Fantasy Football: Week 9 NFL Daily Fantasy Picks
WIDE RECEIVER
Stefon Diggs ($6500) Vikings vs. Lions – Minnesota has made some changes this week with their offensive coordinator in an effort to jump start a struggling offense. Diggs is a guy that is supremely talented but has been quiet mostly due to the struggles of this offense. He did receive 13 targets last week, most of them in the second half, and ended up with a touchdown and 8 catches. The Lions have not shown the ability to slow down any passing attacks even one as bad as this Vikings offense. I think with a new coordinator coming in, the Vikings will make a good effort to get their most talented offensive player involved.
Donte Moncrief ($6100) Colts @ Packers – Moncrief returned from injury last week and had a nice effort finding the end zone and catching 4 balls for 41 yards. Going into this week, it looks like TY Hilton is on the questionable side leaving Moncrief with a whole bunch of work headed his way against a Green Bay secondary that continues to struggle. With the added volume and the chance that Hilton is either out or limited, I love Moncrief and the Colts offense this week.
Demaryius Thomas ($7400) Broncos @ Raiders – Thomas has been a consistent option for the Broncos, receiving 10 targets in three straight games. I think the Denver offense is in a sneaky great match up and aren’t really being talked about. The Raiders are allowing 285 yards a game through the air and I like Denver to put a butt whoopin on them through the air and on the ground. Thomas is a safe bet to catch 6-7 balls and is always a threat to find pay dirt.
