I hate touting myself but last week’s picks were fantastic. Both DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Lockett did their jobs in the cash game section while Kenny Golladay and DK Metcalf went off in the GPP section. That sort of success is all we can ask for and I’m ecstatic to get back to work for this week. With that in mind, let’s get into our Week 9 wide receiver picks.

Week 9 Wide Receiver Cash Game Plays
Kenny Golladay, DET at OAK
DK ($7,700) FD ($7,600)
If someone’s been good to you, it’s silly to turn your back on them. That’s what we have here with Golladay, as this dude has been making me money all season long. Aside from one dud a few weeks ago, Golladay actually has at least eight targets in each of his other six games played. That’s a monstrous role and it’s clear that Matthew Stafford loves this guy more than I do. He’s done some serious damage with those targets, averaging 18 DK points per game as well. That makes him particularly intriguing against a Raiders secondary who owns a 32nd OPRK against opposing wide receivers, the worst mark in football.
Tyler Lockett, SEA vs. TB
DK ($7,500) FD ($7,500)
Is this the same article as last week? No, but as you know, I don’t turn my back on players who are good to me. Lockett is just that, as he’s developed into one of the best WRs in football. Averaging 17.2 DK points per game is impressive on its own but his role is simply fantastic. Not only is he averaging 7.5 targets per game since Week 1, he’s also playing on 94 percent of his team’s snaps. That’s awesome for a dude who’s got 23 percent of his team’s targets while posting a 27 percent air yardage rate. The biggest bonus here is this matchup though, with the Buccaneers allowing the second-most passing yards in the NFL while owning a 27th OPRK against wide receivers.
Allen Robinson, CHI vs. PHI
DK ($6,800) FD ($7,200)
Robinson has always been stuck in crappy situations in terms of his QB play but he’s always kept his head up and produced. That’s been very evident this season, with the Chicago stud averaging 17.1 DK points per game. More importantly, he’s had at least seven targets in all seven of his games while playing 93 percent of the team’s snaps. That’s backed up by the fact that he’s got 26 percent of his teams target share while posting an absurd 41.3 percent of his team’s air yards. Those brilliant statistics are even better when you consider that the Eagles allow the second-most fantasy points to opposing WRs.
Week 9 Wide Receiver GPP Plays
Marvin Jones, DET at OAK
DK ($6,000) FD ($5,700)
If we like this Lions passing attack, we have to take a shot on Jones. While he does play second-fiddle to Golladay, Jones has shown flashes of brilliance himself. That was crystal clear when he had 43.3 DK points just two weeks ago, one of the best fantasy performances of the season. His role has been increasing recently too, with Jones attaining 37 targets over his last five games. That’s really not far off of Golladay and he too should benefit from this tasty matchup against the putrid Raiders secondary. Don’t forget about Danny Amendola either, who has 16 catches for 200 yards over his last two games.
Robby Anderson, NYJ at MIA
DK ($5,500) FD ($6,200)
This is the definition of a GPP play. Anderson is the sort of guy who can win you a tournament or give you a big fat 0. That’s why he’s one of the riskiest plays on the board and why he’s found himself into the GPP section. The simple fact is, Anderson is still the focal point of this passing game despite his lackluster season. That’s evident when you see that he has 20 percent of the team’s targets while being one of the league leaders with a 41 percent team air yardage share. That’s really no surprise when you consider his deep-ball presence and he can easily pop off an 80-yard touchdown on any given play. That outcome is way more likely against the Dolphins defense, with Miami ranked 30th in yardage allowed and last in total defense.
We also like Jamison Crowder on the Jets, who’s averaging a ton of targets with Sam Darnold behind center.
Week 9 Wide Receiver Punt Plays
Mike Williams, LAC vs. GB
DK ($4,600) FD ($5,700)
Williams has been quite the disappointment for season-long fantasy owners but he has some serious upside with his current role. Over his last five games, Williams has 42 total targets while playing about 93 percent of the team’s snaps. What’s more is the fact that he’s got 104.1 air yards per game for the year, which is even higher in that recent five-game stretch. That means they’re targeting Williams a lot and targeting him deep. That means a dude who had 10 TDs last season is due for some positive regression and we’ll bet on it happening at this dirt-cheap price tag.
Preston Williams, MIA vs. NYJ
DK ($4,200) FD ($5,500)
Let’s give you a couple of Williams’ for our punt play section. Preston has found himself as the go-to receiver in Miami and that alone makes him attractive with them losing every week. In fact, Williams has played about 90 percent of the teams snaps over the last four games, which correlates with Ryan Fitzpatrick manning the QB position. That’s actually allowed him to have at least five targets in every game this season while averaging eight targets per game over his last five fixtures. That sort of role is really all you can ask for from such a cheap player and we’re really not worried about this matchup. Williams and the Dolphins face a Jets defense who ranks 25th in fantasy points allowed to opposing WRs.
Monkey Knife Fight Picks of the Week
Kenny Golladay Over Receiving 76.5 Yards
Golladay is averaging 88.5 receiving yards over his last three games and this may be the easiest matchup of the bunch.

Allen Robinson Over 5.5 Receptions
Facing one of the worst secondaries is obviously why we like this play but Robinson has at least five catches in five straight games, surpassing this total all but once in that span.
