Value Picks for NFL Week 9: What You Need to Know

Are you ready to tackle NFL Week 9? If you're into Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS), you need to know who's hot and who's not. Let's dive into some value players who could break the slate wide open. Remember, we're not building rosters here, just spotting bargains who might outperform their prices. First up, the quarterbacks. Bo Nix of the Denver Broncos has been on fire, with four QB1 performances in a row. He's not just throwing touchdowns—he's rushing too. This week, he faces the Ravens, who aren't too tough on QBs. If the game turns into a shootout, as expected, Nix could light up the scoreboard. He's a great pick for tournaments. Kirk Cousins over at the Atlanta Falcons is another interesting option. He's had some good games, some not so good—you know, that "duality" thing. But this week, he's facing the Dallas Cowboys, who've been struggling against passing attacks. So, who knows? Maybe it'll be a good Cousins day. He's a decent bet for both big tourneys and cash games. Over on the running backs' side, De'Von Achane is worth a look. Since Tua Tagovailoa started playing, Achane's been racking up points. And the Buffalo Bills have been generous with fantasy points to running backs. Achane's looking like a solid pick for both tourneys and cash games.D’Andre Swift from the Chicago Bears has been hot lately too. Since Week 4, he's been an RB1. This week, he's facing the Arizona Cardinals, who aren't great against running backs. Though Swift's salary isn't the best for his projected production, he's still worth a shot in tournaments. Now let's talk receivers. Chris Olave from the New Orleans Saints is interesting. With Derek Carr back and Rashid Shaheed out, Olave's likely to get a lot of targets. The Carolina Panthers aren't great against receivers, so Olave could have a big game. He's a solid WR2 with even WR1 potential. Romeo Doubs from the Green Bay Packers is also looking good. With Jordan Love expected to play, Doubs should see a lot of action. The Lions haven't been great against receivers either, so this game could be a scoring fest. Doubs is a strong pick for tournaments. Tight ends are usually a gamble, but Jake Ferguson of the Dallas Cowboys and Taysom Hill of the New Orleans Saints could pay off. Both have good matchups, with Ferguson facing the Falcons and Hill the Panthers. Ferguson's looking to break his touchdown drought, and Hill always brings a lot to the table. They're both good for tournaments. So there you have it—some value picks for Week 9. Remember, DFS is all about spotting the right bargains. Good luck!
