How Noah Fant became a Milly Maker winner is instructive. How Jaylen Samuels got there in spite of 10 rushing yards.

Melvin Gordon was good all along. Devin Singletary is not actually electric.

Through nine weeks, this past game was D.J. Chark’s first time outside the top-50 wide receivers. There’s now uncertainty surrounding him because he gets a new quarterback and he has a Week 10 bye. Trade for him now before owners realize he faces Tampa Bay in Week 13, Oakland in Week 15 and Atlanta in Week 16.

After seeing at least a 41.1-percent Snap Share and a minimum of 10 opportunities from Weeks 6-8, LeSean McCoy’s role diminished in Week 9. He garnered three carries, one target and an 11.3-percent Snap Share. On the other hand, Damien Williams commanded a 75.5-percent Snap Share and 14 opportunities with three red zone carries. He ripped off a 91-yard touchdown that silenced the Shady supporters.

On the season, Ronald Jones has been elusive, with a 30.0-percent (No. 9 among qualified running backs) Juke Rate and 1.88 (No. 6) Yards Created Per Carry. If he sees 15 to 20 touches a game, he is capable of pounding out four yards per carry. Which makes him a playable option in season-long leagues.  

With Will Dissly’s unfortunate injury, Jacob Hollister has been summoned. Thus far, the Seahawks have only used him on about half of the team’s snaps. If they begin to put him on the field at the same rate that they were using Dissly, around 80-percent of snaps, he will do Dissly-like things. The hard part is drawing Russell Wilson’s eye, and Hollister clearly has his attention. 

It was an expected shootout with Tampa Bay with Russell Wilson unsurprisingly delivering in a massive way. Wilson had a season-high 43 attempts and was highly efficient, finishing 29 of 43 for 378 yards and five scores. Wilson fed D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett all day, the latter finally having a sky-high ceiling game after a consistent start to 2019.

In a true playoff preview-type game, Lamar Jackson came out on top over the Patriots. Jim Harbaugh is now 13-1 as a home underdog, and continues to tailor his gameplan around the elusive, constantly improving Jackson. He now has his team is in prime position to play a little January football.

If there’s one thing Derrick Henry has been this season, it’s consistent in his weekly touches. Now he has a chance to take his high-volume work load into Carolina. The Panthers allow +4.71 fantasy points above the mean to opposing running backs this season, despite boasting one of the best middle linebackers in Luke Kuechly.

Josh Jacobs has been another high-volume running back through the 2019 campaign, boasting a 65.1-percent (No. 18 among qualified running backs) Opportunity Share while averaging 15.3 (No. 15) Fantasy Points Per Game and 88.6 (No. 6) rush yards per game. He has dominated in red zone touches through Oakland’s first seven games, racking up 23 (No. 9) thus far.

Egregiously priced at $6,600 at DraftKings, Odell Beckham ranks 11th among qualified wide receivers in targets (61) and Air Yards (722) despite already having his bye. Beckham is playing as the focal point of Cleveland’s offense and owns a 2.11 (No. 6) Target Separation mark.

Priced well below the group of tight ends at the top, Zach Ertz remains Philadelphia’s target leader with 64. In fact, his 7.9 targets per game rank fourth among tight ends, while his 75.4 air yards per game rank third. While Ertz leads the position with six drops, his target volume remains secure enough to target him in DFS.

Has Melvin Gordon hit rock bottom? Aaron Jones is true bell cow.

Matt Moore is cash viable. Allen Lazard continues to impress.

Jaylen Samuels would be set up for a monster workload if James Conner can’t suit up. At 6-0, 225-pounds, Samuels has the size to handle bell-cow touches. He also has the pass-catching talent with his background as a tight end at N.C. State with a 20.2 (97th-percentile among qualified running backs) College Target Share.

Marvin Jones came back down to Earth against the Giants after flashing his upside against the Vikings in Week 7, but he has a shot at bouncing back this week. He has an incredible ceiling every week due to his eight (No. 3) red zone targets and his 13 (No. 8) Deep Targets. Plus, he has a matchup with Trayvon Mullen, who ranks No. 150 in PlayerProfiler’s cornerback rankings.

Is there a hotter running back in fantasy football right now than Aaron Jones? He has finished as the overall RB1 twice in the last four weeks, averaging 29.3 Fantasy Points Per Game over that span. Jones now leads the NFL in total touchdowns and is behind only Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook in Fantasy Points Per Game among running backs.

Last week was the Mike Evans show with Chris Godwin being to 43 yards on four receptions, but this will be the week Godwin gets back on track against a vulnerable Seattle secondary. The Seahawks have allowed the third most passing yards and were just picked apart for 460 yards by Matt Schaub in Week 8.

Christian Kirk offers stretch-run upside in the form of a stable floor combined with dependable volume in a pass-heavy offense, and he makes a perfect buy-low target for those with playoff aspirations. Given his stable floor, locked-in volume and impending positive TD regression, he’s an ideal target for teams seeking an edge for the playoffs.

Mecole Hardman’s snap percentage bottomed out to a season-low of 16.1 in Week 8, when he ran a mere four routes and saw two targets. Yet he still caught his fourth touchdown of the season and had 55 receiving yards. Capitalize on Hardman’s recent production now and sell high in redraft
