Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Jason Campbell | vs. Falcons | 175 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Clinton Portis | 65 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 10 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Ladell Betts | 15 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Santana Moss | 5 recs, 77 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Devin Thomas | 2 recs, 23 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Antwaan Randle El | 2 recs, 17 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Fred Davis | 2 recs, 14 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Matt Ryan | vs. Redskins | 270 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Michael Turner | 80 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 5 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Jason Snelling | 25 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Roddy White | 5 recs, 88 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Michael Jenkins | 2 recs, 18 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Brian Finneran | 0 recs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Tony Gonzalez | 5 recs, 84 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Falcons Notes:
Michael Turner – Turner may have started slow, possibly due to the 370 carry curse, but he looked back to form in Week 8. Expect more of the same in Week 9.
Roddy White – Top 10WR moving forward.

Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Kurt Warner | vs. Bears | 222 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 2 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Chris Wells | 45 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Timothy Hightower | 40 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Larry Fitzgerald | 5 recs, 73 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Steve Breaston | 4 recs, 42 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Ben Patrick | 1 recs, 8 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Cardinals Notes:
Kurt Warner – Warner is sharp one game, but then comes a bad outing. The Bears D looked better in Week 8 so the Cards might turn the ball over a couple times in this one.
Chris Wells – Again, once he gets starter carries, watch out!
Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Jay Cutler | vs. Cardinals | 258 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Matt Forte | 101 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 32 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Garrett Wolfe | 10 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Devin Hester | 5 recs, 70 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Earl Bennett | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Johnny Knox | 4 recs, 54 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | TE Greg Olsen | 4 recs, 43 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Bears Notes:
Matt Forte – Forte was our buy-low favorite last week, well and the week before that, but he finally delivered in Week 8. Expect Forte to continue his solid play. He looked good last Sunday.

Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Joe Flacco | vs. Bengals | 225 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Ray Rice | 95 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Willis McGahee | 15 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Derrick Mason | 4 recs, 55 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Mark Clayton | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Kelley Washington | 3 recs, 33 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Todd Heap | 1 recs, 7 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Ravens Notes:
Ray Rice – Rice has to be considered a top 10RB – Of course we warned everyone of that before the season started, but if you doubted him, you better start believing.
Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Carson Palmer | vs. Ravens | 220 pass yds, 0 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Cedric Benson | 43 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 4 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Bernard Scott | 9 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Chad Ochocinco | 4 recs, 44 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Chris Henry | 2 recs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE John Paul Foschi | 0 recs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Bengals Notes:
Cedric Benson – Benson has been on fire, but here comes an off week.
[ Back to Top ]
Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Matt Schaub | vs. Colts | 300 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Ryan Moats | 65 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 17 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Steve Slaton | 40 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Andre Johnson | 5 recs, 80 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Kevin Walter | 3 recs, 33 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Andre Davis | 2 recs, 20 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE James Casey | 1 recs, 7 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Texans Notes:
Matt Schaub – Schaub had an off week in Week 8, but he is still a top 5 fantasy QB moving forward.
Ryan Moats – We said sell-high in the Week 8 projections – hopefully you did. If not, grab Moats if you can. Moats will be the hottest waiver wire grab this week. If you own Slaton and do not have that top spot for pick ups this week, consider trading for the pick or setting up a deal that sends a player packing for Moats.
Steve Slaton – Moats could be taking over, or he will at least start off getting a huge amount of carries. It is time to panic if you own Slaton.
James Casey – Monitor the health of Owen Daniels.
Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Peyton Manning | vs. Texans | 300 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Joseph Addai | 65 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Donald Brown | 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Reggie Wayne | 6 recs, 90 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Pierre Garcon | 2 recs, 20 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Austin Collie | 2 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Dallas Clark | 4 recs, 39 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Colts Notes:
Peyton Manning – Buy-low. He wont be cheap, but now might be the time to make some 2-for-1 offers, like a lesser QB that is playing well with another player for Manning.
Donald Brown – Out for possibly a couple of weeks.
Reggie Wayne – Wayne is arguably the best fantasy WR moving forward.
Pierre Garcon – Gonzo could be returning soon.

Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Matt Cassel | vs. Jaguars | 200 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Jamaal Charles | 65 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 45 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Kolby Smith | 22 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Dwayne Bowe | 4 recs, 55 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Mark Bradley | 2 recs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Bobby Wade | 3 recs, 32 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Sean Ryan | 1 recs, 7 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Chiefs Notes:
Jamaal Charles – Charles could prove to be a solid player moving forward, but because the Chiefs are so bad at times, he will likely be inconsistent.
Kolby Smith – LJ is out and may never carry the football again for the Chiefs.
Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB David Garrard | vs. Chiefs | 200 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Maurice Jones-Drew | 125 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 20 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | RB Rashad Jennings | 16 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Mike Sims-Walker | 5 recs, 99 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Torry Holt | 3 recs, 39 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Mike Thomas | 1 recs, 18 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Marcedes Lewis | 1 recs, 6 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Jaguars Notes:
Maurice Jones-Drew – We were wrong last week when we called MJD a top 5 overall player heading into Weeks 8-16. We should have said top 3.
[ Back to Top ]
Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Aaron Rodgers | vs. Buccaneers | 305 pass yds, 3 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Ryan Grant | 42 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 7 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Brandon Jackson | 10 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Greg Jennings | 6 recs, 88 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Donald Driver | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR James Jones | 2 recs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Donald Lee | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Packers Notes:
Aaron Rodgers – Rodgers will have his day.
Greg Jennings – Should be strong from here on out.
Donald Driver – Solid fantasy WR3 for Weeks 9-16.
Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Josh Freeman | vs. Packers | 200 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Cadillac Williams | 55 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Derrick Ward | 35 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Sammie Stroughter | 2 recs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Brian Clark | 2 recs, 17 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Kellen Winslow | 4 recs, 49 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Buccaneers Notes:
Cadillac Williams – Tough to count on him, but he can play well when the carries are there. The problem is, will he get the carries, or will Ward get them? Or will the team be playing from behind, thus not running the ball much?

Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Chad Henne | vs. Patriots | 200 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Ronnie Brown | 80 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 10 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Ricky Williams | 55 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Ted Ginn | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Greg Camarillo | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Davone Bess | 2 recs, 12 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Anthony Fasano | 3 recs, 25 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Dolphins Notes:
Ronnie Brown – Buy-low.
Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Tom Brady | vs. Dolphins | 320 pass yds, 4 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Laurence Maroney | 45 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Kevin Faulk | 33 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Randy Moss | 6 recs, 90 rec yds, 2 rec TDs | WR Wes Welker | 7 recs, 90 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Sam Aiken | 4 recs, 49 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | TE Benjamin Watson | 2 recs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Patriots Notes:
Tom Brady – Brady will show why he is still a good buy-low player heading into Week 9. After Week 9, Brady might cost way too much to trade for.
Randy Moss – The New England offense is back to elite and the Week 8 bye will only have the unit looking better than ever.

Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |

Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Matthew Stafford | vs. Seahawks | 188 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Kevin Smith | 45 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 10 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Maurice Morris | 34 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 12 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Calvin Johnson | 4 recs, 60 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Dennis Northcutt | 2 recs, 20 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Bryant Johnson | 3 recs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Brandon Pettigrew | 1 recs, 6 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Nate Burleson | 3 recs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Lions Notes:
Matthew Stafford – Monitor his health all week, but he is expected to play.

Houshmandzadeh | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Deion Branch | 3 recs, 35 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE John Carlson | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Seahawks Notes:
Edgerrin James – Forsett could eventually start – Grab him in deep leagues.

Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Philip Rivers | vs. Giants | 244 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Darren Sproles | 40 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Vincent Jackson | 5 recs, 70 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Malcom Floyd | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Malcom Floyd | 2 recs, 15 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Antonio Gates | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |

LeSean McCoy – Westy expected to play, which hurts McCoy-only owners.
DeSean Jackson – Stud.

Player | Match-Up | Week 9 Projections |
QB Ben Roethlisberger | vs. Broncos | 255 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Rashard Mendenhall | 65 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 12 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Willie Parker | 34 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Santonio Holmes | 4 recs, 55 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Hines Ward | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Mike Wallace | 3 recs, 35 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Heath Miller | 3 recs, 33 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Steelers Notes:
Santonio Holmes – A good buy-low WR.
Hines Ward – Ward is playing solid football. Look for it to continue.
Mike Wallace – Should be owned in all larger dynasty formats.

Broncos Notes:
Knowshon Moreno – Fumbling last week did not help his playing time. Moreno is still a potential stud for the future, though, and he still might dominate down the stretch… he just needs the touches.
Eddie Royal – A good buy-low fantasy WR3, but buy him at the cost of a fantasy WR4, because he can currently be had that cheap.
