Week 9 of the 2025-26 NFL season continues with a great Sunday slate. There are far more ways to get involved in the action than just via traditional betting. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this season is Pick6 Fantasy Football!
Here are my top Pick6 plays for the Week 9 Sunday slate.
Kyle Monangai More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
Kyle Monangai is set for the first game of his career as the primary back. D’Andre Swift is going to miss this game with a groin injury, making Monangai the main man for the Bears this week. Monangai had already started to emerge as a bigger threat in the Bears’ offense. Two weeks ago, he had a career-high 81 rushing yards against the Saints. He has shown the ability to make plays in the passing game as well. In that Saints game, he scored his first career touchdown. He has another great chance to find the end zone against the Bengals. Cincinnati ranks 31st in the NFL in defensive EPA/play, 31st in defensive EPA/rush and 30th in defensive rushing success rate. Breece Hall had 133 yards and two scores on the ground last week against the Bengals. Monangai should have a big game and find the end zone at least once.
Davante Adams More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
Davante Adams is having a fantastic season for the Rams. Adams came into the season knowing Puka Nacua was the main man for the Rams. However, Adams has been the first complement to Nacua. Nacua demands so much defensive attention that it has allowed Adams to thrive. Then, in the Rams’ most recent game, Nacua was out with an injury. While Nacua was out, Adams had three touchdowns. That brought Adams to six touchdowns on the season, tied for the third-most in the NFL. Matthew Stafford has continually looked to Adams in the end zone all season. While Nacua is getting the bigger target share on the other 80 yards of the field, Adams is getting more red-zone targets. Adams is getting an astounding 38.6% of the Rams’ red-zone targets, compared to just 17.1% for Nacua. Against a Saints defense that ranks 22nd in defensive EPA/dropback, Adams has a great chance of adding another touchdown to his season total.
Tyjae Spears More Than 45.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards
Tyjae Spears is starting to take on a bigger role in the Titans’ offense. Everything is going wrong for the Titans this season. They have just one win on the season, and things are only getting worse. The Titans are stacking injuries, including to star receiver Calvin Ridley, who is out for this game. With Ridley out, that chunk of targets will need to go elsewhere. Matters are made worse by the fact that the Chargers rank ninth in the NFL in defensive EPA/dropback. The Titans should struggle to get anything going down the field. That means Cam Ward is likely to check it down to Tyjae Spears, who has at least three receptions in each of his past three games. Last week, Spears had a season-high 12 touches for 82 yards. He is continuing to boost his usage rate after missing the first month of the season with an injury. He should continue to get more touches, and this game sets up for Spears to have another good game.
