Trashman’s Week 9 Garbage Grab

Trashman’s Garbage Grab: Week 9

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, these are the best options available in ⅓ or more of fantasy leagues going into Week 9. Hold your nose and take a peak…

 

Running Back

Isiah Pacheco – 31% rostered

Pacheco was named the starter in KC before heading into the Wk 8 bye, and though the matchup with Tennessee isn’t ideal, he’s averaging 4.9 YPC and should get enough touches to flex him in PPR formats.  

 

Dontrell Hilliard – 16% rostered

Hilliard has been surprisingly effective in stints this season, in fact he’s scored double-digit fantasy points in 2 of his last 3 games. If Ryan Tannehill is under center this week, he traveled with the team to KC, Hilliard should see considerable action in the passing game against a Chiefs team that can put up a ton of  offense. 

 

Wide Receiver

Elijah Moore – 32% rostered

There’s no Corey Davis this week, so Moore gets some juice this week against a Buffalo team that covers the deep ball well. Expect Moore to get enough action underneath to use him in fantasy. 

 

Zay Jones, Jaguars – 23% rostered

Jones plays more snaps than most NFL receivers – he’s in the top 10, and this week he gets a revenge spot against the Raiders. If there’s a week to take a chance on him, it’s this one. 

 

Jarvis Landry, Saints – 17% rostered

Landry is in line to see his first action since Wk 4. He’s the perfect receiving option for Andy Dalton, who’s more of a small ball type QB than Jameis Winston. If Landry goes, he should see plenty of targets. 

 

Tight End

Isaiah Likely, Ravens – 35% rostered

Likely is likely to make the start in Mark Andrews stead, as Andrews missed Saturday practice. It’s not the best matchup – The Ravens play New Orleans, but Likely should see enough targets to warrant streaming him where you need him. 

 

Quarterback

Andy Dalton, Saints – 14% rostered

Dalton has been fantasy worthy the last two weeks, and things shouldn’t be any different in Wk 9 against Baltimore. The Ravens are a top 10 matchup for opposing QBs, and Dalton could be getting Jarvis Landry back in the receiving corps. He’s a safe play.

  1. I need some upside. Worth starting Toney over Curtis Samuel?

    Full point PPR need a running back and 2 flex from the following

    Garrett Wilson
    Romeo Doubs
    Cam Akers

    1. Jackson, Drake, and Doubs

    Likely @NO or Tonyan vs DET?

    Pick 2 WR:
    Palmer @ATL
    Mooney vs. MIA
