Fantasy Football Week 9 projections: Alvin Kamara set to explode as DFS build-around piece, plus more
Get Heath Cummings' full slate of Fantasy projections for Week 9
Like seemingly every year, Fantasy football has become a war of attrition, with Justin Jefferson (hamstring), De'Von Achane (knee), Khalil Herbert (ankle), and Anthony Richardson (shoulder) becoming the latest big-name talents to face multiweek absences. Breakout Rams RB Kyren Williams (ankle) has already been ruled out for Week 8 and was placed on IR. While "replacing" players of that caliber is difficult, their Fantasy managers have no choice but to pick up the pieces and try to make the playoffs with a higher degree of difficulty moving forward. One way to do that is to unearth less rostered players who are projected to perform like starting-caliber players on a weekly basis, and this is the place to find them.
