The calendar flips over to a new month. November is here and so is Week 9 of Sunday football. One thing that is not new, we are still trying to go HIGHER. Let’s check out some projections that should go HIGHER during the day games.
Bo Nix HIGHER Than 201.5 Passing Yards
Bo Nix
Denver Broncos • QB • #10
I get it! Houston is a top five passing defense in the league. Bo Nix is no slouch. He is averaging just over 225 yards a game this season. Nix has surpassed this projection four of his last five games. In fact, he is averaging 253 yards a game in that stretch. While I do not see him hitting that number this game, he should clear his current projection comfortably. Look for him to continue his momentum.
Tyler Warren HIGHER Than 58.5 Receiving Yards
Tyler Warren
Indianapolis Colts • TE • #84
Tyler Warren has been a STUD. He has been very fun to watch this season. He gets to go up against Pittsburgh this week. They have allowed the third most yards to tight ends this season and the most per game, giving up just over 79 yards per game this year. Warren is leading tight ends in receiving yards. He should have a field day this week.
Kimani Vidal HIGHER Than 73.5 Rushing Yards
Kimani Vidal
Los Angeles Chargers • RB • #30
Kimani Vidal has been taking advantage of his new starting spot. It has been three games since Vidal has taken over the RB1 spot in Los Angeles. Two of those games he rushed for over 100 yards. Almost every play it seems as if he is breaking tackles and extending the play. Now he gets to face a weak rush defense in Tennessee. In their last three games, Tennessee is giving up just over 135 rushing yards per game. This is a very respectable projection, but when you’re hot, you’re hot. Let’s get another triple digit rushing game this week.
Rashid Shaheed HIGHER Than 42.5 Receiving Yards
Rashid Shaheed
New Orleans Saints • WR • #22
New Orleans are starting Tyler Shough this week. Shaheed was not the go to for Spencer Rattler, but that might not be the case for Shough. This is Shough’s first start, but not the first game he is appearing in. Shough took over late in the third quarter against Tampa Bay. In just over a quarter Shaheed was his go to. In that short time Shaheed caught seven of eight targets for 54 yards. Shough is already comfortable with him and will continue to look his way in his first start.
James Cook HIGHER Than 76.5 Rushing Yards
James Cook
Buffalo Bills • RB • #4
What a year James is cooking up. He is averaging 107.5 rushing yards a game. Cook is coming off torching Carolina for 216 yards. Sure that may have inflated his average a little bit, but that was his fourth game with 100+ rushing yards. He gets to face a good rush defense in Kansas City next. They have been very good the last three weeks, only giving up 61 rushing yards per game. Those were all home games and they have been a better rush defense at home. As an away team, they are giving up almost 110 rushing yards per game. Buffalo is looking to show that they are the team to beat in the AFC and Cook is going to be the one to prove it this week.
