WEEK 9: By the Numbers
If you
are like me, you have plenty of issues dealing with the week 9 byes, mixed in
with a few injuries. I am still processing matchups and looking for the best
plays for today’s game, but before I make any decisions you know I
will be looking at the numbers.
Here are
some week 9 notes…
Russell Wilson (QB)
The
Seahawks quarterback has been nothing less than solid this season with a passer
rating of 99.0 and seven wins. In all eight starts this season Wilson has
scored no less than double digits and only less than 11 points twice. He gets
the Buccaneers who allow the 8th most fantasy points to opposing
quarterbacks.
Alex Smith (QB)
The
Chiefs signal caller has been consistent this season. Although he lacks flash
he’s still managed to score double digit fantasy points
(standard scoring) in his last two starts. This week he gets the Bills who
allow the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.
Josh McCown (QB)
With
starting quarterback Jay Cutler
sidelined, McCown will get the start. Back in week 7, in relief McCown posted
solid numbers with 204 yards passing and a touchdown. This week he’ll face a Packers secondary that allows the 11th most fantasy
points to opposing quarterbacks.
Donald Brown (RB)
The
Colts versatile scat back has been a nice compliment to the power running of Trent Richardson. Brown has also been a
pleasant productive play this season, especially in recent weeks. Brown is only
averaging 8 touches and nearly 54 yards per game in his last four. He’s more of a deeper league play, but could reward owners this week facing
the Texans defense that allows the 14th most fantasy points to
opposing running backs.
Danny Woodhead (RB)
The
Chargers have found electricity in Woodhead this season. He’s dynamite in a small package averaging 14 touches per game in his last 6
and 78 yards. Woodhead also has four scores this season. This week he faces a Redskins
defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing running backs;
this is a great matchup for fantasy owners.
Harry Douglas (WR)
With
both Julio Jones (IR) and Roddy White sidelined Douglas has emerged as a PPR
monster the past two weeks. Douglas has recorded 100 yards receiving in his
last two games including 18 receptions. He faces a tough Panthers defense that
allows the 4th fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers, but he’s still worth starting with Jones and White out.
That's
my take for Week 9.
