Matthew Berry's 10 Facts For Week 9 Fantasy Football: D'Andre Swift, Brock Purdy & More

Key Points:

• Brock Purdy boasts one of the highest touchdown rates among NFL quarterbacks this season and will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9, a team that has allowed the most touchdown passes so far.
• The 49ers are projected to score 31 points in Week 9, marking the highest implied team total for the week.
• Key running backs like D’Andre Swift and Saquon Barkley have seen fluctuating usage due to teammates’ injuries, with Swift maintaining high productivity in Kyle Monangai’s absence and Barkley seeing reduced snaps since returning from injury.
• Raiders running back Mike Washington's role is expanding, leading the backfield in snaps and goal-line attempts, while Tony Pollard has scored five touchdowns in the past two weeks, matching his total from the previous full seasons.
• Wide receivers Ladd McConkey and Adonai Mitchell are emerging as significant targets, with McConkey facing a vulnerable Texans secondary and Mitchell excelling in deep pass opportunities; meanwhile, tight end Greg Dulcich is consistently productive against the Detroit Lions, who have struggled to contain tight ends this season.
