    Week 9 Preview: Rankings, Smash/Crash Spots, Injuries, Start/Sit & More!

    📋 Week 9 is here. We’re breaking down fantasy football rankings, the smash spots and crash spots at every position, hitting the injuries that could wreck your lineup, and going rapid-fire on the start/sit calls you’re still sweating. Kendall and Pete go through the top 12 quarterbacks, top 24 running backs, top 24 receivers and top 12 tight ends, then get into the spots that actually decide your week — Brock Purdy in a smash spot with Bryce Young in a crash spot, Quinshon Judkins and Chase Brown at running back with a warning on Tyler Allgeier, Nico Collins plus both Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison at receiver with Tetairoa McMillan on the other side, and both sides of tight end with Greg Dulcich smashing and Dalton Kincaid crashing. Then the Week 9 injury report, which is really a quarterback report. Sam Darnold is out with a quad injury, so is Drew Lock a downgrade for Seattle or basically neutral? Deshaun Watson is in concussion protocol, which means figuring out how the young Browns pass catchers do with Shedeur Sanders. Breece Hall is expected back while Garrett Wilson enters concussion protocol, so how do you approach the Jets against Kansas City? And Cam Skattebo is day-to-day, which raises whether Devin Singletary becomes a must-start. Then a rapid-fire start/sit round on Drew Lock, Ashton Jeanty, Rachaad White, Keenan Allen, Omar Cooper and Eli Raridon, and they close by building a DFS lineup together for the week. 🔍 Topics in this video: fantasy football start or sit this week for week 9, fantasy football rankings, fantasy rankings changes, week 9 injury report, week 9 fantasy smash spots, week 9 fantasy crash spots, week 9 QB rankings, Week 9 RB rankings, Week 9 WR rankings, Week 9 TE rankings, Week 9 NFL DFS lineup building, Brock Purdy, Bryce Young, Quinshon Judkins, Chase Brown, Tyler Allgeier, Nico Collins, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Tetairoa McMillan, Greg Dulcich, Dalton Kincaid, Sam Darnold, Drew Lock, Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, Cam Skattebo, Devin Singletary, Ashton Jeanty, Rachaad White, Keenan Allen, Omar Cooper, Eli Raridon Learn more about your ad choices.

    7 Players Whose Stocks Are Rising in Week 7 (+ Buy Low/Sell High Candidates)

    Nobody’s stock is falling this week, and five of the seven risers are young receivers. Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet go through the fantasy football players whose utilization is climbing going into Week 7 — and what’s actually driving each one. Germie Bernard rises to a high-end WR3. Carnell Tate joins him at high-end WR3, and his utilization comps paint an interesting picture — receivers at his utilization score have gone on to a top-24 season 46% of the time. Omar Cooper climbs to a high-end WR4. Jalen Coker and Emeka Egbuka both move up to mid-range WR2, with Egbuka cashing in last week’s Dwain-Lib. At running back, Bhayshul Tuten rises to a mid-range RB2 and Jaylen Warren holds steady there. Then the part your league isn’t thinking about yet. Is A.J. Brown a buy low after everything that’s happened? And is Ashton Jeanty a sell high while the name still carries weight? They also play Dwain-Libs on the thresholds that would move players again this week: what route share makes Ja’Kobi Lane a WR4, what gets Tyler Higbee to a low-end TE1, and what Omar Cooper becomes at an 85% route share alongside Adonai Mitchell. And they close with the moves to make before your league-mates get there — Dwain stashing Jaylin Noel, Pete on Christian Kirk and Terrance Ferguson, Kendall on Chig Okonkwo and Antonio Williams. 🔍 Topics in this video: 2026 fantasy football, stock up stock down, buy low sell high, route participation, utilization, week 7 fantasy football, Germie Bernard, Carnell Tate, Omar Cooper, Jalen Coker, Emeka Egbuka, Bhayshul Tuten, Jaylen Warren, A.J.

Plus Imagine That, presented by Xfinity Shield, on Bhayshul Tuten never having another touchdown called back. Then Real Football vs. Fake Football with former NFL offensive coordinator Scott Turner — whether C.J. Stroud is officially back to his rookie-year self, what Travis Hunter brings to the Jaguars offense on part-time snaps and whether he should be playing more, and how hard to press the panic button on a 2-4 Rams team that opened the year as Super Bowl favorites.
