Welcome to Week 9, or as I wish to name it, one other week we might lose a number of fantasy vast receivers to damage! The most recent to undergo season ending accidents are Stefon Diggs and Christian Kirk and final week was gentle on receiver accidents! However we persist.
On the midway level(ish) of the season, Ja’Marr Chase leads all vast receivers in PPR factors, whereas Nico Collins leads in factors per sport. The most effective rookie receiver for fantasy to date has been the Jaguars Brian Thomas, however Malik Nabers is the rookie chief in factors per sport and the general chief in receptions per sport.
Perhaps essentially the most shocking participant to date is Darnell Mooney, who has been thriving with Kirk Cousins in Atlanta. He’s at present WR13. However, regardless of so many accidents, the cream continues to rise to the highest.
Week 9 vast receiver bye weeks
George Pickens, Calvin Austin, Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings
Week 9 vast receiver accidents
Diontae Johnson, Panthers
Johnson missed final week with a ribs damage, however that may have been to avoid wasting him for a commerce, which they made with the Ravens. Johnson heads to the Ravens and certain might be wholesome sufficient to play as quickly as he’s up to the mark with the playbook.
Stefon Diggs, Texans
Diggs is out for the season with a knee damage. This can be a blow to the Texans who had been already with out Nico Collins as a result of a hamstring damage. Tank Dell and Dalton Schultz ought to see an uptick in work, specifically this week on TNF in opposition to the Jets.
Nico Collins, Texans
Collins may be activated from I.R. in Week 10, and that seems to be the plan. He was dominating when he was despatched to I.R. and the hope is that he’ll begin dominating as soon as once more. And with out Diggs, I count on Collins to see an enormous workload as soon as he returns.
Christian Kirk, Jaguars
Kirk suffered a damaged collar bone in Week 8 and is finished for the season. Parker Washington ought to get the largest bump in work.
Brian Thomas, Jaguars
It seems Thomas’ chest damage shouldn’t set him again too badly. There seems to be an opportunity that he can play this weekend in opposition to the Eagles and can be in line for wore utilization with Kirk out.
Mike Evans, Buccaneers
Evans is eyeing a Week 11 return from his hamstring damage.
Sterling Shepard, Buccaneers
Shepard suffered a hamstring damage in Week 8, however the severity is unknown. He did fill-in for Chris Godwin within the slot, so there may be hope that he could possibly be helpful in fantasy if wholesome, however Jalen McMillan seems to have essentially the most upside whereas Mike Evans is out together with his personal hamstring damage.
Tee Higgins, Bengals
Higgins suffered a quad damage in follow final week and was pressured to overlook Week 8. He’s thought-about day-to-day, so there’s a likelihood he can play this week in opposition to the Raiders.
DK Metcalf, Seahawks
Metcalf missed final week together with his MCL sprain, however the staff is optimistic that he can play this week. His presence was clearly lacking final week and the staff will need him again as quickly as potential.
JuJu Smith-Schuster, Chiefs
Smith-Schuster’s timetable for a return is unknown at this level, nevertheless it wouldn’t be a shock to see him miss at the least one other week.
Jameson Williams, Lions
Williams has yet one more week in his PED Suspension, so he received’t play in Inexperienced Bay this week. Sam LaPorta and Amon St. Brown ought to get bumps in utilization.
Jauan Jennings, 49ers
Jennings missed the Dallas sport together with his hip damage, however with the bye week, it appears like Jennings ought to be accessible in Week 10.
Week 9 vast receiver sleepers
Courtland Sutton, Broncos vs. Ravens
Bo Nix continues to enhance every week and he’s lastly enjoying effectively sufficient that we are able to count on the Broncos to not simply lay down and put up no fantasy factors. The Ravens proceed to be opponent to focus on the passing sport and there’s little likelihood they’re going to get behind huge. Sutton simply caught 8-of-11 targets for 100 yards in matchup with the Panthers and I count on an analogous line this week.
Josh Downs, Colts vs. Vikings
The Vikings protection has been getting smoked by vast receivers this season regardless of enjoying effectively in different areas. They rank third in move protection EPA, however thirty first in fantasy factors allowed to vast receivers. Josh Downs has performed nice since coming back from his damage, and has particularly been good with Joe Flacco as his quarterback. He caught 24-of-30 targets for 217 yards and two touchdowns in three video games with Flacco beneath middle.
