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.

De grootste Ethereum (ETH) treasury ter wereld, BitMine Immersion Technologies, heeft weer toegeslagen op de crypto markt.

Zo blijkt uit on-chain gegevens gedeeld door Lookonchain op X. Daarmee tilt de grote Ethereum treasury zijn voorraad naar maar liefst 3,63 miljoen ETH ter waarde van ruim $11 miljard, aldus data van StrategicETHReserve. Daarmee controleert het bedrijf nu 3% van alle Ethereum in omloop. Tom Lee(@fundstrat)’s #Bitmine just bought another 14,618 $ETH($44.34M) 4 hours ago.https://t.co/P684j5Yil8 pic.twitter.com/LHOpDto1R5 — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) November 28, 2025 De ambities liggen desondanks een stuk hoger: BitMine wil uiteindelijk 5% van de volledige ETH voorraad bezitten. Oftewel, we kunnen nog flink wat Ethereum aankopen verwachten van het bedrijf in de komende maanden. Door de aggresssieve ETH strategie van het bedrijf zijn ze bij uitstek de grootste Ethereum reserve. De nummer twee, SharpLink Gaming, bezit ongeveer 859.400 ETH munten ter waarde van zo’n $2,62 miljard. Deze agressieve uitbreiding volgt een duidelijke strategie. BitMine verwacht dat Ethereum een grotere rol in de tokenisatie. Bedrijven bezitten samen al bijna 5,01% van alle ETH, een signaal dat corporates zich voorbereiden op een toekomst waarin Ethereum een basislaag wordt voor financiële infrastructuur. Waarom BitMine zijn treasury blijft uitbreiden BitMine bouwt zijn treasury verder uit omdat het een dominante positie in het Ethereum netwerk wil innemen. Meer ETH geeft BitMine straks hogere staking-opbrengsten en meer invloed op de liquiditeit binnen het netwerk. Ook gelooft BMNR sterk in de rol van Ethereum in de toekomst van financiële infrastructuur. Bestuurslid Tom Lee verwacht dat ETH een dominante speler zal zijn in de stablecoin en tokenisatie markt. Beide sectoren zijn hard aan het groeien, mede dankzij duidelijke wet- en regelgeving onder de Trump administratie zoals de GENIUS Act. Daarnaast gelooft Tom Lee in een zogeheten supercycle voor ETH. Volgens de bekende top analist kan de grootste altcoin zelfs Bitcoin (BTC) voorbijstreven, allemaal dankzij grootschalige adoptie door tokenisatie. Als Ethereum de huidige marketcap van BTC wil evenaren dan zou de ETH koers al op ruim $15.000 komen. ETH en BMNR krabbelen langzaam op uit diepe dip De ethereum prijs reageerde vandaag beperkt op het nieuws. De altcoin steeg over de afgelopen 24 uur met 0,8% tot een huidige koers van $3.050. Daarmee zet de munt samen met de rest van de crypto markt een stijgende trend voort. Na een heftige crash in de afgelopen weken zakte de ETH koers vorige week vrijdag tot onder de $2.700. Ook het BMNR aandeel is langzaam aan het terugkrabbelen. Het ETH treasury bedrijf zakte vorige week tot $26. Een flinke crash ten opzichte van de all time high van $135 dat het bedrijf in juli van dit jaar nog wist te realiseren. De sterke daling van het BMNR aandeel valt samen met een algehele neerwaartse trend onder crypto treasury bedrijven. Ook Strategy, de grootste publieke Bitcoin houder, is ook flink lager aan het handelen vanaf zijn all time. Zo staat het MSTR aandeel momenteel op $175 tegenover een prijs record van $457 in juli.

The Next Bitcoin Story Of 2025

The post The Next Bitcoin Story Of 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 07:39 Bitcoin’s rise from obscure concept to a global asset is the playbook every serious investor pores over, and it still isn’t done writing; Bitcoin now trades above $115,000, a reminder that the life-changing runs begin before most people are even looking. T The question hanging over this cycle is simple: can a new contender compress that arc, faster, cleaner, earlier, while the window is still open for those willing to move first? Coins still on presales are the ones can repeat this story, and among those coins, an Ethereum based meme coin catches most of the attention, as it’s team look determined to make an impact in today’s market, fusing culture with working tools, with a design built to reward early movers rather than late chasers. If you’re hunting the next asymmetric shot, this is where momentum and mechanics meet, which is why many traders quietly tag this exact meme coin as the best crypto to buy now in a crowded market. Before we dive deeper, take a quick rewind through the case study every crypto desk knows by heart: how Bitcoin went from about $0.0025 to above $100,000, and turned a niche experiment into the story that still sets the bar for everything that follows. Bitcoin 2010-2025 Price History Back to first principles: a strange internet money appears in 2010 and then, step by step, rewires the entire market, Bitcoin’s arc from about $0.0025 to above $100,000 is the case study every desk still cites because it proves one coin can move the entire game.
