There are a surprising of matchups that I like this week, but I guess I'll have to cut it down to a few of my favorite values for week 9:
Quarterback(s):
Jake Locker ($6,700, TEN): After putting up some nice numbers against a tough San Francisco team and coming off of a bye week AND playing against the Rams defense, it's easy to say this is a favorable matchup. I don't think I need to say anything else.
Case Keenum ($6,100, HOU): Also coming off of a bye week, Case Keenum gets to go up against a not so solid Indy defense. Although he didn't put up any sort of mind-blowing numbers in his NFL debut, he did throw for 271 going up against a very tough Kansas City defense. For the price he's at, he's definitely worth it.
Jason Campbell ($6,100, CLE): I don't like his matchup as much as I do Keenum's, but after putting up 293 with 2 TDs and 0 INTs against the KC defense I think he's still of good value. You'll have to use your own judgement if you're deciding between Campbell vs. Keenum.
Josh Freeman ($5,800, MIN): Just kidding.
Running Back(s):
Ryan Mathews ($6,500, SD): After putting up 2 solid games in a row, Mathews gets to go up against a mediocre Washington team which has let up the most fantasy points to RBs so far this season. Expect him to put up more solid numbers this week.
Zac Stacy ($5,800, STL): Stacy's played 2 solid games in a row also and is going up against TEN in week 9. Rushing for 134 against the Seahawks last week you should expect to see a heavy does of Stacy again. Listed as probable, we could assume that he will play this week and have another great game and maybe....just maybe.... the Rams will get their first rushing TD on the season.
Wide Receiver(s):
Dwayne Bowe ($5,000, KC): Kansas City goes up against the Bills in what should be a complete blowout. The Bills rank last in fantasy points allowed to receivers this season so at his price, I think Bowe is worth it even though he hasn't shown much this season.
Lance Moore ($4,900, NO): Moore came back last week and had 3 receptions for 34 yards and 1 TD. With Marques Colston nowhere to be found, Moore and Stills should get a fair share against NYJ this weekend.
Denarius Moore ($4,900, OAK): The other Moore had a low-profile week against PIT last week, but has the benefit of the doubt while going up against PHI this week.
Tight End(s):
Antonio Gates ($6,000, SD): Gates has had a pretty quiet last couple of weeks after a quick start to the season. Coming off the bye week and playing the mediocre WAS secondary, I think Gates will get a majority of the looks from Philip Rivers this week and we'll see some flashes of the TE we know Gates actually is.
Jordan Reed ($5,600, WAS): After showing a potential in the Redskins game against CHI, Reed was a little more soft spoken against DEN the next week. The Skins go up against San Diego this week and even though they play well defending TEs, we know what Reed is capable of.
Tony Gonzalez ($5,400, ATL): Well... he's Tony Gonz and he's only $5,400 this week. Need I say more?
Kicker: Graham Gano ($5,000, CAR)
Defense: Tennessee Titans ($5,200)
