Week 9 Fantasy Football RB Picks

Bijan Robinson @NE

Great will meet great in Week 9, with Bijan Robinson scheduled to face the New England Patriots' vaunted rushing defense in their building. Robinson continues to roll at a breakneck pace and is lined up to have another big game.

With Kirk Cousins proving that passing is not the formula in Week 8, the strategy is lining up for Robinson to receive a hefty workload if Cousins starts in the contest.

Expect Robinson to get into the endzone at least once and receive plenty of volume. With temperatures continuing to drop across the country, the hits delivered by Robinson will continue to stack up, giving him the edge late in the contest to break a big one.

Jonathan Taylor vs PIT

Jonathan Taylor is making a clear case to be this season's Saquon Barkley in fantasy football, filling said role for Barkley's former quarterback, Daniel Jones. The Steelers have an overall defense that is stunningly trailing in the NFL in many categories, which sets up plenty of touchdown opportunities for Taylor.

The Colts' schedule is set to get much more difficult in the second half of the season. However, this week, Taylor is in line for another monstrous performance against a Steelers defense that ranks 30th in the NFL in yards allowed per game.

De'Von Achane vs BAL

De'Von Achane is playing his way toward a huge new deal in the future and has the chance to make another massive statement. The Baltimore Ravens have struggled to stop the run this season, allowing the 23rd most yards on the ground per game in the NFL.

Achane is set up to have a big night in primetime, and managers should sprint toward the matchup ready to cash in. Lamar Jackson is expected to play against Miami, according to John Harbaugh, as reported by ESPN on Monday. As such, a high-scoring affair could be on tap, which is good news for fantasy football managers.

If you have a running back in the contest, whether it's Derrick Henry or De'Von Achane, it's one of the most clear starting situations this week across fantasy football.
