NFL Picks
Week 9 is here, and it’s the perfect time to shake up your lineups with fresh PrizePicks projections. Each matchup this week presents new opportunities, giving you plenty of options to create a lineup with real impact. Here are the top players to consider for that competitive edge this weekend.
James Conner (RB, ARZ)
Fantasy Score (Standard) — MORE
PrizePicks: 14.5
Fantasy Points: 17.54
Fantasy Points has been KILLING IT when it comes to accuracy this season for fantasy points projections. Conner is up against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. Conner has toted the rock over 15 times in all but two games so far and has seen 3 or more targets in each of the last four weeks. The Bears are a solid defense against RBs, but there should be several scoring chances for Conner throughout the game to really break through his projection.
Bo Nix (QB, DEN)
Fantasy Score (Standard) — MORE
PrizePicks: 15.0
Fantasy Points: 17.34
Nix looks like he is starting to piece it together. He has gone for 23.1, 21.7. 14.1, and 29.8 fantasy points over the last four weeks with only 1 interception and 9 total touchdowns. Baltimore is allowing 4.4 more fantasy points per game to the QB position (4th highest). I will just show you what the biggest Ravens fan I know thinks of this defense.

Ravens defense is going to cost us everything Lamar has to be perfect or we are fucked

Travis Kelce (TE, KC)
Fantasy Score (Standard) — MORE
PrizePicks: 13.5
Fantasy Points: 16.54
Over the last five weeks, only the Jaguars have given up more schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kelce and the Chiefs just torched the Raiders and he has scored more than his projection in three of the last matchups with only 1 touchdown. BONUS: Kansas City is giving up points to the TE position, too. I like the MORE on Cade Otton’s 11.5 Fantasy Score projection, too.
Jayden Daniels (QB, WAS)
Pass+Rush Yards (Standard) — MORE
PrizePicks: 281.5
Fantasy Points: 292.6
Aside from getting banged up in Week 7, Daniels has been a godsend for late-round QB drafters. 378, 291, 320, 280, and 293 have been his combined yardage totals since the last time the Giants and Commanders played each other in Week 2. Look for a much better performance this time around when Daniels only accounted for 270 yards in his 2nd career game and had yet to establish the same chemistry with Terry McLaurin (22 yards in Week 2, since averaging 88.4 yards per game with Daniels at QB).
Malik Nabers (WR, NYG)
Receiving Yards (Standard) — MORE
PrizePicks: 72.5
Fantasy Points: 82.9
What a coming-out party Week 2 was for Nabers against the Commanders with 18 targets and 127 yards. If Nabers had not suffered the concussion late in the Dallas game in Week 4, this projection would be much higher. We will see if Nabers and Daniel Jones can get on the same page for some deep shots in Week 9, but Nabers’ volume alone should push him over the projection.
Additional Picks
Looking for some other options for the week?
Cedric Tillman (WR, CLE)
Receiving Yards (Demon) — MORE
PrizePicks: 59.5
Fantasy Points: 63.6
What a ride Tillman has been on since Jameis Winston has been thrust into the QB1 role for the Browns and Amari Cooper was shipped to Buffalo. He is playing over 80% of the snaps and has seen 21 targets for 180 yards. The Chargers are a tough passing defense (top 10), but I think the TRUE league-winning waiver pickup has emerged this season on the banks of Lake Erie.
Matthew Stafford (QB, LA)
Pass Yards (Goblin) — MORE
PrizePicks: 199.5
Fantasy Points: 258.6
Stafford looked so good after getting back Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua last week against a good Vikings defense, throwing for 279 yards. Even with the injuries to his primary targets, Stafford has only been below this projection once this season. Nacua is a little banged up again this week, but it shouldn’t matter against the Seahawks.
Alvin Kamara (RB, NO)
Rush Yards (Demon) — MORE
PrizePicks: 79.5
Fantasy Points: 85.7
After starting off at a blistering pace, Kamara hasn't cracked 70 rush yards in a game since Week 4. Can he get right with another game against the Panthers after rushing for 83 yards in Week 1 while only playing 52% of the snaps? This Panthers run defense is the worst in the league and averages giving up 154.6 yards per game.
