Fantasy Football: Sleepers and Last Minute Pickups for Week 9

Marcel Reece, Oakland Raiders

Raiders fullback Marcel Reece is obviously not a fantasy stud, but he could be a solid plug-in for Week 9 against the Chiefs. Reece has scored a touchdown in two straight games and seems to have emerged as a part of the Raiders' passing game. Reece had three receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown and Week 8.

Reece can be a solid flex option for Week 8. 

Brandon Tate, New England Patriots

Many fantasy owners probably claimed Tate off waivers after Randy Moss got traded. If you held on to him you are a smart owner, and if not, now is the time to pick him back up. Tate had a solid week eight catching three passes for 101 yards including a 65 yard touchdown. 

Tate has a good matchup in Week 9 at Cleveland, add him if still available.

Steve Breaston, Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals were missing their compliment to Larry Fitzgerald, but he returned in a big way in week eight against the Buccaneers. Breaston caught eight passes for 147 yards but failed to reach the end zone. With many teams double teaming Fitzgerald, Breaston should see plenty of looks throughout the remainder of the season.

Be sure to add Breaston 

Jacob Tamme, Indianapolis Colts

Colts' tight end Jacob Tamme made his NFL debut on Monday night against the Houston Texans. What a debut it was as Tamme caught six passes for 64 yards and a score. With starter Dallas Clark out for the season, Tamme will fill in and look to build off his successful debut.

Tamme should be a hot pickup, so add him if available.
