Week 9 Fantasy Football Recap: Puka Nacua & Josh Jacobs Injuries, Chase Brown Panic + Waivers (Ep. 2327)
What are the biggest fantasy football takeaways from NFL Week 9?
Scott Bogman and Tera Roberts recap Sunday’s action, break down the biggest injuries, evaluate changing backfields and passing games, hit the panic meter on struggling fantasy stars and answer live listener questions ahead of the Week 10 waiver run.
The show starts with the injury fallout from Sunday, including Puka Nacua, Jalyen Waddle, Josh Jacobs, Ladd McConkey, Jake Ferguson, Xavier Worthy, Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew.
If Puka misses time, can the Rams lean more heavily on Kyren Williams and Blake Corum? Is Pat Bryant worth adding if Waddle’s concussion costs him time? And what happens to Green Bay’s offense if Josh Jacobs is forced to miss games?
The guys then tackle some of the biggest fantasy storylines from Week 9.
Has Chase Brown fallen out of reliable RB2 territory? Is Ashton Jeanty still the only Raiders running back fantasy managers should trust? Can Breece Hall regain control of the Jets backfield? And which quarterbacks should managers target with injuries piling up across the league?
Tera also explains why Malik Willis remains one of her favorite quarterback options for the upcoming stretch and why Green Bay’s pass-heavy offense could make Jordan Love a top-five fantasy quarterback going forward.
Then it’s time for the Panic Meter, including:
• Tucker Kraft
• Derrick Henry
• Kyren Williams
• Chase Brown
• Harold Fannin Jr.
• Matthew Stafford
Plus, Scott and Tera answer fantasy questions involving Corey Kiner, Nico Collins, Ladd McConkey, Kenneth Walker, Trey McBride and more as managers prepare for Week 10.
