The Latest Fantastic Performances in Fantasy Football Week 9
Derrick Henry Continues to Lead the Ravens’ Dominance
Derrick Henry has been instrumental in Baltimore’s offensive success this season. In Week 9, he added two more touchdowns to his already impressive tally, pushing him over 100 career rushing scores. The 30-year-old running back continues his dominance, currently ranked third among running backs in fantasy football points (25.8). With a strong offensive infrastructure and a partnership with quarterback Lamar Jackson, Henry is proving to be a formidable presence in the NFL.
Henry’s production has not only been impressive in terms of yards and touchdowns but also his consistency. He is scoring in each of his nine games this season, making him a solid choice for fantasy managers. His reliability makes him a top pick, especially for those delving into the middle of the season where Henry’s performance often trumps.
A Payday for Moreau and an Upset for Raiders
Beyond Henry’s shining performance, the Dolphins’ De’Von Achane emerges as an exciting breakout star. Achane recorded 28.1 fantasy points in Week 9, with 121 yards and two touchdowns. The young back has shown the ability to handle an extensive workload, giving Miami’s offense a multitude of options to exploit.
QB Week 9 Standouts
Joe Burrow secured five touchdowns against the Raiders in Week 9, proving his value to his fantasy football managers. Mike Gesicki also secured a crucial two-point performance, making him a tight-end sleeper option for those who aren’t afraid to explore.
However, weeks like these are not uncommon in fantasy football. Josh Allen’s unexpected bonanza highlighted the unpredictability of the position. Allen’s three touchdown passes dispensed to the then unheard-of trio of players — Ray Davis, Mack Hollins, and Quintin Morris — showcased the ability of backups to be involved.
A Cautionary Tale: The Struggles of Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill
In the Saints’ loss to Carolina Panthers, Alvin Kamara managed a substantial workload with 29 rushes and six catches, totaling 215 yards. Despite his best efforts, his performance was overshadowed by the absence of other replacements. Taysom Hill’s touchdown catch only brought partial solace to Kamara’s managers.
Reflections on De’Von Achane and Taysom Hill
De’Von Achane’s 121 yards and two touchdowns are significant but not surprising. Miami has shifted its focus towards younger backs, giving Achane a large role in the offense. The 20-year-old’s 20 hands and 121 yards illustrate Miami’s growing belief in his ability. While Kamara shoulders much of the burden, faces severe downtimes and expenses, Hill and other players like Chris Manhertz have to mind this waist seam gap emerging eventually.
