Fantasy football week 9 recap: Studs, duds, and sleepers

WR Sleepers

Cole Beasley-Dallas Cowboys: Beasley had the second-most fantasy points of the week in standard scoring behind only Antonio Brown.  He finished with 112 yards on his nine catches and joined Michael Crabtree as the only wide receivers with more than one touchdown catch.

Allen Hurns-Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jags have a pair of young WR with plenty of upside in Hurns and Allen Robinson.  Hurns has found the end zone in six straight games dating all the way back to week 3.  He caught five passes for 122 yards against the Jets and continues to be one of the best under-the-radar options on a weekly basis.

Devin Funchess-Carolina Panthers: Funchess has had a huge opportunity this season with the Panthers need at WR, but until this week he hadn’t risen to the challenge.  He posted his best week of the season catching three passes for 71 yards and a touchdown.  HE is still a high-risk gamble at this point, but this week was definitely a good first step for the former Michigan star.

Bryan Walters-Jacksonville Jaguars: Walters is firmly entrenched as the Jaguars third WR and has three games with at least 50 yards in his last four contests.  He hauled in his first touchdown of the season this week against the Jets finishing with five catches for 54 yards.

Davante Adams-Green Bay Packers: Adams led the Packers with seven catches and has passes James Jones in the target-hierarchy as well.  He was the Packers second WR before an ankle injury sidelined him, but he looked like he was back in that role and ready to contribute in week 9 going for 93 yards on those seven catches.

Brandon LaFell-New England Patriots: LaFell made up for his drop-filled debut with a big game against Washington in week 9.  He was targeted nine times and hauled in five passes for 102 yards as he continues to reemerge as the Patriots second WR option.
