FanDuel DFS NFL Week 9 picks and lineup advice: Wide Receiver

Compared to the running back position, where you can make a case for almost every name on the board, I can not say the same about the wide receiver position.

Tyreek Hill ($8500) is my favorite play on the slate after turning 18 targets into only 21 fantasy points on Monday Night. He is still the focal point of this Chiefs offense and should be a big part of the game plan as the Chiefs look to get back to their old ways against a Jordan Love-led Packers team.

Justin Jefferson ($7600) is a player that I think is in a great buy-low spot against a Ravens defense that has been extremely vulnerable to the pass. He has taken a bit of a back seat to Adam Thielen ($7400) who continues to find the end zone, but I think we could see a big Justin Jefferson game here as the Vikings fight to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Keenan Allen ($7000) and Amari Cooper ($6900) are two other receivers that are way too cheap as well. Both have certainly put up some duds on the year but have the potential to blow up any given week, especially given the strengths of their offenses.

I also will continue to play Tee Higgins ($6600) until FanDuel raises his price, as he is seeing equivalent targets to Ja’Maar Chase and has a huge game coming in the near future.

The punt play of the week is Rashod Bateman ($5400) who has seen six targets in both games since being activated and has flashed his big play ability. Now he gets a matchup against a relatively soft Minnesota secondary that just got exposed by Cooper Rush last week.
