Fantasy football: Week 9 pickups

Sometimes it just doesn’t work out. I have a deep league where I’ve done everything I can to stay competitive. We’ve had bad breaks and a postseason berth is looking unlikely since only a third of the league makes the playoffs. What am I going to do about it? Well, I’m going to keep setting my lineup, keep plugging away and hope for the best. It’s the least I can do for the good of the league. I mention this because I’ve seen some teams at the bottom of leagues failing to set lineups or stay competitive in any way. Lame! Do the league a favor and set your lineup. And if you need help, look no further than this week’s free agent pickups. -- Matthew Wood
