Fantasy Football Week 9: Projecting the Top Player at Each Position

Week 9 of the fantasy football season is right around the corner so it’s time to log onto Yahoo!, ESPN, CBS or whatever service you use and set your lineup.

Seriously, don’t be a fool and lose a game because you were too lazy to bench some bye-week players.

Also, be happy if you have any of the studs on this list playing for you this week, as they are the projected top player at their respective position.

QB: Tom Brady

Brady gets to have his revenge on the New York Giants for spoiling his perfect season, and he will come at them with a vengeance.

The Patriots also lost last week to one of their biggest rivals of recent years, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

All signs point to Brady being motivated and ready to dominate this week, so look for him and his receivers to go bananas this week.

RB: Arian Foster

Foster has a great matchup against the Cleveland Browns’ No. 26-ranked rushing defense.

Andre Johnson’s status is still up in the air, which will force the Houston Texans to continue to rely on their high-powered rushing attack to get the job done.

Expect a big day out of this guy.

WR: Dwayne Bowe

The Kansas City Chiefs are rolling on a four-game winning streak right now.

I don’t see them slowing down against the lowly Miami Dolphins, and Bowe should have a nice game as Chiefs eviscerate the opposition.

Wes Welker, Vincent Jackson and Andre Johnson have already burned Dolphins corner Vontae Davis this season.

TE: Jimmy Graham

Graham is having an incredible season and may be the best tight end in football right now.

With Drew Brees consistently finding him for long bombs and scores in the red zone, Graham can do it all.

The last time the Saints played Tampa Bay, Graham went off for seven receptions and 124 yards. Not too shabby.

K: Mason Crosby

The Packers are coming off a bye fully healthy and ready to dominate.

Crosby will be kicking extra points all day and chipping in easy field goals as Aaron Rodgers drives the offense down the field.

DEF – Atlanta Falcons

It goes without saying anymore that anyone who plays the Colts will have a solid defensive day.

That’s quite a change from the previous 10 years or so.
