    Week 9 of the NFL season is approaching. Halfway through the season. As always injuries are playing their part, but with that comes some doors for others to step through. This week we will see who answers the call. Below are some options if your fantasy team took a hit.  QB - The picks were pretty underwhelming last week.PJ Walker logged QB 18, Daniel Jones QB 25 and Ehlinger QB 27. I still think there is something there with Jones, but maybe not worthy of trading for in anything other than Dynasty leagues. RB - Edwards got hurt, blowing what could have been a great day. Foreman crushed it logging RB 5, and he is the hot guy to have right now. Carter was good until the Jets drafted Robinson. He was terrible in Week 8 and not worth holding unless people get injured now. WR - Hardman had a bye, but he could do well this week, although Toney is on the Chiefs now too. Stock is down for sure. Goodwin and Campbell both underperformed. TE - Dulciich was a winner throwing up TE 9 numbers, and he should continue to do well in the coming weeks. Lots of last-minute trades and injuries flavor this week -  QB:

    1. Justin Fields - I am gonna admit I have been a Fields hater, but the last two games are making me a believer. I think he could deliver for you if he is on your wire.
    2. Taylor Heinekie - It is not pretty to watch, but for the next few weeks, he could be a suitable plug for owners who had Wentz, Ryan, Wilson, etc.
    3. Jacoby Brisset - In three weeks, his value goes to zero, which is why he is probably on your waiver, but week after week, he has consistent numbers. Same as above, if your drafted QB failed you, he might be a good stopgap.

    RB:

    1. Kenyan Drake - With Edwards going down, Drake had a field day, and he should have another good week. Things might get ugly after that, but coming off an RB 13 week, it could get better against the Saints.
    2. Jeff Wilson - Much like other traded players, he may not deliver this week, but he should get a shot in the weeks ahead. With Cmac taking the top dog spot in SF, moving to the loaded Miami offense might be a dream come true.
    3. Kyren Williams - Akers is in the dog house. Henderson is banged up, like every other year. Williams may not get off IR this week, but if he does, he could immediately jump into the 1 or 2 slot fast.

    WR:

    1. Rondale Moore - I have to be honest that I am not super excited about the WRs this week, but Moore is starting to get hot. He could be a zero or hero kind of guy, so move cautiously.
    2. Devin Duvernay - Duvernay is riding high due to injuries throughout Baltimore. Monitor the injury reports, but he could have another sweet performance.
    3. Garrett Wilson - The man will be a stud. Can Zach Wilson deliver? That is the risk.

    TE:

    1. Isaiah Likely - Andres is hurt. Likely is going to get the call. It might be a week or two, but get him while he is hot!
