Only two teams have a bye this week, and it’s a standard week for primetime contests. Thus, Week 9 has a 12-game main slate at DraftKings and a 13-game main slate at FanDuel. I’m using the following players on my DFS squads, and I advise readers to use them. However, I will provide an update Friday night or Saturday if it appears Tyrone Tracy will clear the NFL’s concussion protocol. He’s a notable absence but a no-brainer steal at both DFS providers if he’s active.
