Fantasy Football picks: Five bounce back players for Week 9

Fantasy Football picks: Five bounce back players for Week 9

Kirk Cousins – After three straight weeks where Cousins lit the world on fire, he put up a dud against the Redskins. He did put up a crazy 88% completion rate, but failed to score any touchdowns which were what led to the sub-par performance. Before that he had ten scores, and over 300 yards in those three games. This week he has a match-up with the Chiefs in a game that might possibly be the highest scoring game on the week. This is a great bounce back spot because he will need to be on his best performance in order to keep this game competitive.

Kansas City gives up the 14th most points to opposing quarterbacks, and while they are much worse against the rush, they are still susceptible to the pass. I am sure Dalvin Cook will be in a feature role once again since he continues to dominate defenses, which will open up some passing lanes for these receivers, and in turn help Cousins and his production. I expect his passing attempts to reach at least 30 once again, if not 40 attempts. While that is a very bold prediction, I think that he has some great upside if he continues his high completion rate, the touchdowns will come.
