Week 9 Monday Review: 3 RotoViz Favorites Find Themselves in the Spotlight and Hope to Stay There For the Rest of 2024

When it comes down to it, being a football fan is all about cheering for the players and teams we love. For most people, those allegiances come from where they grow up, or core memories from their childhood while watching football with friends and family. For others like myself, our favorite players are largely determined through fantasy football.

The ability to create my own teams has been a large reason I have been able to remain a football fan while dealing with the past 25 years of ineptitude as a lifelong resident of Northeast Ohio. As most Browns fans experience another season of heart break in 2024, I still find myself full of optimism and excitement leading up to kickoff every Sunday due to the existence of fantasy football.

With veteran running backs dominating the beginning of the fantasy season, 2024 has not necessarily gone as planned so far. There will always be hits and misses in any given week or year. But Week 9 provided us with a breath of fresh air, as we got big-time performances from a multitude of our favorite 2024 draft targets. As we inch closer to the fantasy playoffs, we must remember that it is not how the season starts, but how it finishes.

For an up-to-the-minute recap of the biggest storylines regarding the NFL week that was, come join Blair Andrews, Hasan Rahim, and I live at 9:00 p.m. ET every Sunday night on the RotoViz YouTube channel for the Fantasy Football Report.

As always, we will be using the Monday Review tool to look at all of this week’s action as we head into the Week 9 finale between the Chiefs and Buccaneers on Monday night.

Kevin Szafraniec April 25, 2025

In the week prior to the 2025 NFL Draft, I put out articles detailing the ideal landing spots for this year’s rookie crop of running backs and wide receivers based on vacated opportunities from 2024 and player performance. As players at both positions come off the board, I will be analyzing what their new NFL home means for their fantasy value, as well as how…...

With Comps to Late Bloomers Like Davante Adams, Robert Woods, and Michael Crabtree, Can This WR Buck the Trend with a Year 2 Breakout?

Kevin Szafraniec April 22, 2025

Robert Woods was drafted at the beginning of the second round in 2013 by Buffalo, but had to wait six years before seeing his first breakout season. Following his first 200-point PPR season in 2018, he put up two more in consecutive seasons. The 49ers selected Michael Crabtree with the 10th pick of the 2009 draft, but he did not break out until his fourth…...

Is the Sky the Limit For This WR Whose First Year Looked A Lot Like Tyreek Hill’s Rookie Season?

Kevin Szafraniec April 21, 2025

Due to off-the-field issues, Tyreek Hill was not selected until the fifth round of the 2016 draft. If based solely on attributes, he would have easily come off of the board in one of the first two rounds. Hill’s talent was never in doubt, and he proved it by putting up more than 200 PPR points and finishing as the PPR WR18 during his rookie…...
