Why It Matters
The Week 9 NFL schedule features an 11-game main slate starting at 1 p.m. ET. Expert Mike McClure uses a proprietary model to provide DFS recommendations for platforms like FanDuel and DraftKings.
The Week 9 NFL schedule brings an 11-game NFL DFS main slate on Sunday, with the action kicking off at 1 p.m. ET. Three games have a total of at least 50 -- Lions vs. Dolphins, Cowboys vs. Colts and 49ers vs. Raiders. Those will be popular sources for NFL DFS picks, but creating a GPP-winning roster means digging deep across every game and looking for value.
So while high-priced options like Jahmyr Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey and Dak Prescott are all worth considering, finding potential NFL DFS sleepers like Adonai Mitchell, Mike Washington or Malachi Fields is important as well. Additionally, the Week 9 NFL DFS player pool has several new starting QBs such as Shedeur Sanders, Joe Milton and Gardner Minshew.

Top NFL DFS picks for Week 9, Sunday
One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for the Sunday main slate in Week 9 is Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb at $8,800 on FanDuel and $8,300 on DraftKings. Lamb brings significant exposure to the Cowboys vs. Colts matchup that is tied for the highest over/under on the main slate at 51.5 points. He has a target share of almost 33%, and is near the top of the NFL in every receiving category as he's put together a huge 60-709-6 receiving line this season.
He's also building around Broncos running back Jonah Coleman ($6,300 on FanDuel, $5,300 on DraftKings, who is now operating as the lead back in Denver's offense ahead with RJ Harvey (knee) out. Coleman has clearly been the preference over JK Dobbins recently, and now he gets a dream matchup against the Panthers, who have given up the second-most Fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.
