Ryan Kramer thinks very highly of Ryan Tannehill following a below average performance against Cincinnati last week. He has him presently slotted in as QB5 while no other ranker has him lower than QB10. Tannehill has thrown at least two touchdown passes in each of his last four games and Chicago has allowed at least two passing touchdowns in each of its last two games so he thinks that this is a very underrated matchup for Tennessee’s passing attack. Tennessee has a solid receiving corps and Chicago should be stacking the box in order to stop the run which should open up a ton of big play opportunities.

Sean Green is significantly lower on Ezekiel Elliott than the others as he has Elliott ranked as his RB19. The low ranking is definitely understandable since Dallas’ running game has fallen apart ever since starting quarterback Dak Prescott got injured. Elliott has failed to record more than 63 rushing yards in each of his last three games while also failing to reach the end zone so he has been a bit overvalued lately. With a matchup against the Steelers up next, he should struggle once again since Pittsburgh is allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game.

Four of the six members of the SGPN Council of Degens agree that Davante Adams is the clear WR01 for Week 9 and for good reason. Adams has been unstoppable over the past two weeks as he has recorded 20 receptions along with 243 receiving yards and five touchdowns so it is safe to assume that he should put up some impressive numbers this week. Plus, San Francisco’s defense is still banged up so Adams should be able to get at least 100 receiving yards and one touchdown on Thursday night.

Adam Pelletier is the “Lone Wolf” of the panel when it comes to ranking the top Tight End for week 9 as he is the only person to grant Darren Waller possession of that slot. The other five members believe that Travis Kelce is more deserving after exploding for 109 receiving yards and one touchdown against the Jets last week. However, Waller has been extremely consistent in 2020 as he has recorded at least five receptions in each of his last four games so he provides consistent value in PPR-driven leagues.
