Fantasy Football Usage Report: Jonah Coleman primed for big Week 9 in expanded role
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman has emerged as a key player since returning from injury, ranking as the RB12 in expected fantasy points since Week 7, and is poised for a strong Week 9 matchup against the Panthers' weak run defense.
- Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is struggling with injuries and limited opportunities, making him a risky fantasy option against the Giants' strong run defense despite recent touchdowns.
- Commanders rookie WR Antonio Williams took on a larger role after Terry McLaurin's injury, showing upside as a WR4/flex option, especially if teammate Treylon Burks misses more time.
- Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy has seen a decline in production recently and is unlikely to be a fantasy contributor in Week 9 against the Jets, making him droppable in many leagues.
- Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich is a strong streaming candidate due to increased targets and a favorable matchup against the Lions, who have allowed the most fantasy points to tight ends recently, while Eagles TE Dallas Goedert faces a tough matchup and uncertain quarterback play, limiting his fantasy appeal.
