The Yahoo team presents their most steadfast Week 9 fantasy football predictions.
Don’t give up on Aaron Jones just yet
Week 8 was underwhelming for Aaron Jones in his least efficient performance of the season. Jones had 19 attempts for just 58 yards and two receptions for 37 yards. Despite the lack of production, Jones’ continued volume was highly encouraging. Over the past two games since the Vikings’ bye week, Jones has out-touched Ty Chandler 38-2. We want to lean on volume running backs and Jones is a lock for 20 touches.
Excluding the week where Jones was injured and played just 22% of snaps, Jones is averaging 19.7 touches per game — a number that would place him in the top-10 in touches per game this season. Lean into Jones this week against the Colts. Excluding his injury game, Jones has never finished lower than RB32. His consistency and reliability are up there with the best in the league. Expect Jones to dominate touches again in an excellent matchup and has top-five upside this week. — Tera Roberts

Fire up Brian Robinson Jr.
Brian Robinson Jr. is coming off his worst game of the season, producing 76 scoreless yards on 17 touches in Week 8. This was a tough matchup against the Bears, however, who were well rested coming off their Week 7 bye. But despite the poor fantasy day, Robinson still saw a great role. He earned 67% of the RB carries for the Commanders and totaled 17 touches. This was quietly one of his better usage games of the year which suggest Robinson is fully back from a knee injury that kept him out in Week 6.
This week Robinson takes on the Giants who allow the most rushing yards per play. It’s the perfect bounce back spot. New York just allowed 131 total yards to Najee Harris last week; start Robinson with confidence in Week 9. — Sal Vetri
