you’ll find a list of players I have spotlighted for daily fantasy selections
leading into the ninth week of the NFL season. I’m mostly looking for affordable
options who will provide good value.I use the following criteria to try and find
players — NFL Vegas totals, NFL team stats, what the fantasy gurus are saying
and my GUT.Without further ado, let’s see who’s made my list of five players
this week!Nick Chubb, RB BrownsPhoto by Joe Sargent/Getty ImagesThere are a
plethora of reasons why Nick Chubb is a great pick on Sunday. For starters,
Chubb has averaged 6.1 yards per carry this season. The Browns are also under
the control of new head coach Gregg Williams.Williams is a defensive-minded
coach, and defensive guys love to run the ball. I wouldn’t be surprised if Chubb
had over 20 carries on Sunday.The Browns are also facing the Chiefs who have
given up the second-most fantasy points on average to running backs in the NFL
(25.9). All of these factors should lead to Chubb having a solid game.Devin
Funchess, WR PanthersPhoto by Grant Halverson/Getty ImagesI understand Devin
Funchess isn’t exactly having a great season. However, the Panthers/Buccaneers
game has a Vegas total of 55 points, so points should be flowing in Carolina.The
Bucs also have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL — they’re currently
giving up the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers per game (31.1).With
the game likely being a shootout according to
Vegas
Womens
Larry Johnson Jersey , and the Bucs’ issues on defense, I like Funchess’
chances to put up decent numbers in this game.Brandin Cooks, WR RamsPhoto by
John McCoy/Getty ImagesBrandin Cooks may cost more than the typical players I
suggest on our weekly fantasy plays, but I believe he will be worth it this
week.Cooks is averaging 18.4 yards per reception which makes him one of the
better deep threats in the NFL. In case you missed it, the Rams have been
throwing the ball all over the field.I suspect the Saints defense — which gives
up the most points against wide receivers per game (35.9) — will give up a lot
of fantasy points to Cooks.O.J. Howard, TE BuccaneersPhoto by Julio
Aguilar/Getty ImagesRemember that 55-point spread between the Panthers and Bucs
earlier? Well, we’re using it again as part of our reasoning for picking O.J.
Howard.The Panthers have given up the most fantasy points per game to tight ends
so far in 2018 (12.7). Add this into likelihood this game ends up being a
shootout, and Howard should have a good game.Isaiah Crowell, RB JetsPhoto by
Mike Stobe/Getty ImagesIsaiah Crowell has 484 rushing yards so far on the
season, and 321 of them came in two games. This means the other six games for
Crowell have left more than to be
desired.However
Len
Dawson Jersey , I believe Crowell can have another one of his big games in
Week 9 due to the Dolphins’ issues with their run defense.Currently, the
Dolphins are allowing the eighth-most yards per rushing attempt in the NFL
(4.6). The Dolphins also allow the third most fantasy points per game to running
backs in the NFL (24.8).Add all these factors together, and it might be worth
taking a risk on Crowell. If he explodes and has a huge game, he could provide
incredible value. In this case, Crowell is a high risk/high reward decision.Last
week I chose Kareem Hunt as the Chiefs fantasy player of the week. Hunt had a
fair day by his standards, accumulating 86 all-purpose yards (16 carries, 5
receptions) and a receiving touchdown.This week’s Chiefs fantasy pick of the
week is...Chiefs D/STThe last time I picked the Chiefs D/ST as my “Chiefs pick
of the week” — they absolutely manhandled the Jaguars offense.Photo by Peter
Aiken/Getty ImagesI’m picking the Chiefs defense yet again, and for the
following reasons:The Browns have given up the 10th most fantasy points per game
to D/ST (8.25).Cleveland averages 4.9 yards per offensive play — fourth worst in
the NFL.The Browns have thrown the eighth-most interceptions on the year.Tyreek
Hill (if available) can score against the Browns special teams unit.If Hill
isn’t available, Tremon Smith can score against the Browns special teams unit,
too.Baker Mayfield is still
learning

and Bob Sutton can be pretty good at drawing mistakes out of young
quarterbacks.The ‘18 Chiefs offense is so different, Travis Kelce was speechless
Travis Kelce took the podium for his first press conference of the regular
season Wednesday, as the Kansas City Chiefs began preparing for their Week 1
matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Believe it or not, if you include his
injured year in 2013, it is the start of Kelce’s sixth campaign with the
team.There is a stark difference in 2018, of course, as it will be his first
year working with a quarterback other than Alex Smith, the Chiefs turning the
organizational reins over to second-year QB Patrick Mahomes this offseason.Photo
by Peter Aiken/Getty ImagesKelce no doubt has a different manner to him early in
2018—and I find it to be a good thing. His approach to each press opportunity is
cool, calm and collected, like that of someone who knows he is a team
leader
Womens
Orlando Scandrick Jersey , a role he may need to play this season.Even at
the ripe age of 28, Kelce is one of the eldest Chiefs on the starting
offense.Kelce was asked early on in the press conference about how the Chiefs’
offense may be different with Mahomes than with Smith in previous seasons, and
the question gave him pause. “Um...it’s uh...without saying too much it’s,
um...”Well what is it?“I can’t really—I don’t want to give away too much of the
secret,” Kelce finally said. “It’s going to be fun to get out there. It’s new
for everybody, so I think it’s something everyone can really get excited about,
even the fans.”But would he say there are going to be some tangible
differences?“Oh, without a doubt,” he said, this time more sure of himself.
“Definitely some differences in a good way.”At this
point
Reggie
Ragland Jersey , we had to know, right?So I asked Mahomes—what is the 2018
brand of Chiefs football?“We want to attack every aspect of the field,” Mahomes
said. “I feel like we have the weapons to attack short, we can run the ball, we
can stretch the defense deep, we can attack the middle with the guys that we
have. “We just want to make sure that we have to keep the defense honest on
every single play. They can't send everybody back and try to cover the deep
ball—we’ll run the ball on them. And then if they bring everybody in the box, we
want to be able to attack them deep.“We just want to make sure we can attack
everywhere on the field.” It sounds like it could be a bit for the Chargers to
manage. Four more days until we find out.
