These projections are the final edition for Week 9 of fantasy football. We've accounted for several injuries, including Deshaun Watson, Kyler Murray, Cam Skattebo, Garrett Wilson, and many others. We also factored in Kendre Miller's release, and below are the biggest risers and fallers since Wednesday, November 4.

Running Back Changes

Week 9 RB Projections
Thomas Carelli
  • Devin Singletary rises to RB2 status in Week 9 with Cam Skattebo out. Gregory Desrosiers and Phil Mafah back him up, but expect a heavy dose.
  • Alvin Kamara will have a dominant usage rate for the Saints as Kendre Miller was released on Saturday afternoon. Kamara is backed up by Audric Estime and Zamir White.
  • Mike Washington Jr. has been adjusted to anticipate a closer split with expected Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty is still a must-start in fantasy football.
  • Tyler Allgeier is a must-start, as Jeremiyah Love and Bam Knight are inactive. Evan Hull backs him up.
  • Breece Hall will play, but the split between him and Braelon Allen is extremely volatile.

Wide Receiver Changes

Week 9 WR Projections
Thomas Carelli
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba takes a small hit to his projection with Drew Lock getting the starting job.
  • Jordyn Tyson has been activated from the injured reserve. Do not expect much from Tyson in his debut; it is enough to bench Vele in Week 9.
  • Omar Cooper Jr. and Adonai Mitchell will get heavy usage now that Garrett Wilson has been listed inactive. I would start both in a pass-heavy game script, likely against the Chiefs.

Tight End Changes

  • Isaiah Likely has been downgraded to TE6 as the Giants quietly get Theo Johnson back in the mix. Don't expect it to hurt Likely much, but it could steal a target.
  • Don't use AJ Barner this week. He is docked due to the Drew Lock start.
