What We Saw Roundup – Week 9

We watched every NFL Week 9 game so you don't have to — Here's What We Saw!

Jaguars @ Ravens

Final Score: Jaguars 33, Ravens 10

Writer: Christian Otteman (@COttemanPL on Twitter)

Two Up

  • Parker Washington — Despite catching just two of seven targets, Washington looked great on his catch-and-run touchdown and shook off the rust after a few down weeks.
  • Justice Hill — Broke off a long touchdown run for a second straight solid performance. Worth adding in deep leagues.

Two Down

  • Trevor Lawrence — It feels weird to say, but the Jaguars being this good is genuinely a bad thing for Lawrence’s fantasy prospects. Another week of no rushing production further lowers Lawrence’s stock.
  • Joe Fagnano — I don’t want to rub too much salt in the wound, but Fagnano was very outmatched in this game. With Jacoby Brissett on the way, we may have seen Fagnano’s last snaps of the season. I won’t count this game against the rest of Baltimore’s offense.

 

Jacksonville Jaguars

 

Quarterback

Trevor Lawrence: 16/26, 242 Yards, TD | 1 Carry, -1 Yard

Unfortunately for Lawrence’s fantasy managers, this was another case of the Jaguars overpowering their opponent and limiting Lawrence’s workload down the stretch. Lawrence took care of the football and got Jacksonville out to an early lead before coasting for most of the second half. Unfortunately, Lawrence’s rushing production remained invisible, and the Jaguars don’t seem overly interested in QB sneaks near the goal line this season. By no fault of his own, Lawrence feels more like a back-end QB1 than the top-end starter he was in the second half of 2025.

 

Running Back

Bhayshul Tuten: 12 Carries, 29 Yards, TD

An early touchdown was about all Tuten contributed Thursday after suiting up as a game-time decision. Tuten played a season-low 36% of snaps, likely thanks to both his lingering injuries and the sizeable second-half lead, so his lower workload isn’t anything to worry about. With a week and a half to rest up, Tuten should be all systems go for the Week 10 matchup against Tennessee.

Chris Rodriguez Jr.: 10 Carries, 19 Yards, TD | 2 Targets, 2 Receptions, 13 Yards

Rodriguez failed to punch in a touchdown from the 1-yard line during the team’s opening drive before Tuten punched it in on the next play, but he found paydirt in the fourth on a direct snap. While Rodriguez was inefficient for most of the night, he still has a firm hold on the team’s RB2 role and should be rostered as one of the league’s most valuable handcuffs in an elite offense.

Ameer Abdullah: 7 Carries, 30 Yards

Abdullah was the team’s leading rusher but saw most of his work long after the game was decided.

LeQuint Allen Jr.: 2 Targets, 0 Receptions

 

Wide Receiver/Tight End

Jakobi Meyers: 6 Targets, 4 Receptions, 65 Yards

Meyers maintained decent volume in this contest and was a big part of the Jaguars getting out to an early lead, with all of his receptions coming in the first half. Meyers nearly scored the first touchdown of the game, but he was pushed out of bounds just short of the goal line. Much like Lawrence, Meyers’ fantasy production is suffering from the team building large second-half leads. He should remain a low-ceiling flex option in what could be another mismatch against the Titans next week.

Parker Washington: 7 Targets, 2 Receptions, 61 Yards, TD

The early-season hype on Washington has dwindled in recent weeks after a few stinkers, but he showed off why the hype was warranted on his 50-yard touchdown when he caught a slant and left the Ravens’ secondary in the dust. If the Jaguars continue to run up the score on their opponents, it’ll be difficult for Washington to find his weekly ceiling, but he’s still as strong of a WR2 as they come.

Nate Boerkircher: 3 Targets, 2 Receptions, 61 Yards

Boerkircher’s biggest contribution came on the second play of the game for Jacksonville when Lawrence found the rookie for a huge gain with a few angry yards tacked on after the catch. A great play, but not a player worth adding.

Brenton Strange: 2 Targets, 2 Receptions, 22 Yards

Deuces wild for the Jags’ TE1, who did not record a reception until the second half. Not to sound like a broken record, but it’ll be difficult for Strange to reach his upside as long as Jacksonville is dominating their opponents.

Tanner Koziol: 2 Targets, 2 Receptions, 15 Yards

Josh Cameron: 1 Target, 1 Reception, 6 Yards

Travis Hunter: 1 Target, 1 Reception, -1 Yard

Brian Thomas Jr.: 0 Targets

Thomas was on the field for just 19 snaps and was not targeted as trade rumors continue to swirl. A change of scenery is the only way he’ll become fantasy-relevant this season.

 

Baltimore Ravens

 

Quarterback

Joe Fagnano: 10/18, 60 Yards, 2 INT | 3 Carries, 13 Yards

You have to hand it to Fagnano, who was thrust into a starting role unexpectedly after shocking injuries to both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. Truthfully, Fagnano did his best to keep the Ravens in the game for most of the first half by avoiding turnovers, but committed a couple of mistakes in the second half for a pair of interceptions. It was likely a one-and-done situation for Fagnano, as the Ravens traded for Jacoby Brissett last week, and the veteran should have plenty of time to get acclimated in Baltimore’s offense during their semi-bye.

 

Running Back

Derrick Henry: 17 Carries, 57 Yards | 1/1 Passing, -3 Yards

A Henry pass attempt is always an exciting thing to see in the box score, but it was more out of necessity, as Henry got a few direct snaps while the Ravens tried to keep things creative on offense to mask their quarterback’s struggles. Henry had a solid first half against the league’s toughest run defense but was unable to find the end zone, leading to an unproductive fantasy day. Things will be better next week when the Ravens get reinforcements at quarterback.

Justice Hill: 9 Carries, 85 Yards, TD | 3 Targets, 3 Receptions, 7 Yards

Hill was the source of the Ravens’ only offensive highlight of the night when he burst through a hole up the middle and went 65 yards to the house in garbage time. This run made Hill the most productive running back against the Jaguars all season. Hill should maintain a pass-catching role in future weeks, but don’t count on the last two weeks of production continuing. He’s a desperation flex at best.

 

Wide Receiver/Tight End

Mark Andrews: 2 Targets, 2 Receptions, 19 Yards

LaJohntay Wester: 1 Target, 1 Reception, 14 Yards

Rashod Bateman: 2 Targets, 1 Reception, 6 Yards

Zay Flowers: 6 Targets, 3 Receptions, 6 Yards | 3 Carries, 17 Yards

Matt Hibner: 2 Targets, 1 Reception, 5 Yards

Hopefully you had enough options to stay away from Flowers and the rest of the Ravens’ pass-catching corps with Fagnano under center, but if you started Flowers, you can at least breathe easy that Brissett is on the way. Flowers was unsurprisingly the most-targeted player on the offense and led this group in scrimmage yards thanks to a few rushes. This game can be thrown out as an outlier when considering the rest-of-season prospects for the Ravens offense. Flowers should be a fine option in your lineups with Brissett, but I’d stay away from Andrews and the rest until we see how Declan Doyle organizes the new version of this offense.
