Fantasy Football 2019: Thursday Night Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Week 9
By Kole Berrey
START ‘EM FOR WEEK NINE
Emmanuel Sanders, WR, San Francisco 49ers
Emmanuel Sanders is going off this week. Lock it in. Book it. Write it down. Joe Namath guarantee it. I don’t care. It is happening. He is going to be the bright new shiny play thing for offensive guru Kyle Shanahan, who now has all the pieces to unleash a passing attack that is as good as his running game.
Sanders played on 82% of the snaps last week in his first game in a 49er uniform, and I expect that number to rise. He put up 12 points last week, and he has a great shot to go over 20 this week.
Zane Gonzalez, K, Arizona Cardinals
Would you believe me if I told you that Zane Gonzalez was the #1 Kicker in all of fantasy football? Cause he is. I also do not expect the Cardinals to be scoring touchdowns in this game. That means field goal attempts could be plentiful for Arizona. Look to start him this week if your league still has the kicker position.
Christian Kirk, WR, Arizona Cardinals
I may not be a big believer in Kyler Murray’s fantasy potential in this game, but I do think Christian Kirk has potential in PPR formats. The game script is going to be one that has the Cardinals throwing a ton, so targets should be there for the second year receiver to snag. He might not find the end zone, but six catches for 70 yards isn’t out of the question.
