Fantasy Football 2018: 10 matchups to attack in Week 9
By Dylan Broady
Welcome to Top 10 matchups to attack for Week 9 of your NFL season. Hopefully last week went well. We will dive into the best matchups Week 9 has to offer.
Let’s start by recapping Week 8.
Adam Thielen broke an NFL record with his eighth straight game of 100 receiving yards or more. James Conner has worked wonders for the Pittsburgh Steelers as he racked up 212 total yards from scrimmage, along with two rushing touchdowns against the Cleveland Browns.
The Chicago Bears defense accounted for only one sack against the New York Jets but allowed a mere 10 points to the Jets offense. Kareem Hunt continued to roll against the rival Denver Broncos in Week 8. Hunt rushed for 50 yards and added 36 receiving yards and a touchdown.
James White accounted for 94 total yards of offense and a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills stout defense. White has proven he is a lethal weapon for the New England Patriots offense. Antonio Brown continued to do Antonio Brown things against the Cleveland Browns, catching six balls for 74 yards and two touchdowns.
Hopefully everyone had a share of these top performers in Week 8. We will continue to look ahead as usual and see what Week 9 has to offer. Just as a reminder the following teams will be on bye for Week 9: Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals, Philadelphia Eagles, and the New York Giants.
We will always look for high volume amongst our best matchups. As we know, matchups can betray you. So let’s dive in and see what Top 10 matchups we need to attack for Week 9.
We are going to change things up a little bit this week and organize by position. We will give two players from each skill position — wide receiver, running back, tight end, and two quarterbacks — and we will give you two flex players. So that way we can maximize the skill position to give you a little extra flavor.
