NFL Week 9 DFS Contrarian Picks: Caleb Williams, Derrick Henry & More
Welcome to NFL Week 9 DFS! Are you ready to build some winning DFS lineups? Ready to take down that big GPP tournament? Well, if you want to win it big, you need to find ways to separate yourself from the rest of the field and to do that, you need to find strong DFS contrarian picks.
Fantasy Alarm’s NFL DFS Ownership projections will help you identify where the majority of the field is going – who the chalk picks are for the week – and from there, you can figure out which players you want to pivot to for lower ownership. That’s the key to winning, but your picks are not just about lower ownership; they also need to have a strong match-up to exploit.
Last week’s selections for contrarian plays were solid, though we didn’t see any of them truly pop. C.J. Stroud was good but not great after losing Stefon Diggs to a torn ACL. Sterling Shepard also pulled up lame and missed a major chunk of time last week.
Josh Jacobs was a solid hit, for sure, but when every tight end dominates on National Tight Ends Day, it’s pretty tough to gain any real advantage. Ownership was definitely spread out and almost everyone hit.
If you’re ready to dominate your GPP tournaments, let’s get to our favorite NFL Week 9 DFS contrarian picks:
