Fantasy Football 2019 Week 9 Waiver Wire Picks
By Bill Pivetz
Chris Conley, JAX
Conley is one of those receivers that Minshew relies on. He topped 20 points for the first time since week 1. With the Texans likely focusing on Dede Westbrook and DJ Chark, Conley should see some space across the middle of the field this week.
Demaryius Thomas, NYJ
Thomas has recorded at least four targets and three receptions over the last four weeks. While he has yet to score a touchdown, it’s obvious that Sam Darnold is looking his way. The Jets may finally have things go their way as they face the Dolphins.
Thomas may also see a boost in value if the Jets find a partner in a Robby Anderson trade. That will leave Jamison Crowder and Thomas as the top receivers for the Jets.
Russell Gage, ATL
Gage had the best game of his career last week when he caught seven passes for 58 yards. When Matt Schaub wasn’t looking at Jones, he was looking Gage’s way.
The team may not be having their best season but things can only go up. He is the No. 4 option in the passing game, after Jones, Calvin Ridley and Hooper. Whether Ryan or Schaub is under center, I expect the Falcons to use Gage more in the second half of the season.
