• Indianapolis Colts QB Joe Flacco is a top-12 fantasy QB option in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings: Not only has Flacco thrown multiple touchdowns in each of his seven starts over the last two seasons, making him a safe fantasy option, but he has also flashed a high fantasy ceiling, scoring 22-plus fantasy points in three of his last four starts. Three of the last four quarterbacks to face the Vikings finished as a top-nine fantasy QB that week.
• All Kyren Williams fantasy managers need to pick up Blake Corum now: Kyren Williams leads all running backs in the percentage of team snaps played (86.3) and percentage of team rushing attempts (76.0) in 2024, both by a larger margin. This heavy usage could lead to Williams’ body breaking down as we get deeper into the season. If Williams goes down, Los Angeles Rams rookie RB Blake Corum would be the next man up.
