Well, NFL Week 9 was a lot of fun to watch, except for Ravens fans, Chargers fans, Patriots fans, Falcons fans, etc. There were a handful of offensive explosions as six teams scored 30 or more points, which resulted in a lot of blowouts – with six games finishing with a gap of at least three scores. If you had pieces of the right offenses, you were feeling pretty dang good as a fantasy manager. The Bengals, Packers, Texans and Chiefs all looked like well-oiled machines while offenses in Baltimore and Philadelphia (among others) struggled to move the ball at all, let alone score points.
Sunshine on a Stroud-y Day
With the Houston Texans on the road and in dire need of a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, CJ Stroud took matters into his own hands, shredding the Los Angeles Chargers defense for five passing touchdowns and 44 points as the Texans absolutely dismantled their hosts. He looked confident in his decision-making as he moved through his progressions and was well-protected through most of the game (which makes a huge difference). It finally looks like maybe Stroud could develop into the superstar quarterback that fantasy managers thought he could be after an excellent rookie season. He was just one of many outstanding performances that helped your fantasy team to a Week 9 win.
