Week 9 By the Numbers

The Running Backs

The Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been on a tear the past several weeks. In his last three games he’s not only averaging over 100 yards on the ground per game, but he’s also averaging 8.1 yards per clip. He’ll have a chance to continue this success this week against a Packer’s D that allows over 4.5 yards per carry.

The Bills running back James Cook has scored a rushing touchdown in five of his last six games, including three straight. Tomorrow Cook faces a Dolphins run defense that has allowed the 2nd most rushing touchdowns (10) to opposing running backs, including at least one touchdown in every game this season. Cook has a high probability to hit pay dirt Sunday.

The Falcons running back Bijan Robinson (fantasy RB4 this season) has been electric the past 3 weeks totaling 358 yards of offense (261 rush, 93 rec) with 4 touchdowns. He’s set up to continue his rampant pace facing the Cowboys run defense that has allowed the 3rd most rushing touchdowns (9) and 4th most fantasy points to opposing running backs.

That's My Take

Week 9 By the Numbers

The Quarterbacks

Over the past three weeks Lions quarterback Jared Goff (Fantasy QB15 for the season) has elevated his play into top-10 territory and remains a solid streaming option for Week 9 with a tough road tilt against the Packers. Despite the tough matchup, the Packers secondary has proven to be vulnerable allowing multiple touchdowns passes in 5 of 8 contests this season. This week will be number six.

The Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield remains the top gunslinger over the past three weeks averaging well over 300 yards passing per game. He may have to rely heavily on his tight end this week for any success, the Chiefs D has allowed 2nd most receptions and yards to opposing tight ends.

The Broncos rookie passer Bo Nix enters week 9 as the fantasy QB10 with his top-10 play spanning the past four weeks (Fantasy QB3 during this stretch). He may be tough to trust as a starter in one quarterback leagues, but this week he’s a safe play in two-QB formats facing the Ravens D that allows the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.

That's My Take

Week 8: By the Numbers

The Wide Receivers

The Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has led the team with 39 targets over the past 4 weeks (9 more than Ja’Marr Chase). During this stretch he’s been the fantasy WR7 (ppr) with 26 catches, 302 yards receiving, and three touchdowns.

For the season the Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs is currently the fantasy WR39. But since his one game hiatus over the past two weeks has been the fantasy WR7 collecting 11 passes for 143 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Tomorrow Doubs faces a Jaguars defense that is allowing the 4th most fantasy points & receiving yards along with the 3rd most receptions to opposing wide receivers

That's my take

Week 8: By the Numbers

The Running Backs

Quietly over the past 4 weeks, in three games Bears running back D'Andre Swift checks in as the RB3 fantasy points per game with 257 yards rushing, 147 yards receiving, and 3 rushing touchdowns. He is the fantasy RB17 for the season (ppr) and gets a run at a Commander's defense that has allowed the 6th most rushing yards and 5.1 yards per carry.     

During the last 4 weeks, Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has registered a rushing score in 3 of his last 4 games, scoring in double-digit fantasy points all four weeks, including five straight games. For the year Hubbard is the fantasy RB16 (ppr) and tomorrow he’s got a tough matchup against a Broncos defense that has allowed the 12th fewest fantasy points to opposing runners.

Back with the Chiefs, running back Kareem Hunt has been solid during the team's last two games. Hunt has averaged 26 touches and 100 scrimmage yards finishing in the top 10 fantasy scoring for running backs in each of the two games. This Sunday Hunt will square off against the Raiders 23rd ranked run defense that is allowing the 10th most rushing yards to opposing running backs.

That's my take

Week 8: By the Numbers

The Quarterbacks

Last 4 weeks, Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has been solid checking in as the Fantasy Football QB2 fantasy points per game, averaging more than 300 yards passing per game with 12 touchdown passes. Mayfield faces a Falcons defense that allows 11th most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.

Over the past 4 weeks, Lions quarterback Jared Goff is a QB1 in all formats, ranking as the QB4 fantasy points per game. In his 3 starts Goff is averaging 295 yards passing with 7 touchdown passes. Goff will challenge a middle of the pack Titans defense that allows the 16th fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.

The Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has lifted his play his last three starts adding 7 touchdown passes with his 687 yards passing, 74.1 completion percentage, and 102 yards rushing. During this stretch Williams has been the fantasy QB8 fantasy points per game.

That's my take
