Fields had a rough opening month to the 2022 season as he averaged just 10.4 fantasy points per game in the first four weeks and topped out at 14.64. Since that point, he\u2019s scored at least 17.02 fantasy points and has averaged 21.7 fantasy points per game in that stretch. That\u2019s quite the turnaround. It really hasn\u2019t coincided with more volume as a passer either as he only has more than 200 passing yards once in that span. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, he\u2019s been more dynamic as a runner. In the last month, Fields has averaged 10.5 carries and 69.25 rushing yards per game. Extrapolated out over the course of a 17-game season that would be 178.5 carries and 1,177.25 rushing yards. Those are Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts-type rushing numbers. Fields doesn\u2019t need to be much of a passer to succeed in fantasy if he\u2019s running like that, just see Jalen Hurts circa 2021. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week he gets a great matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/dolphins\/\" target=\"_self\">Miami Dolphins<\/a>. The Dolphins have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks so far this season. They are also a great offense so Fields should see plenty of dropbacks in this one. Fields is looking like not only one of the best Week 9 Stream Team options but also a quarterback to pick up and ride the rest of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Justin Fields Weeks 1-4<br \/>\ud83d\udd38471 pass yds<br \/>\ud83d\udd38147 rush yds<br \/>\ud83d\udd383 total TD<br \/>\ud83d\udd384 INT<br \/>\ud83d\udd386.94 &#8211; 14.64 fantasy pts<br \/>\ud83d\udd3810.4 fantasy PPG<\/p>\n<p>Justin Fields Weeks 5-8<br \/>\ud83d\udd39728 pass yds<br \/>\ud83d\udd39277 rush yds<br \/>\ud83d\udd397 total TD<br \/>\ud83d\udd392 INT<br \/>\ud83d\udd3917.02 &#8211; 26.04 fantasy pts<br \/>\ud83d\udd3921.7 fantasy PPG<\/p>\n<p>Still only 41% rostered on Yahoo \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \u2734\ufe0fRob Norton\u2734\ufe0f (@norton0723) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/norton0723\/status\/1587169303647997952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 31, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Andy Dalton<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>NO<\/b> <b>&#8211; 14%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) <\/span><b>v BAL<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Marcus Mariota<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>ATL<\/b> <b>&#8211; 26%) v LAC<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Running Back \u2013 Kenyan Drake (BAL &#8211; 31%) @ NO<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not a strong week for running back streamers, let\u2019s just get that out of the way up front. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/ravens\/\" target=\"_self\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a> running back position has been a bit of a merry-go-round so far this year. J.K. Dobbins is coming off a major injury and proved to not be fully healed yet as he aggravated his knee and needed another surgery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ravens have been trying to piece it together with some combination of Kenyan Drake, Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, and Mike Davis this year. All of them have had their 15 seconds of fame and none of them have separated themselves. Just two weeks ago it looked like Drake may be turning into the guy as he put up 22.70 fantasy points. He followed that up last week with a 0.5-point clunker and it looked like Edwards was getting healthier and taking over. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week it was back to Drake as Edwards got a bit banged up again and Drake scored 16.70 fantasy points. He only had seven carries but caught all four of his targets. With Edwards coming off a major injury of his own and being banged up again, it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise if they are very cautious with him. Even if Edwards is active, Drake has earned touches, especially in the passing game. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/saints\/\" target=\"_self\">New Orleans Saints<\/a> defense was tough this week but just got gashed by D\u2019Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard two weeks ago. With the pickings looking slim Drake looks like one of the better Week 9 Stream Team options at running back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Dontrell Hilliard<\/b> <b>(TEN &#8211; 12%) @ KC,<\/b> <b>Caleb Huntley (ATL &#8211; 4%) v LAC<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wide Receiver \u2013 Garrett Wilson (NYJ &#8211; 48%) v BUF<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garrett Wilson came out of the gates hot to start the season showcasing his talent. After his 33-point performance in Week 2, he was the hottest name on the waiver wire with plenty of fantasy managers spending a massive portion of their FAAB to acquire him. Since then he\u2019s been a massive disappointment and that\u2019s coincided with the return of Zach Wilson. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before Zach Wilson\u2019s return, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/jets\/\" target=\"_self\">New York Jets<\/a> were throwing the ball at a crazy rate with Joe Flacco at the helm. They transitioned into a much more run-heavy offense leaning on Breece Hall. In the last couple of weeks not only have the Jets lost Hall for the season, but Corey Davis is also missing time with an injury as well. On top of that, second-year wide receiver Elijah Moore is extremely disgruntled and wants a trade. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That leaves Garrett Wilson as the last man standing and clearly the most talented playmaker the Jets have. They were smart enough to lean on him in this one despite the loss. He caught six of his seven targets and turned them into 115 yards. That was good for a 20.50-point fantasy day and a WR11 finish for Wilson. This week\u2019s matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/bils\/\" target=\"_self\">Buffalo Bills<\/a> isn\u2019t ideal, but the Jets should be trailing and therefore throwing much more than usual once again to the benefit of Wilson. This is a reminder that Wilson should not be available in more than half of leagues right now. He is one of the best Week 9 Stream Team options, especially if Davis remains out this week and should be picked up in all leagues for the rest of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheHQNerd\/status\/1587086881572864002?s=20&#038;t=mJmDJnyKQTe7QxEVt8UlPw<\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Rondale Moore<\/b> <b>(ARI &#8211; 35%) v<\/b> <b>SEA,<\/b> <b>Romeo Doubs (GB &#8211; 47%) @ DET<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tight End \u2013 Evan Engram (JAX &#8211; 43%) v LV<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evan Engram is actually a solid tight end in fantasy football despite what you may have been told. Engram is often the butt of many jokes but has been very solid this season. He has the 10th-most total fantasy points among tight ends this year. Engram\u2019s 45 targets are tied for seventh-most among tight ends. His 32 receptions are the 10th-most among tight ends and his 330 receiving yards are the eighth-most among all tight ends. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engram hasn\u2019t had any \u201cboom\u201d games so far but he does have five games with nine or more fantasy points and four games with double-digit fantasy points. This past game was his best of the season with 15.50 points. This week he gets a great matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/raiders\/\" target=\"_self\">Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>. The Raiders have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends this year so far. Engram\u2019s combination of matchup and volume makes him one of the best Week 9 Stream Team options at tight end this week, especially in the thick of bye weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Robert Tonyan<\/b> <b>(GB &#8211; 50%) @ DET,<\/b> <b>Tyler Conklin (NYJ &#8211; 12%) v BUF<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fantasy Football Week 9 Stream Team: Each week this column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50% of Yahoo leagues or less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3451,"featured_media":136324,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[1692,349,8994,6990,3329],"class_list":["post-136320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","tag-evan-engram","tag-fantasy-football-rankings","tag-garrett-wilson","tag-justin-fields","tag-kenyan-drake"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3451"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136320\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
