Use these player salaries as context for building your Week 9 OwnersBox lineups. There is some great value at the running back position. It’s difficult to predict a players performance in a single week. But some players have great matchups in Week 9 or have risen on their respective depth charts with more opportunity.
- The Dolphins have been one of the NFL’s most pass heavy teams this season, a lot of that has to do with their 1-6 record. A matchup against Houston gives them the opportunity to better incorporate their rushing attack.
- Elijah Mitchell is one of a few true workhorses in the NFL right now and goes up against the second worst rush defense in the NFL.
- With James Robinson batting an ankle injury and running into the Bills he is someone you should try to avoid this week in season long leagues.
