NFL DFS: Week 9 Main Slate Breakdown - Cash Lineup, Pivot Lineups, GPP Plays, and Values
Preview
This is a loaded slate for values. Multiple injuries open clear paths. The top plays are Jaxon Smith-Njigba (27.1 proj, 30% own), Jahmyr Gibbs (25.7 proj, 28% own), Puka Nacua (26.5 proj, 26% own), and Christian McCaffrey (23.1 proj, 37% own). The highest ownership is concentrated on Kenneth Walker (38%), CMC (37%), JSN (30%), George Kittle (29%), and Gibbs (28%).
The best games are DET @ MIA (50 total, DET -6.5), SF vs LV (52 total, SF -9.5), and DAL @ IND (51.5 total, DAL -5). The slate is open for GPP. Do not force single entries. Get to at least two running backs from the core group. Ownership is concentrated on CMC, Walker, JSN, Gibbs, and Kittle. The value is real. Use it. This is a tougher week for single entry or double-ups. It is a better week for GPP shots. Take the dart throws within your budget.
