Below Patrick Mahomes Color Rush Jersey , I have spotlighted for daily fantasy selections leading into the ninth week of the NFL season. I’m mostly looking for affordable options who will provide good value.I use the following criteria to try and find players — NFL Vegas totals, NFL team stats, what the fantasy gurus are saying and my GUT.Without further ado, let’s see who’s made my list of five players this week!Adrian Peterson, RB RedskinsPhoto by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesEven though he’s 33, Adrian Peterson has put together a pretty decent season for himself and the Redskins.In Week 10, the Redskins play the Buccaneers, who have given up the sixth-most fantasy points per game to running backs. I’m looking for the Redskins to run the ball frequently on Sunday to keep the ball out of the hands of a very good Bucs offense.The quantity of carries, and the Bucs’ issues stopping the run could allow Peterson to have a great fantasy day — 33 years old or not.Andy Dalton, QB BengalsPhoto by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesTypically, I don’t pick quarterbacks in these articles, but this week is a special occasion.Andy Dalton (or Daytime Dalton as I like to call him) has had a somewhat up-and-down season. However, I believe his Week 10 contest against the Saints could spell good things for Dalton.The over-under for the Bengals/Saints game is 54 points — the highest of the week — and the Saints give up the second-most fantasy points on average to quarterbacks (25.2).All things considered, I expect Dalton to have one of his good weeks on Sunday and he should put together a pretty nice day, while being cheaper than the likes of Mahomes, Brees https://www.thechiefsfanshop.com/Mitch-Morse-Jersey , etc.Tyrell Williams, WR ChargersPhoto by Clive Rose/Getty ImagesTyrell Williams has two games with more than 100 receiving yards so far this year. He is the epitome of a boom/bust player.If you’ve been reading these articles through the season, you’ll know that I like trying to catch players before the “boom.” I think this week against the Raiders could be a boom week for Williams.The Raiders allow the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, and Philip Rivers isn’t exactly playing bad as of late. I’m looking for Williams and the Chargers offense to run all over the Raiders, and Williams should be able to share the success.Spencer Ware, RB ChiefsPhoto by Peter Aiken/Getty ImagesNo — this isn’t my Chiefs pick of the week—we’ll cover that later.However, the Cardinals have given up the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs in the NFL. With the Chiefs-Cardinals game likely being a blowout in the Chiefs favor, the Chiefs offense may look to get Spencer Ware involved more than usual.With a large lead, Reid may want to give Hunt a breather before facing a physical LA Rams team. On top of that, a sizable lead should force the Chiefs offense to run the ball frequently in the second half.Long story short, Ware might see a lot of looks on Sunday, he’s playing decent football right now, and he can be had for super cheap. Ware could be a very solid steal on Sunday.Benjamin Watson, TE SaintsPhoto by Scott Cunningham/Getty ImagesIf you’re looking for a cheap option at tight end, Ben Watson might provide good value on Sunday against the Bengals — even if he is older (37) than your average NFL tight end.As mentioned earlier, the Bengals-Saints contest has the highest Vegas point total (54) in Week 10. Add the fact the Bengals give up the third-most fantasy points per game to tight ends (11.1) Xavier Williams Jersey , and Drew Brees might find Ben Watson more than usual in Cincinnati.Last week, I picked the Chiefs D/ST as the pick of the week, and they had a mediocre performance allowing 21 points, forcing one turnover and two sacks.That left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, so this week we’re going to do it all over again:Chiefs D/STPhoto by Harry How/Getty ImagesI know, I know... The Chiefs have this awesome offense, and I won’t pick any of their players. But really, I’ve been picking the Chiefs offense plenty, and I love an underdog story.I think the Chiefs defense puts together a good game against the Cardinals. Arizona has given up the second-most fantasy points per game to NFL defenses (12.3). The Cardinals offense is having troubles to say the least:31st in points scored32nd in yards28th in turnovers lost32nd in first downs30th in passing touchdowns31st in adjusted yards per pass attempt32nd in rushing yards32nd in yards per rush attemptI think you get the point. This Cardinals offense is, well, offensive. I’m looking for the Chiefs defense to take the opportunity to improve on Sunday against the Cardinals. On Sunday afternoon in Cleveland, the team captains for the Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns met at midfield, shook hands, and the referee flipped the coin into the air.The Chiefs won the toss......for the ninth consecutive time.The probability that this will occur — that is, that you can correctly guess whether a coin flip will be heads or tails nine times in a row — is one in 512.If the Chiefs win the toss at home on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, they’ll have done something that would happen only once in 1 Chris Conley Color Rush Jersey ,024 attempts.Those are some long odds.If this were to happen for another team — say, the New England Patriots — there would probably be an investigation into whether the coins being used are magnetized, and being controlled by some exotic technology being operated on the Patriots sideline by a 17-year-old kid who performs the service in exchange for Tom Brady jerseys.It’s certainly true, however, that what head coaches do when they win the toss has changed over the years.Old guys like me remember a time when winning the toss simply meant that your team was going to receive the ball to start the game; that’s what coaches always chose to do.But in 2008, the NFL changed the rules, allowing teams that won the toss a choice to “defer” to the second half.Because this is an NFL rule, the choice now given to the team that wins the toss is a lot more complicated than it really needs to be.I found this handy graphic that explains it:Only in the NFL could the result of a coin toss result in so many different outcomes.Anyway... modern NFL coaches tend to choose to defer to the second half — which in practice, means that they choose to kick off to start the game, and receive the kickoff to start the second half.Some coaches do this because they’re hoping to get an opportunity to score on two consecutive possessions.Others do it because they like the idea of starting the second half with a clean offensive possession where they will have a good idea of how the defense will play against them.Some coaches have even mentioned that if you’re on offense to start the second half in a road game, there’s less crowd noise — because many fans are still in the beer line or the bathroom as the second half begins.Whatever the reasoning, it is true that teams that choose to defer to the second half tend to win a slightly higher percentage of the time — somewhere around 53 percent.So most NFL coaches now consistently make the choice to defer.Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is one of them.Since the Chiefs have now put together this improbable string of coin tosses, during Wednesday’s press conference, reporters asked why.“The stats sit right there right at that 50-50 thing, but it swayed there toward deferring, so I just started doing that https://www.thechiefsfanshop.com/Anthony-Sherman-Jersey ,” Reid said. “For a while there, it was the other way and I kind of went with that.”Reid said that he’s only been doing it this way for the last six or seven seasons, but that it is important to be prepared for whichever way the coin falls.“If one goes the other way, you have to be ready to go. You can’t have a letdown or something off a coin toss,” he said.Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty ImagesReid said the streak of coin toss wins was ridiculous, but that the players were having fun with it — something that was made more clear when Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was asked whether the streak of coin tosses put more pressure on the captains in the pregame ceremony.“I don’t want that pressure on me,” answered Mahomes. “I joke around about that. I say that’s one of the most nervous points in the game for me right now. It’s kind of a running joke type of thing. I don’t think there’s any pressure. Whatever happens, happens. At the same time, everyone knows the coin toss thing is going.”Mahomes was also asked if there was a strategy about calling heads or tails.“It’s like that thing no one talks about,” Mahomes said. “No one talks about it. They call out the team captains and you go up there and whoever wants to call it, calls it.”I have to say that I like the approach the Chiefs are using.It’s simple.There’s no pressure.It’s backed up by statistical data.Contrast the answers Reid and Mahomes gave to the one Patriots head coach Bill Belichick gave on the subject in a 2015 ESPN article:Belichick, however, forgot to mention the most important factor: whether the 17-year-old kid on the Patriots sideline has the latest Tom Brady jersey yet.
