Fantasy football: Week 9 pickups
Sometimes it just doesn't work out. I have a deep league where I've done everything I can to stay competitive. We've had bad breaks and a postseason berth is looking unlikely since only a third of the league makes the playoffs. What am I going to do about it? Well, I'm going to keep setting my lineup, keep plugging away and hope for the best. It's the least I can do for the good of the league. I mention this because I've seen some teams at the bottom of leagues failing to set lineups or stay competitive in any way. Lame! Do the league a favor and set your lineup. And if you need help, look no further than this week's free agent pickups. -- Matthew Wood

Blaine Gabbert, QB, Jaguars
Let's be honest: If you're looking for a viable starting quarterback option at this point in the season, things are probably not going great for your team. And it's not like Gabbert has picked apart defenses with his pinpoint accuracy. He is averaging a whopping 1 TD pass per game. And yes, there's the Bears game, where he actually put up negative points. Still, he topped 300 yards for the first time Sunday against Green Bay, and it's not like Detroit can stop anybody on defense. If you gotta roll the dice, you gotta roll the dice.
Last week: 303 passing yards, 1 TD This week: vs. Lions |
