Week 9 of fantasy football has arrived, and there are many players sleeping in the back this week. From new faces to injuries, here are just a few of the sleepovers.
It’s the ninth week of the NFL season. It’s the first week after the deadline, and there are several teams in the meet. This means that you may lose some essential pieces this week. There are quite a few back-to-back running options that should be able to provide proper weeks this week. Let’s get into it.
Best Back Run Sleepers of Fantasy Football Week 9
10. Naheim Hines, Buffalo Bills
After having his best game of the season in Week 8, Nyheim Hines will play his next game on a new team. After being traded to the Buffalo Bills, Hines joins a powerful attack that lacks any kind of involvement in passing the game from their contestant backs. Enter Hines, who excels in this role annually in Indianapolis.
While Hines likely won’t be playing a big role in his first week with the Bills, he might be worth a speculative trip to the PPR tournaments. Especially in what might be a tough split game against the Jets, Hines can be used in special pass packs, making it a frontier start for PPR tournaments.
9. Dontrell Hilliard, Tennessee Titans
Speaking of catch-up passes, Dontrell Hilliard was the closest thing to the Tennessee Titans behind the ultimate beast that is Derrick Henry. It’s hard to find any relevant fantasy production of Henry’s backup, but Hilliard has seen fairly productive days — most recently in Week 8 where he ran for 83 yards against the Texans.
Hilliard had made at least three receptions in three of his six games, the second apparent number in Tennessee behind Hassan Haskins. If there is ever a week that Tennessee will need help with a passing game from their back court, this week it will be against Kansas City. It’s a very deep sleeper PPR and a cheap DFS arrow throw.
