. Bears) and Mark Andrews (vs. Patriots).
WEEK 9 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | D/ST | Kicker
Ertz has disappointed most of the season, so while we’re certainly not giving up on him, it’s fair to move him down. Dallas Goedert has poached touchdowns in each of the past two weeks, but if that starts to even out, Ertz will shoot back up the rankings in a hurry. Andrews has disappointed lately, but the targets are still high, so he can produce against anyone – even the Patriots.
WEEK 9 DFS LINEUPS:Y! cash | Y! GPP | DK cash | DK GPP | FD cash | FD GPP
Noah Fant (vs. Browns) and Luke Willson (vs. Buccaneers) are two lightly owned players who have favorable matchups. If you’re in a bind and need a boom-or-bust option, you could do worse than either of those two.
