Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice picked up right where he left off in 2024. He's led the Chiefs in targets in back-to-back games and scored at least 23 fantasy points in each of them. What really stands out is that he played 85% of offensive snaps against the Washington Commanders.

Let’s try this again. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is set to start Thursday night in Miami against the Dolphins.

Welcome to the Week 9 fantasy cheat sheet, a one-stop shop for The Athletic ’s game previews, injury and weather updates, and expert analysis.
