Fantasy Football Week 9 MVPs Include Drake London, Brock Bowers, and 9 Others

NFL Week 9 provided us with an array of touchdowns across the board. We had one game total 89 combined points. We had one game total to 59 after overtime. The entire day slate that saw 22 teams in action only had 5 teams fail to reach 20+ points. Whether you won or lost your fantasy football matchup, it is highly probable that someone put up points for you in impressive fashion. These players, in particular, were the standout MVPs of them all.

All provided scores are per ESPN PPR scoring.

What a game this was! The Bears held off the Bengals in a 47-42 thriller. Williams did not just have a great passing game, but also a... receiving game? Yes, he had 2 Receptions for 22 Yards and 1 Touchdown. I give props to the Ben Johnson offense. What won't they do?

Josh Allen - 28.82 Pts

273 Passing Yards, 1 Touchdown | 6 Rushing Attempts, 19 Rushing Yards, 2 Touchdowns

Our yearly meeting between Mahomes and Allen favored the home team. Allen is 5-1 versus Mahomes in the regular season. He is 0-4 in the postseason. The trend continues.

RUNNING BACKS

Christian McCaffrey - 34.3 Pts

28 Rushing Attempts, 106 Rushing Yards, 1 Touchdown | 5 Receptions, 67 Receiving Yards, 1 Touchdown

You cannot be surprised to see McCaffrey finish as RB1 on the week. The Giants front has been awesome, but not so much against the run. They failed today and McCaffrey continues his run behind Jonathan Taylor for that RB1 title.

Rico Dowdle - 28.1 Pts

25 Rushing Attempts, 130 Rushing Yards, 2 Touchdowns | 2 Receptions, 1 Receiving Yards

News was out this week and it stated that Dowdle would be the majority back for the Panthers. As the weeks have gone on, it has appeared that this may be inevitable. Dowdle out-rushed Hubbard 25-5. He is the man to have.

Kyle Monangai - 22.8 Pts

26 Rushing Attempts, 176 Rushing Yards | 3 Receptions, 22 Receiving Yards

I do not think that Monangai is stealing this job from D'Andre Swift. However, he has earned more playing time for when Swift is back. Their statistics have been very similar in regards to efficiency. Monangai perhaps played better than Swift may have today.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Drake London - 38.8 Pts

9 Receptions, 118 Receiving Yards, 3 Touchdowns

My hat is tipped for London as I stand up in a round of applause. We did not like London this week. His matchup, on paper, was not good. However, he mossed 'em all day long. All three touchdowns were with zero separation. This is your reminder that London is very, very good.

Tee Higgins - 33.1 Pts

7 Receptions, 121 Receiving Yards, 2 Touchdowns

There is a very strong case to be made that Higgins and London are the two best 1v1 weapons in the league. If you throw it up to them, they will catch it. Higgins had an equally impressive day as Flacco surpassed 400 yards. It is amazing to watch.

TIGHT ENDS

Brock Bowers - 43.3 Pts

12 Receptions, 127 Receiving Yards, 3 Touchdowns

Brock is back! I forgot how thrilling he was to watch play football. Bowers wasted no time ramping up to form. His form is in its perfect form. He is the TE1 when active.

Colston Loveland - 29.8 Pts

6 Receptions, 118 Receiving Yards, 2 Touchdowns

Let's not kid ourselves, I love being right and so do you... Loveland is up to his ideal form after early season injury derailments. He faced the 32nd ranked defense versus tight ends and added to it.

DEFENSE/ SPECIAL TEAMS

Titans D/ST - 20.0 Pts

1 Interceptions, 6 Sacks, 2 Touchdowns, 27 Points Allowed, 343 Yards Allowed

If you are curious, the Titans are rostered in 1% of leagues. Nobody trusts them and everyone was wrong. They were the DST1 of the week. Hats off to them as they have looked better over the past few weeks.

KICKER

Ka'imi Fairbairn - 17.0 Pts

5/6 FGM (3/3 40-49 Yds)

The Texans' franchise leader in points added to it today. Fairbairn missed one kick, yet still converted five of them. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to defeat the Broncos.

Honorable Mention - Cam Little

He set the NFL record today with a 68 Yard torpedo!
