FanDuel NFL: Best Lineup for Week 9
By Jon Dove
FLEX: Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons
@Washington Redskins, Sunday 1:00pm
FanDuel Cost: $8,500
This is the week that Julio Jones finally finds the end zone. It’s amazing to see such a talented playmaker hit this point in the season without a touchdown. What’s even more shocking is the amount of catches he has on the year without finding the end zone.
The problem for Jones is that Matt Ryan isn’t going to force the ball his way. He has other solid pass catching options that are taking advantage to the extra attention Jones draws. However, it’s only a matter of time before Jones breaks out of his touchdown drought.
Backup Option: Kareem Hunt, Kansas City Chiefs
@ Cleveland Browns, Sunday 1:00pm
FanDuel Cost: $8,500
The breakout season for Patrick Mahomes has taken some of the spotlight away from Kareem Hunt. It has also taken away more than a few carries. However, Hunt is starting to round into form and seeing more targets.
He especially is becoming more involved in the passing game which was a strength of his last year. This week the Kansas City Chiefs face a Cleveland Browns defense that just surrendered 212 total yards to James Connor.
It could be a big week for Hunt and someone capable pushing you over the top in fanduel.
