15 Fantasy Football Transactions for Week 9
Golden Tate's been on fire, but with Calvin Johnson's return, you may want to sell him.

It was one of the highest scoring weeks we've ever seen in fantasy football. PlayerProfiler.com. A third-round pick in May's draft, Sims has a lot of upside off the wire.

Add Donte Moncrief

Another rookie to look at is Colts' wide receiver The quarterback position is a replaceable one, and if you can get a significant return for the Patriots' passer, go for it.

Add Brandon LaFell

With that being said, you should still be adding ESPN.com leagues, LaFell now has four touchdowns over his last five games, and is seeing reasonable volume, including Sunday's team-high 11 targets.

The main issue with any New England wide receiver is the weekly fluctuation in their play. LaFell's been a top-10 PPR wideout three times now this season, but he's also ranked 61st, 88th and 42nd at the position. It's not going to be a consistent ride.

Buy LeSean McCoy

Things are improving for the Philadelphia Eagles' ground game, and it's starting to impact This quote kind of sums up why you should be dropping Chris Johnson. First, "he don't even be in the game", getting out-touched by both Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell in Week 8.

Second, he's not even average. Johnson has a -5.96 Rushing NEP, losing 0.09 points for the Jets with every rushing attempt. Ivory, meanwhile, has an 11.01 Rushing NEP, adding 0.11 points for New York with each tote. Johnson ranks 37th among the 53 running backs with 50 or more touches in per rush NEP, while Ivory ranks 3rd. Behind the same offensive line, in the same system.

I have no idea why he's still owned in 85% of ESPN.com leagues.

Add Alex Smith

If you're in need of a quarterback streamer this week, boring Alex Smith may be your man. He hasn't set the world on fire - and he never will - but the Jets' secondary, which is below average according to our metrics, ranks dead last in terms of fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. In fact, every quarterback they've faced has thrown at least two touchdown passes.

Though Smith doesn't have many weapons in the receiving game, he's a good option off the wire.

Add the Browns' Defense

The Browns have been a decent fantasy defense regardless of matchup this year, ranking 14th in fantasy points scored. They forced three turnovers against the hapless Raiders, and host a Buccaneers team this week that ranks 31st in offensive efficiency. Get them off the waiver wire.
