The NFL Week 9 slate was WILD — absolute fireworks across the league. 🔥

Lamar Jackson is BACK, dropping 204 yards and 4 TDs on Miami, now up to 14 touchdowns in his last three games with ZERO picks. The Ravens are rolling, and King Henry’s resurgence (19-119) makes them look unstoppable in the AFC North.

Rico Dowdle just became a league winner. The Panthers’ bell cow erupted for 130 yards and a score on 25 carries, out-touching Chuba Hubbard 27-5. It’s déjà vu for Dave Canales — his offense has now produced a fantasy RB1 three years in a row.

Brock Bowers is HIM. Post-bye explosion: 13 targets, 12-127-3, and a 34% target share. One of the best tight ends we’ve ever seen — and he’s just getting started.

Meanwhile, Drake London posted a 41% target share, 9-118-3 line, and 38 fantasy points. Locked into the Cooper Kupp role in Zac Robinson’s offense, London is turning into a superstar.

Joe Flacco vs Kyle Monangai turned into an instant fantasy classic — Monangai ran for 172 yards while Flacco threw for 470 and 4 TDs. Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase both went nuclear.

Matthew Stafford and the Rams remain elite — 4 more TDs (9 in two weeks), Nacua and Adams dominating, and Kyren Williams back over 100 yards. The 6-2 Rams look like real contenders.

Josh Allen outdueled Mahomes, scoring three total TDs and making history with his eighth straight season of 6+ rushing scores.

Christian McCaffrey continues his MVP-caliber tear — 173 total yards, 2 TDs, and averaging 25.7 PPG this year, the best since his legendary 2019 run.

Plus: JJM and Aaron Jones spark Minnesota, Pittsburgh’s defense humbles the Colts, and brutal injuries to Jayden Daniels & Tucker Kraft cap off a chaotic weekend.
