We go position by position in the NFL, with 13 players to target heading into next weekend. Jeff Wilson Jr. , Darnell Mooney, and the Seahawks defense are all solid targets to pick up going into next week.
Jeff Wilson Jr. , RB, Miami DolphinsJeff Wilson Jr. evades a defender against the Chicago Bears.
AP Photo/Charles Rex ArbogastESPN fantasy % rostered: 44. 9%Week 9 stats: 51 rushing yards, 3 receptions, 21 receiving yards, 1 touchdown — 16. 2 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: Jeff Wilson Jr.
was likely dropped in a few leagues after the 49ers traded for Christian McCaffrey, momentarily leaving Wilson without a spot in the offense. But San Francisco made another move, trading Wilson to Miami, where he made an impact in his first game. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel worked with Wilson in San Francisco, so he knows the type of player the running back is and appears ready to use him.
Cordarrelle Patterson, RB, Atlanta FalconsCordarrelle Patterson runs with the ball against the Los Angeles Chargers. AP Photo/Butch DillESPN fantasy % rostered: 83. 3%Week 9 stats: 44 rushing yards, 1 reception, 9 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns — 18.
3 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: Cordarrelle Patterson is still widely owned, but this week was his first game back from a stint on the IR. If your league doesn’t have IR spots to stash injured players, there’s a chance he’s available because someone needed to free up a roster spot and forgot to get him back in the lineup. Always worth double-checking.
Tyler Allgeier, RB, Atlanta FalconsTyler Allgeier reacts after a run against the Los Angeles Chargers. AP Photo/John BazemoreESPN fantasy % rostered: 67. 2%Week 9 stats: 99 rushing yards, 1 reception, 24 receiving yards — 13.
3 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: While the return of Cordarrelle Patterson is certainly a shot to Tyler Allgeier’s fantasy value, it appears that Allgeier did enough in Patterson’s absence to hold on to a role in the Falcons offense. Atlanta runs the ball 33. 5 times per game — more than all but two teams in the NFL.
On Sunday against the Chargers, Allgeier got 10 carries to Patterson’s 13. There’s plenty of attempts to go around in Atlanta. Deon Jackson, RB, Indianapolis ColtsDeon Jackson takes the ball from Sam Ehlinger during a game against the New England Patriots.
AP Photo/Charles KrupaESPN fantasy % rostered: 70%Week 9 stats: 23 rushing yards, 2 receptions, 13 receiving yards — 5. 6 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: Deon Jackson’s workload should see a bit of a bump thanks to the departure of Nyheim Hines from Indianapolis, and should Jonathan Taylor go down with another injury, Jackson has Top 10 fantasy potential later in the season. Week to week he’s likely not the top guy you want in your lineup, but there’s a chance he’s a league-winning player at some point down the line.
Joshua Palmer, WR, Los Angeles ChargersJoshua Palmer runs for extra yards against the Atlanta Falcons. AP Photo/Danny KarnikESPN fantasy % rostered: 67. 3%Week 9 stats: 8 receptions, 106 receiving yards — 18.
6 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: The Chargers receiving corps has been battered by injuries this year, with both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams missing significant time. In their absence, Joshua Palmer has established himself as ready, willing, and able to pick up the load. With 17 catches on 22 targets in his last two games played, Palmer is one of the top targets in an offense capable of putting up quite a lot of points.
Darnell Mooney, WR, Chicago BearsDarnell Mooney reels in a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins. AP Photo/Nam Y. HuhESPN fantasy % rostered: 72.
3%Week 9 stats: 7 receptions, 43 receiving yards, 1 touchdown — 17. 5 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: At the start of the season, Darnell Mooney was a player with a lot of potential but little value as the Bears refused to throw the ball. Now that Chicago appears to be opening up the playbook a bit for quarterback Justin Fields, Mooney has a shot at putting up some big numbers.
Terrace Marshall Jr. , WR, Carolina PanthersTerrace Marshall Jr. fights through a tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals.
AP Photo/Joshua A. BickelESPN fantasy % rostered: 8%Week 9 stats: 3 receptions, 53 receiving yards, 1 touchdown — 14. 3 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: It’s tough to back fantasy players that play in bad offenses, but Terrace Marshall Jr.
has now scored double-digit fantasy points in two straight weeks with two different quarterbacks playing snaps for Carolina. Chris Moore, WR, Houston TexansChris Moore reaches for a touchdown catch against the Philadelphia Eagles. AP Photo/Tony GutierrezESPN fantasy % rostered: 0.
2%Week 9 stats: 4 receptions, 43 receiving yards, 1 touchdown — 14. 5 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: Again, it’s never fun to take fantasy players on bad NFL offenses, but with Brandin Cooks seemingly frustrated with the Texans, there are going to be receptions to go around, and Chris Moore could be the beneficiary. Cole Kmet, TE, Chicago BearsCole Kmet celebrates a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins.
AP Photo/Charles Rex ArbogastESPN fantasy % rostered: 27. 3%Week 9 stats: 5 receptions, 41 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns — 22 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: The Bears offense looked better than it has in years on Sunday. If Chicago is going to finally start scoring some touchdowns, tight end Cole Kmet is going to be a valuable red-zone target.
Greg Dulcich, TE, Denver BroncosGreg Dulcich celebrates a touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers. AP Photo/Mark J. TerrillESPN fantasy % rostered: 29.
5%Week 9 stats: N/AOne thing to know: The Denver Broncos were on bye last week, so this is just a reminder to pick up tight end Greg Dulcich. While he didn’t make his first start until a few weeks into the season, Dulcich immediately established himself as one of the most important pieces of a Broncos offense looking for a spark, scoring at least 11 fantasy points in all three of his starts so far this year. Justin Fields, QB, Chicago BearsJustin Fields runs with the ball against the Miami Dolphins.
AP Photo/Charles Rex ArbogastESPN fantasy % rostered: 46. 8%Week 9 stats: 123 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 178 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown — 42. 7 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: For a year and a half, the brains behind the Chicago offense held Justin Fields back.
Just a few weeks into finally realizing, hey, maybe it’s a good idea to let this guy run a bit, he broke the record for rushing yards by a quarterback in a single game. Given the extra value of dual-threat quarterbacks in fantasy, Fields could be a top player if the Bears remain committed to letting him make plays with his feet. Arizona Cardinals defenseKyler Murray is tackled by the Seattle Seahawks defense.
AP Photo/Matt YorkESPN fantasy % rostered: 11. 2%Week 9 stats: 1 touchdown, 1 interception, 2 sacks, 31 points against — 6 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: The Cardinals defense has scored four touchdowns in their past four games. Next week they go up against a Rams team that finds itself in a tailspin, having lost four of their past five games, scoring 14 points or fewer in all four of those losses.
Seattle Seahawks defenseIsaiah Simmons celebrates a sack of Geno Smith. AP Photo/Ross D. FranklinESPN fantasy % rostered: 25.
1%Week 9 stats: 1 fumble recovery, 5 sacks, 15 points against — 10 fantasy pointsOne thing to know: The Seahawks were one of the worst offenses in the NFL at the start of the year, but they’ve found something over the past few weeks, holding their past four opponents to an average of just 13. 0 points per game.
