Here are Scott Engel’s favorite value and punt plays at each position for NFL DFS Week 9. As a weekly nod to punting, we also salute some of the greatest punters of all time by featuring their photos. This week’s featured punter is Shane Lechler
NFL DFS Week 9 Quarterback Values and Punts
Derek Carr ($5,500 on DraftKings): The Raiders QB haspicked up his play recently and faces the Lions, who have the league’s worstpass defense. Oakland may prefer to run first, but Matthew Stafford will alsobe flinging the ball around the yard and Carr will have to keep pace.
Ryan Fitzpatrick ($4,800): Miami is actually startingto look more competitive and could come away with its first win of the seasonat home against the Jets. If the Dolphins are going to actually claim avictory, Fitzpatrick will carry them to it. The Jets’ 24th-rankedpass defense will be further weakened as RCB Trumaine Johnson is out with an ankleinjury.
NFL DFS Week 9 Running Back Values and Punts
Devin Singletary ($4,700): Among NFC teams, Washington allows the secondmost Fantasy Points Per Game to RBs. The Bills need a jolt offensively fromsomeone other than John Brown, and the exciting and versatile rookie is the guyto start providing it this week.
Mark Walton ($4,500): The path to a featured role wascleared for him this week when Kenyan Drake was dealt to Arizona. Walton hasshown he can be effective as both a runner and receiver and could be set forhis biggest workload yet in NFL DFS Week 9. He may actually register his firstcareer NFL TD against the Jets.
Ronald Jones ($4,100): If I was to go with Jaylen Samuelsas my third pick, that would be too obvious. The Seahawks and Buccaneers willengage in the highest scoring game of the week and Jones could see some openrunning lanes as Seattle has to mainly concentrate on stopping the passinggame. Jones has the speed to rip off a sizable run and can also finish off ascoring drive with a TD run. I have agut feeling (and my gut is very prominent) that Jones is on the verge of aquality DFS outing.
NFL DFS Week 9 Wide Receiver Values and Punts
Danny Amendola ($4,700): He caught eight passes ineach of the past two games for a total of 200 yards during that span. Amendolais seizing a role as Stafford’s high percentage and yardage after the catch receiver.
Zach Pascal ($4,100): With T.Y. Hilton out, he isexpected to step forward as the top WR for Jacoby Brissett. Teammate ParrisCampbell is also a very appealing GPP play at $3,000 and has more upside.
David Moore ($3,100): With Seattle’s signing of Josh Gordon, Moore will soon lose playing time and may be stripped of his role as the secondary downfield target behind DK Metcalf. Moore may want to make a statement in a high-scoring affair with the Buccaneers and their 31st ranked pass defense.
NFL DFS Week 9 Tight End Values and Punts
Noah Fant ($3,000): He was targeted a career-higheight times in Week 8 and could see a rise in production as the second mostprominent pass-catcher in the Denver offense. Brandon Allen may look for him asa safe target in his first NFL start vs. Cleveland.
Jacob Hollister ($2,900): Tampa Bay is second-worstin the league at defending the TE position, and Hollister has been targetedeight times in two games since coming off the practice squad. Russell Wilsonwill throw to him with some confidence and Hollister is capable of providingthat surprising TE outing that no one sees coming. Those seem to happenrandomly and frequently. Here’s an actual prediction that Hollister could bethe productive punt that no one else but you will own.
NFL DFS Week 9 Defenses – Values and Punts
Pittsburgh ($2,400): This unit is very underpriced.The Steelers have eight interceptions in their past three games and at leastfour sacks in four of their last six. The Colts passing game is depleted, andwhile Jacoby Brissett has been protected well this year, there could becoverage sacks absorbed and a lower scoring output against a unit that hasallowed 31 points in its past two games.
Washington ($1,800): The Redskins have not allowed 20 points in their past three games and have 10 sacks during that span. They intercepted two passes in Weeks 4 and 6. Buffalo is bottom 10 in points scored, averaging 19.1 points per game.
