Welcome to the halfway point of the NFL season (and more than halfway for the fantasy football season). Hopefully, your season-long fantasy football teams have survived injuries, bye weeks, and bad matchups.

But whether you are hitting the waiver wire hard or riding with what got you here, matchups are paramount. We are now starting to see what NFL teams are made of, giving us a better idea of what matchups look good and what matchups to avoid. So, let’s get to it. Remember this week, the Cleveland Browns, the New York Jets, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on their bye week.

Best/Worst Quarterback Matchup Week 9

Best Quarterback Matchup Week 9, Caleb Williams @ Cincinnati Bengals, Bears -2.5, 52.5 o/u

Honestly, there are several excellent matchups this week, including Justin Herbert at Tennessee, Sam Darnold at Washington, and Jared Goff at home against the Minnesota Vikings.

But this is about Williams and the Bears. The Bengals’ defense rushes four at one of the lowest rates while also (no surprise) having one of the lowest pressure rates (24th in the league). They recorded 11 sacks (T28th) and are giving up 407.9 average passing yards per game.

Williams has had his issues; his 3.01 time to throw is the most in the league. He is fourth in interceptable passes (10) and third in putting the ball in danger (2.0%).

The good news is that against a clean pocket, Williams’ completion percentage is 70.7% versus 47.1% when pressured. Against the Bengals, pressure is rarely an issue. There have been glimpses of Williams and Ben Johnson finding a rhythm. The Bengals are just the defense to help them find their sway.

Worst Quarterback Matchup Week 9, C.J. Stroud v Denver Broncos, 39.5 o/u

This line has moved from the Broncos being a 1.5-point road favorite to the Texans now being a 1.5-point home favorite. Either way, Stroud is going to see a very different defense than he did last week. The Broncos’ defense is top-three in most statistical categories. This includes sacks 36 (Texans opponent last week, the San Francisco Niners have nine). The Broncos also have 22 quarterback hurries and 51 pass defended. This is against the Texans’ offensive line that currently ranks 28th in pass block win rate, per ESPN analytics.

When you think of Stroud (and you will), don’t conjure up images of him and his offensive line against the depleted Niners; think of him and his offensive line in their Week 7 Monday night game against the Seattle Seahawks. That will give you a more accurate representation of what he will be up against on Sunday.

Best/Worst Running Back Matchups Week 9

Best Running Back Matchup Week 9, Kimani Vidal @ Tennessee Titans, Chargers -9.5, 42.5 o/u

Per fantasypros.com, since Week 6, Vidal has been RB10 in fantasy points per game. He is averaging 19.4 touches and 100 total yards. Vidal ranks third in explosive run rate and 14th in yards after contact per attempt. This week, he will go against a Titans’ defense that has allowed the fourth-highest yards before contact and the 13th-highest explosive rate (runs of 10+ yards).

In a game the Chargers should control, Vidal’s already impressive stats could be padded.

Worst Running Backs Matchup Week 9, Rico Dowdle/Chuba Hubbard @ Green Bay Packers, Packers -11.5, 44.5 o/u

First, there is the conundrum of what running back to roster. Last week, Dowdle had a 40.3% snap share while Hubbard had a 56.6%. Dowdle had two red zone rushing attempts, and Hubbard had four. In the last two games, Dowdle has averaged 13 touches to Hubbard’s 14.

And after you decide which running back you are going to roll with, then you have to contend with the Packers’ run defense. The Packers are giving up the third fewest rushing yards per game (78.9). They are also allowing the third fewest yards after contact per attempt and have the fourth lowest explosive run rate allowed.

Best/Worst Wide Receiver Matchups Week 9

Best Wide Receiver Matchup Week 9, Wan’Dale Robinson v San Francisco Niners, Niners -2.5, 48.5 o/u

Once again, there are great matchups this week in the wide receiver position. Puka Nauca is expected back and basically matchup proof, Keenan Allen versus two-high, and Kayshon Boutte versus single high.

But this is about the Cam Skattebo-less New York Giants. It is literally next man up in the Giants universe, and while it may seem like it should be Tyrone Tracy, perhaps it is Robinson. Robinson is on the field for an 88.0% snap share and has a 23.7% target share. Now he goes against a Niners defense that employs single high at the seventh highest rate (60.6%). Meanwhile, Robinson against single high has a 19% target per route run, which is the second most on the team.

And oh yeah, Robinson runs 62.6% of his routes out of the slot. The Niners have allowed the third-most receiving yards and the fourth-most PPR points per target to slot receivers.

Worst Wide Receiver Matchup Week 9, Courtland Sutton @ Houston Texans, 39.5 o/u

Sutton will likely receive shadow coverage from the Texans’ Derek Stingley, who has not allowed a touchdown in his coverage and only has one receiver collect more than five yards against him. In addition, his secondary mates, Jalen Pitre and Kamari Lassiter, make up the only trio to have at least two interceptions and five passes so far this season. Sutton had a bad showing last week against a subpar Dallas Cowboys defense.Now, Sutton (and fantasy managers) have to worry about his quarterback having the time and fortitude to throw the ball down the field. The Texans are currently sixth in pressure rate and pass rush win rate. And then he should be concerned with the aforementioned secondary that has allowed the 10th fewest yards per game to wide receivers (135.7) and the fourth-fewest PPR fantasy points per game to the position.

Best/Worst Tight End Matchups Week 9

Best Tight End Matchup Week 9, Tyler Warren @ Pittsburgh Steelers, Colts -3.5, 49.5 o/u

This isn’t only about the outstanding year Warren is having. Among tight ends, he is:

  • 9th in routes run, 27.6 p/g
  • 5th in first read targets, 4.4 p/g
  • 5th in receptions, 4.6 p/g
  • 4th in target share, 20.8
  • 4th in red zone targets, 9
  • 2nd in yards after catch, 5.9 p/tgt
  • 1st in receiving yards per game, 61.5

Stats courtesy playerprofiler.com

Nope, this is also about what the most expensive defense in the league has allowed in their past three games against the tight end position.

Last week, Tucker Kraft collected 143 yards and two touchdowns against the Steelers. Noah Fant also saw the endzone in Week 7 against the Steelers, getting four receptions on four targets for 44 yards and the touchdown. And even the Cleveland Browns’ rookie tight end, Harold Fannin, led the team in receptions against the Steelers with 81 yards on seven receptions in Week 6.

Yep, this is about one of the best tight end versus defense matchups of the week.

Worst Tight End Matchup Week 9, Hunter Henry v Atlanta Falcons, Patriots -5.5, 45.5 o/u

The Falcons are a (to quote 1991 film JFK) “ mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma”. So, this depends on what Falcons defense we get in Week 9. Will it be the one that has allowed the fewest yards per game (15.0) and fewest fantasy points per game (2.0) to the tight end position? Or will it be the one that surrendered four receiving touchdowns to four different Miami Dolphins players last week?

It should also be noted that although Henry got a touchdown last week (and somewhat saved my doomed prediction), it was on his lone target and reception. While fellow tight end Austin Hooper doubled his targets and receptions and collected 38 yards to Henry’s seven.

“The Most Likely Outcome Is One Of An Infinite Number Of Outcomes”~ @LordReebs.

Remember, the only thing certain is uncertainty, and Week 9 is chock full of best and worst matchups. Look at the matchups, listen to the narratives, and get your best positions in your fantasy football lineup.

Good Luck, and play nice.

Wanneer kunnen we een XRP ETF verwachten? Dit lijkt de tijdlijn

De maand oktober bracht geen goed nieuws voor XRP investeerders: ondanks de hoge verwachtingen bleef de goedkeuring van een XRP ETF uit. Maar nu lijkt er een nieuwe, concrete tijdlijn in zicht te komen. Volgens nieuwe documenten en uitspraken van betrokken analisten zou de eerste spot XRP ETF al vanaf 13 november live kunnen gaan, mits alles volgens plan verloopt.

Krijg duidelijke uitleg & charts van ervaren analisten. Sluit je aan bij een community die samen groeit. Nu naar Discord Waarom de goedkeuring vertraging opliep De SEC stond oorspronkelijk op het punt om deze maand te beslissen over meerdere XRP ETF aanvragen van onder meer Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise en Canary Capital. De deadlines stonden gepland tussen 18 en 23 oktober. Toch gebeurde er iets onverwachts: door de lange government shutdown in de VS lag de SEC grotendeels stil. Alleen een kleine groep “essentiële” medewerkers bleef actief om fraudezaken en marktmanipulatie te behandelen. Daarmee kwam ook de afdeling die verantwoordelijk is voor de goedkeuring van nieuwe beleggingsproducten, waaronder de XRP ETF, volledig tot stilstand. 13 november De hoop is nu gevestigd op Canary Capital, dat volgens journalist Eleanor Terrett (Fox Business / Crypto in America) een belangrijke stap heeft gezet. Het bedrijf diende een bijgewerkte S-1-registratie in bij de SEC en verwijderde daarin de zogenaamde “delaying amendment”. Die clausule gaf de SEC controle over het moment waarop een fonds daadwerkelijk van start mocht. Zonder die bepaling treedt de registratie automatisch in werking na 20 dagen, wat betekent dat 13 november het vroegst mogelijke lanceermoment is. Daarbij geldt nog één voorwaarde: Nasdaq moet de bijbehorende Form 8-A goedkeuren, waarmee de ETF officieel wordt toegelaten tot handel. Terrett zegt: “Canary heeft de timing uit handen van de SEC gehaald. Dat is een slimme zet, zeker nu de government shutdown de goedkeuringen vertraagt.” https://twitter.com/EleanorTerrett/status/1983973905896210716 Nieuwe cryptomuntenKom als eerste te weten wat de nieuwste cryptomunten van dit moment zijn!

Ook Bitwise, 21Shares, Grayscale, CoinShares en WisdomTree hebben lopende aanvragen en overwegen volgens bronnen dezelfde auto-effectieve route te gebruiken. Deze aanpak lijkt succes te hebben: zowel Litecoin als Solana ETF’s werden eerder deze week via hetzelfde mechanisme goedgekeurd. Zelfs SEC voorzitter Paul Atkins liet doorschemeren dat hij deze werkwijze steunt. Hij noemde het een “praktische manier om innovatie niet onnodig te blokkeren”. Analisten blijven voorzichtig Toch is niet iedereen overtuigd dat de XRP ETF’s klaar zijn om te lanceren. Eric Balchunas, ETF analist bij Bloomberg, zei dat de XRP aanvragers minder intensief overleg met de SEC hebben gevoerd dan de Solana ETF aanvragers. Volgens hem kan dat een risico vormen: “Bij Solana was er duidelijk meer afstemming. Dat gaf vertrouwen dat de producten klaar waren. Bij XRP ontbreekt dat nog deels.” Balchunas noemt het echter “de moeite waard” dat Canary deze route probeert. November wordt belangrijk Na maanden van onzekerheid lijkt er eindelijk een concreet pad naar goedkeuring voor de XRP ETF’s te ontstaan. Als alles volgens schema verloopt, kan Canary’s spot XRP ETF al vanaf 13 november op Nasdaq worden verhandeld. Dat zou een historisch moment betekenen, niet alleen voor Ripple en de XRP community, maar ook voor de bredere markt van gereguleerde crypto producten.

Massive ETH Transfer: Galaxy Digital Sends $35.8M to New Address

Massive ETH Transfer: Galaxy Digital Sends $35.8M to New Address

BitcoinWorld Massive ETH Transfer: Galaxy Digital Sends $35.8M to New Address The cryptocurrency world is always buzzing with activity, and a recent on-chain event has certainly caught the attention of market observers. We’re talking about a significant ETH transfer involving a major player, Galaxy Digital. This event highlights the dynamic nature of digital asset movements and the growing sophistication of on-chain analytics. What Does This Massive ETH Transfer From Galaxy Digital Mean? According to a detailed report from Onchain-Lense, a new address has just received a substantial amount of Ethereum. Specifically, 9,272 ETH, valued at approximately $35.77 million, was transferred from Galaxy Digital. This kind of large-scale ETH transfer from a prominent institutional firm like Galaxy Digital often signals strategic moves within the crypto ecosystem. Galaxy Digital is a well-known financial services and investment management company specializing in digital assets. Their actions are closely watched, as they can provide insights into broader institutional sentiment and market trends. When such a large sum of Ethereum changes hands, it naturally raises questions about the purpose and the parties involved. Who Are the Suspected Recipients of This ETH Transfer? The mystery surrounding the recipient address adds another layer of intrigue to this transaction. Onchain-Lense’s analysis suggests that the receiving address might be linked to either Bitmine (BMNR) or Sharplink Gaming (SBET). Both are publicly traded entities, albeit in different sectors. Bitmine (BMNR): This company is typically associated with Bitcoin mining operations. A large ETH transfer to such an entity could indicate a diversification of assets, an investment in Ethereum-related projects, or perhaps a treasury management strategy. Sharplink Gaming (SBET): As a Nasdaq-listed company focused on sports betting and iGaming technology, an association with this Ethereum transfer could point towards integration of blockchain technology, expansion into Web3 gaming, or even a strategic investment in the underlying asset. It’s important to remember that these are currently suspicions based on on-chain data analysis. The exact nature of the relationship or the purpose of the transfer remains unconfirmed by the entities themselves. Why Are Large ETH Transfers So Closely Monitored? Large ETH transfers, especially those involving institutional players, are often scrutinized for several reasons. They can provide early indicators of market sentiment, potential investments, or even liquidity management strategies. For example, a significant move could precede a new product launch, a major partnership, or simply a rebalancing of portfolios. On-chain analytics tools, like those used by Onchain-Lense, allow us to track these movements with precision. This transparency is a cornerstone of blockchain technology, enabling a level of insight into financial flows that is often unavailable in traditional markets. Understanding these movements helps investors and analysts anticipate potential market shifts and institutional adoption trends. How Does This ETH Transfer Impact the Broader Market? While a single ETH transfer of this size might not immediately trigger a massive market swing, it contributes to the overall narrative of institutional engagement with Ethereum. As more traditional financial firms and public companies interact with digital assets, it lends credibility and maturity to the crypto space. The potential involvement of entities like Bitmine or Sharplink Gaming further underscores the diverse applications of blockchain technology beyond just speculative trading. It highlights a growing trend where companies are exploring how Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies can integrate into their existing business models or open up new opportunities. This evolution is key to the long-term growth and stability of the crypto market. In conclusion, this substantial ETH transfer from Galaxy Digital to a new address, potentially linked to Bitmine or Sharplink Gaming, is a fascinating development. It reinforces the importance of on-chain monitoring and offers a glimpse into the strategic maneuvers of institutional players in the ever-evolving world of digital assets. Keep an eye on these movements, as they often paint a clearer picture of where the market is headed. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. What is an ETH transfer? An ETH transfer refers to the movement of Ethereum (ETH) cryptocurrency from one blockchain address to another. These transactions are recorded on the Ethereum blockchain, making them publicly verifiable. 2. Who is Galaxy Digital? Galaxy Digital is a diversified financial services and investment management company dedicated to the digital asset, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology sectors. It was founded by Mike Novogratz. 3. How can I track large crypto transfers? Large crypto transfers can be tracked using on-chain analytics platforms and blockchain explorers (like Etherscan for Ethereum). These tools provide real-time data on transactions, addresses, and associated entities. 4. Why are the recipients of this ETH transfer only ‘suspected’? On-chain analysis often relies on patterns, historical data, and known associations to link addresses to specific entities. While highly probable, direct confirmation from the involved parties is sometimes required to move from ‘suspected’ to ‘confirmed’ status. 5. What is the significance of a Nasdaq-listed company receiving ETH? When a Nasdaq-listed company receives a significant amount of ETH, it often signals increasing institutional adoption and integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional business operations. It can suggest treasury management, new product development, or strategic investments. If you found this article insightful, please consider sharing it with your network!
