Fantasy football: FanDuel NFL 2020 best lineup for Week 9
By Nick Villano
Wide Receiver-Corey Davis $6,000
Corey Davis has been circling the “really good receiver” box all season. However, he has trouble staying healthy. Last week, he was as good as he looked all season, catching eight balls for 128 yards and a touchdown. This was even from a bad game overall from Ryan Tannehill. The Cincinnati Bengals defense isn’t good, so that skews things, but Davis is still having a good season overall.
The former fifth-overall pick now has two 100-yard games in five where he was actually active. With Henry and A.J. Brown taking up most of the defense’s focus, Davis could get a lot of looks. Tannehill isn’t scared to look off his first option, so Davis is getting some serious play.
The Chicago Bears have been good against wide receivers this season. They allowed just 22 points per game. However, the Bears are in a very strange spot after a weird loss to the Saints. The Bears are still starting Nick Foles, but he hasn’t been very good. They could go back to Mitch Trubisky, who really isn’t good. This could lead to shorter fields for Tannehill and the Titans. This could put Davis in the red zone.
This is obviously a risk, but that’s mostly because of the defense and not the player. Davis has looked good when healthy this season. He comes into this game as a legitimate fantasy target.
Other Low-Cost Options: Darius Slayton $5,900, Marquis Brown $5,800
