Tight Ends
Only a couple tight ends are projected for solid fantasy showings in week 9.
T.J. Hockenson is projected for 11 points against his old team, the Lions. He's owned in 87% of fantasy leagues right now.
Mark Andrews is the only other tight end projected for double-digit points who is available in at least 10% of leagues. He's set for 10 points against the Dolphins and is owned in 81% of leagues.

If Brock Purdy plays, he's projected for a big week against the Giants. He's set at 19 points right now, and is owned in 69% of leagues.
Jared Goff is at 87% rostered going into a matchup against the Vikings. He's set for 18 points in that contest.
Kyler Murray is another QB looking to return from an injury. He's owned in 69% of leagues as well, but is projected for 17 points against the Cowboys.
Bryce Young is another injured quarterback to watch the status of. He's projected for 16 points against the Packers, and is rostered in only 16% of leagues.
C.J. Stroud is another QB projected for 16 points, but against the Broncos, who are a very tough matchup. He's rostered in 68% of leagues.
J.J. McCarthy is another injured QB hoping to return this week. He's set for 15 points against the Lions, and is down to 26% rostered.

Michael Penix is another injured quarterback - he hopes to play in week 9 against the Patriots. He's set for 15 points as well.
Matthew Stafford is rostered in 82% of leagues and is set for 15 points against the Saints. He's more trustworthy than a lot of the other QBs projected for 15 or 16 points, so he'd be the choice for me.
