NFL Sunday Week 9
Sunday’s Heroes

Week 9 was led by an NFL rookie movement on Sunday. There was a record setting memorable performance by a rookie quarterback (CJ Stroud), a breakout performance from a rookie running back (Keaton Mitchell), and a huge game from a rookie wide receiver (Tank Dell). While these performances were special and deserve recognition, there were a few other outstanding players that earned the Sunday spotlight.

Joshua Dobbs (Vikings) Playing in relief of the injured starter quarterback Jaren Hall, Dobbs entered the game in the first half and led the Vikings to a come-from-behind Week 9 win. Dobbs completed 20 of 30 passes for 158 yards passing and two touchdowns. Dobbs is expected to start Week 10 and is in the streaming conversation.

Rhamondre Stevenson (Patriots) The Patriots' ball carrier turned in a solid Week 9 performance. Stevenson (fantasy RB27) carried the ball 9 times for 87 yards with a rushing touchdown and added 6 receptions for 42 yards receiving. With a Colts matchup in Week 10 Stevenson will be ranked as a back-end RB-2.

Noah Brown (Texans) The Texans wide receiver showed up big in Week 9 turning in a memorable performance worth noting. Brown was targeted just six times, but caught all six and made the most of his opportunities, totaling 153 yards receiving with a long 75-yard score. Brown and the Texans have a date with the Bengals in Week 10. He is barely owned in many leagues and should be scooped up and inserted as a flex.

Jake Ferguson (Cowboys) For the second straight week Ferguson found the endzone, but this week he did quite a bit more on the field. Ferguson was targeted 10 times, caught 7 balls, for 91 yards and a touchdown. The Cowboys will host the G-men in Week 10, Ferugson is in-line to be a TE-1 once again.

Maxx Crosby (Raiders) The Raiders pass rusher was once again a terror on Sunday recording 3 sacks, 6 solo tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 3 QB hits. 

Ja’Whaun Bentley (Patriots) The Patriots linebacker was among the leaders in tackles on Sunday, recording 10 solo to go along with 3 assists, 2 tackles for loss, 2 QB hits, and 2 sacks.

Kenny Moore (Colts) The Colts defensive back was Johnny-on-the-spot not once, but twice. Along with his 7 solo tackles, Moore recorded two picks for a pair of touchdowns..

That's my take!
