Fantasy Football picks: Five bounce back players for Week 9

Chris Godwin – It has been a great season for Chris after he was one of the biggest fantasy prospects coming into this year, delivering in a big way for those who drafted him. As a result of this production, Godwin is now priced above 8k on FanDuel which is officially stud receiver status. The Titans were able to slow him down, and keep him under 50 receiving yards for the first time all year, and no touchdowns. Before that game, he had three straight games of more than 100 yards, and four touchdowns. He is averaging around ten targets per game also, and is in line for well over 1,000 yards if he keeps up this pace.

This is not a good individual match-up by any stretch of the imagination, as Seattle is ranked 22nd in fantasy points against wide receivers, and 16th in DVOA against the pass. on the positive side, he has another great receiver on the opposite side of him in Mike Evans, who can take some of the pressure off of Godwin. This game has a sneaky high point total, and if the Seahawks are putting up some big points, than Tampa will be required to score as many points as possible. That means they will be passing, as I predict their rushing attack to get stopped. As long as he gets his usual workload, Godwin is a great candidate to bounce back.
