The fantasy football Week 9 schedule is here and some start or sit picks, sleeper picks and players to pick up include DeAngelo Williams, Michael Vick, Carlos Hyde, Mike Evans, Jonas Gray, Odell Beckham, Luke Wilson, Andrew Hawkins, Brandin Cooks and Andre Williams, as those names have solid matchups and the chance to step up in the coming weeks.
Williams looks like he is set to return from injury and that is good news for fantasy owners, as he has been banged up this season for the Panthers. Williams has been up and down this season, but for fantasy owners in need of an RB after Stevan Ridley and CJ Spiller were injured, Williams is not a bad option. Michael Vick and the Jets have not given anyone a reason to rely on them, but for people with QBs in byes like Matthew Stafford or injured like RG3, he could be worth a start for one game, even if it's against the Chiefs. It's more about need and not about it being a great option.
Brandin Cooks has been back and forth as a rookie, but he had a strong game this weekend and has shown that he can put up starter numbers. The Saints always put up points and he could be a player that gets into the endzone after scoring last week. Odell Beckham plays on Monday night football and that could be a boost late in the week for fantasy owners. Beckham has a TD for each game he has played this season and while he has not scored in every game, he has shown Eli Manning that he can trust him in the red zone and on the field now that Victor Cruz is done for the season.
Vick and the Jets are obviously a mess, but with things going so badly, he is worth a look and he could be an option for fantasy owners in need of some help. Vick did not look good against the Bills, but he will be starting against the Chiefs and could be a solid starter. Beckham has become a favorite target for Eli Manning and with Victor Cruz out he will be a main option on Sunday.
Mike Evans is a strong start option, as he has played well over the past few weeks and he comes in with four catches and 78 yards to lead the team last week. Evans has had at least four catches in each of the last five games and could be a solid player Sunday. Hawkins has stepped up for the Browns in the absence of Josh Gordon and he is a good option, as he comes in with seven catches for 88 yards and led Cleveland last week.
The fantasy football Week 9 schedule is here and some TE names to start or sit for the weekend include Jimmy Graham, Owen Daniels, Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, Clay Harbor, Jason Witten, Charles Clay, Gavin Escobar, Jared Cook and Coby Fleener, as some of those players have the chance to step up with their teams dealing with injuries, while other tight ends have great matchups to look forward to. Vincent Jackson, Mike Glennon and Doug Martin were all mentioned in trade rumors and fantasy football owners should be aware that those names could be targets for teams after the season and that could affect how they perform the rest of the way.
