Here’s an actionable thread on what defenses we can exploit for Fantasy Football.
Using Dropback EPA and Rush EPA, I looked at what defenses are Explosion Spots, Dead Spots, Run Funnels, or Pass Funnels.
I also included Opponent Pass Rate Over Expected for context.

Kyle McCord starting games during the fantasy football playoffs to win people big money is why we play this crazy game.

Week 9 in fantasy football saw:
- Jonah Coleman takeover
- Packers lose Josh Jacobs but bombs away offense wins
- Puka Nacua injured, how badly?
- Saquon Barkley is a mascot
- Brock Purdy for MVP
- Jets hand backfield to Breece Hall
Entire Sunday broken down with @Fantasy_Guru

Chasing a Packers RB off the waiver wire isn't the best idea. This offense is dead last in rushing yards in the NFL.
Packers run game ranks:
32nd in stuff rate (or first depending how you look at it)
31st in rushing success rate
31st in rush yards over expected
30th in runs contacted at or behind LOS
Josh Jacobs' replacement won't be very good, no matter who it is.
Josh Jacobs (finger) is set to undergo surgery this week and is expected to miss up to three weeks.

"The Jonah Coleman takeover is in full force… Complete." 📈 #Broncos #FantasyFootball
He was sitting on waivers in 82% of Yahoo leagues in September. Is Coleman a locked-in RB2 the rest of the way?

Puka Nacua Right Knee injury
Getting MRI tomorrow.
Hyperextension mechanism on contact.
There probably is some concern on ACL but team said “not concerned on ACL” so on-field tests may have been negative.
Key: he injured the PCL in his Right knee in 2024. PCL can be sprained with hyperextension but an MRI would show any damage that occurred.
Let’s hope for the best (Hyperextension sprain + bone bruise = week to week and not long term 🤞🏼)

In Week 9 of the 2026 season:
Joe Milton, while wearing a Kelly Green Eagles jersey, will be the starting quarterback against the division-leading New York Giants, who will be starting J.J. McCarthy.
You would get put into a mental institution if you said this in July.

I created a chart to show which strength of schedules are harder and which are easier in Weeks 9-17 compared to 1-8!
This uses @FantasyPtsData to analyze Raw FPG and Schedule-Adjusted FPG to determine which SOS's got easier or harder at each position
I have the updated Strength of Schedule Charts for Weeks 9-17! (per @FantasyPtsData)
These charts combine both Raw FPG Allowed and Schedule-Adjusted FPG Allowed

You should be stashing Demarcus Robinson
Here's what Kyle Shanahan said about the status of WR Mike Evans and his Achilles:
"I think we've made a lot of progress. I think he's going in the right direction and it's something we definitely got to be smart with, but we're not going to overly do it. We just want to wait till he's healthy and he's still working his way to get there."
