Fantasy Football 2019 Week 9 Waiver Wire Picks
By Bill Pivetz
Ryan Tannehill, TEN
Tannehill took over for Marcus Mariota in the middle of their week 6 game and has looked good since. While he did throw less than 200 yards, Tannehill had three touchdowns, bringing in his TD-INT ratio to 5-2.
He is targeting all of his skill players, giving them a boost in value. Tannehill and the Titans face the Panthers in week 9. We saw the Carolina defense get run over by Tevin Coleman and company. If you have one those quarterbacks on bye, Tannehill is a solid substitute.
Daniel Jones, NYG
After having three bad games between weeks 5 and 7, Jones came back with a solid performance last week. He completed 68.8 percent of his passes for 322 yards and four touchdowns.
The Giants receiving corps has been banged up this season but Jones is still putting up points. He and the Giants face the Cowboys at home next week. That’s a defense that has been up and down this season.
Gardner Minshew, JAX
I can’t believe Minshew is still owned in less than 50 percent of leagues. He has scored less than 16 points just once this season, 4.6 points in week 6. Minshew has thrown multiple touchdowns in five games, including his three from last week.
Minshew is keeping this Jaguars offense balanced with his young receivers and Leonard Fournette running the ball. The Texans defense has allowed an average of 21 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
