Week 9 Expected Points: Elijah Moore, Browns WRs ascending

Week 9 Byes: PIT, SF

Hello, and welcome to my Week 9 Expected Points article.

For those who may be new here and are curious about expected points, you should know that expected points come from the previous week’s games and are not projections. Expected points (EP) apply point values to players’ opportunities based on a number of factors such as down, distance, and where a player is on the field when they receive said opportunities. Players can then score above or below their expected fantasy points based on what they did with their opportunities — which we know as fantasy points over expected (FPOE).

Expected points are a usage stat that can help us identify players to target in the coming weeks, which I attempt to do every week in this article.

In addition to the handful of players I write up, I provide the highest EP totals from the previous week for:

50 running backs

50 wide receivers

24 tight ends

With plenty of potential gems to target in Week 9, here are some guys who caught my eye.
