Five fantasy football lists to help you strike fear into the hearts of the competition in NFL Week 9

Fridays are for Five Lists of Five here at DKNetwork, and we’re officially halfway through the NFL season. And Puka Nacua has officially aggravated his knee injury a second time. Mercy for this Rams fan, please. At least Cooper Kupp is back, right? Right?!

I digress.

A reminder of the premise behind this specific series of lists: All I want is for you to be better than your friends. You’re going to be surrounded by them on Sunday, probably. How sweet would it be if you could be sure you’ve checked every box possible that might guarantee you a resounding victory this week? Some kick-your-feet-up insights? I’ve got some.

Again—I know my audience. The smoke-break audience. The quick-scan-of-the-phone-on-the-way-to-the-fridge audience. The give-me-as-much-info-as-possible-as-fast-as-possible audience. I’m a man of the people.

And so, once more: Five Lists of Five. Think of these as byte-sized, two-minutes-to-yourself lists to scan during your weekend as you foam at the mouth for any competitive fantasy edge. As much relevant analysis as I can fit into, like, 250 words per player.

For those of you following the verbiage of these rundowns: I went phrasal today. It was Halloween yesterday, so strike fear into the hearts of felt like something we’d find in a Poe story. Or it sounds like something Gandalf might say as he rallies the troops at Minas Tirith. What is November for, after all, but a seasonal rewatch of The Lord of the Rings?
