Week 9 Byes: PIT, SF
Arizona Cardinals
James Conner (Week 8: 50 snaps, 22 opportunities, 19 routes, 2 targets)
Emari Demercado (Week 8: 8 snaps, 1 opportunity, 4 routes, 1 target)
Trey Benson (Week 8: 4 snaps, 1 opportunity, 1 route, 0 targets)
Notes: In the Cardinals’ Week 8 win over the Dolphins, Conner ran 20 times for 53 yards and one touchdown while adding two catches for 16 additional yards. It wasn’t the most efficient day for the veteran back, but he continues to dominate the Cardinals’ backfield opportunities and is touting a 35 percent opportunity share since Week 6. He remains the only fantasy-relevant back in Arizona’s backfield, while Trey Benson is my preferred stash despite him playing just behind Emari Demercardo.
Atlanta Falcons
Bijan Robinson (Week 8: 40 snaps, 20 opportunities, 20 routes, 7 targets)
Tyler Allgeier (Week 8: 22 snaps, 12 opportunities, 4 routes, 0 targets)
Notes: Bijan Robinson ran for 63 scoreless yards on 13 carries in Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers, but he was on the receiving end of seven targets and turned them into 7-43-1. Robinson has seen five or more targets in four of his eight games this season and currently ranks in the top five amongst running backs in:
Targets – 35
Receptions – 31
Receiving Yards – 244
His 203 route run leads all running backs and is 25 more than the next closest player (Alvin Kamara, 178). Since totaling 19.8 fantasy points in Week 8 against the Panthers, Tyler Allgeier has managed just 8.8 fantasy points over the last two weeks and can’t be trusted in Week 9 against the Cowboys. Allgeier is a high-end bench stash and nothing more.
Baltimore Ravens
Derrick Henry (Week 8: 31 snaps, 12 opportunities, 9 routes, 1 target)
Justice Hill (Week 8: 34 snaps, 3 opportunities, 20 routes, 1 target)
Notes: In a week where Justice Hill out-snapped Derrick Henry, the Ravens’ satellite back could only muster three opportunities in the Week 8 defeat. It was a typical fantasy week for Hill and an atypical week for Henry, who ran…
