Week 9 will go down as possibly the craziest week of the season thus far. After all, we saw (1) a previously unheralded QB (Foles) throw more TD passes than incompletions, (2) a veteran fullback (Darrel Young) with one career TD reach the end zone three times, (3) two WRs outside of our top 50 consensus (Cooper/Cotchery) haul in three TDs, and (4) a RB (Mike James) have more success throwing TD passes than RG3. Oh, and a game ended on a walk-off safety!
Needless to say, it was an exciting week of football. Whether or not it was as fun for fantasy prognosticators is potentially a different story. In any event, here’s a look at which experts did the best job with their picks.
