Joe Burrow said it’s “doable” for the Bengals to go on a 7-2 run to finish with 10 wins and make the playoffs. A Cincinnati stack of Burrow with Ja’Marr Chase is often a popular NFL DFS strategy. After all, Chase is the WR1 in Fantasy football, while Burrow is the QB4 this season. Should you spend up for these two Bengals in Week 9 NFL DFS lineups in a matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders (2-6)? Building NFL DFS stacks is a popular approach toward forming NFL DFS picks and the main slate of the Week 9 NFL schedule offers the chance to stack players like Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown, Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill, or Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. Before making any NFL DFS picks for Sunday or locking in NFL DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out SportsLine’s advanced NFL DFS Lineup Optimizer.

Now, SportsLine’s NFL DFS Optimizer has turned its attention to Sunday’s 2024 NFL Week 9 schedule and just locked in its top daily Fantasy football lineups. You can only see its optimal lineups at SportsLine.
Top NFL Week 9 DFS picks for Sunday
One of the Optimizer’s top DFS value picks for Sunday is Dolphins running back De’Von Achane ($6,700 on DraftKings and $7,800 FanDuel). The second-year running back clearly missed having Tua Tagovailoa back leading the offense as the presence of one of the better quarterbacks in the league forced the Cardinals to respect the pass more than previous opponents did with Tagovailoa out with a concussion. Achane rushed for 97 yards on 10 carries (9.7 yards per rush) with six receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown on eight receptions last week for a huge performance for NFL DFS lineups.
The 23-year-old had 165 total yards in Week 2 with Tagovailoa at quarterback as the running back has posted more than 145 yards in two of his three games with Miami’s QB1 this season. Achane was RB5 in Fantasy football on a points-per-game basis last season so when he and Tagovailoa are on the field together, Achane can be a tournament winner for NFL DFS players. The Dolphins play the Bills, who rank 27th in yards per rush this season, and Achane’s 165-yard game in Week 2 came against Buffalo.
The Optimizer’s NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Bears receiver D.J. Moore ($6,500 on DraftKings and $6,600 FanDuel). Moore is coming off a pair of dud Fantasy performances but will face just the defense that can get him back on track. Chicago takes on Arizona, who ranks 24th or worse in points allowed, yards allowed and passing defense. Just six teams have allowed more receiving yards to opposing wideouts, and over their last five games, the Cards have allowed five touchdowns to wide receivers, as well as given up 45-plus receiving yards to 10 wideouts.
Even with the additions of Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze, Moore is still Chicago’s No. 1 as he leads the team in targets, receptions, yards and touchdowns. Additionally, he’s drawn as many redzone targets (10) as Allen and Odunze combined, as Caleb Williams is looking his way often. Arizona has given up the third-highest completion percentage in 2024, so defending through the air is a clear weakness, so look for Chicago to attack its secondary, with Moore benefitting from that offensive approach.
