Top NFL DFS Picks for Week 9

Alvin Kamara has really stepped up his fantasy upside over the last few weeks. He is extremely involved in the passing game, and the Saints have been doing a good job and finding the end zone. Now, Kamara and the Saints get an excellent matchup against the Bears.

CeeDee Lamb is coming off of a massive game, arguably the best of his career. The Cowboys will now get a division rival in the Eagles this week. With the likes of Tyreek Hill, Ja’Marr Chase, Stefon Diggs, and Justin Jefferson all unavailable on this slate, Lamb stands out as a top WR option in what should be a good game.

Bijan Robinson has had some ups and downs over recent weeks, including headache-gate, but last week he found the end zone and saw 16 touches. His price tag is now at an extremely appealing spot at just $6.1k and this is a pretty solid matchup as well.
