DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Helper for Week 9
Wide Receivers
High-Cost Option: Antonio Brown ($8,900)
If Ben Roethlisberger returns this week as expected, it raises the ceiling of Antonio Brown and the entire Pittsburgh Steelers' passing attack. The Baltimore Ravens secondary has given up the most receiving touchdowns and sixth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Brown will likely run most of his routes against Jimmy Smith and Will Davis, two cornerbacks who have struggled in coverage. Averaging 10.7 targets per game, Brown has a terrific floor with an immense multi-touchdown ceiling this week against the Ravens' soft secondary.
Mid-Cost Option: Donte Moncrief ($5,800)
Priced at just $5,800, Donte Moncrief looks like one of the biggest value plays of the week. In his first game back with the Colts, he garnered nine targets and caught a touchdown. That could become a weekly routine in this offense for Moncrief, starting this week in the anticipated shootout with Green Bay. Moncrief should run most of his routes against Ladarius Gunter, an undrafted free agent from 2015 who has been elevated to the top of the depth chart out of necessity. Six different receivers have scored 15-plus fantasy points against the Packers, and Green Bay has allowed the sixth-most receiving touchdowns to opposing wideouts. In his two full games played this season Moncrief led the Colts in snaps and scored a touchdown in each game.
Low-Cost Option: Kenny Britt ($4,400)
The Carolina Panthers have been lit up against opposing receivers, allowing the seventh-most receiving yards, eighth-most receiving touchdowns, and fourth-most fantasy points. Britt has seen eight targets in back-to-back weeks collecting a total of 10 receptions for 179 yards and 2 scores. He draws a favorable matchup against Daryl Worley. Britt's a volatile player, but he's in a prime spot to perform this week in a game where the Los Angeles Rams are three-point home underdogs.
Other Options: Brandon Marshall ($7,300), Kelvin Benjamin ($6,800), Stefon Diggs ($5,900), Davante Adams ($5,900), Jordan Matthews ($5,700), Michael Thomas ($5,500), Kenny Stills ($3,900)
