7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 9
Devontae Booker shined in Week 8 and could play a large role for Denver again this Sunday. What other low-owned options are we looking at for Week 9?

Jakeem Grant, WR, Miami Dolphins

Yahoo! Ownership: 14%

Overshadowed by DeVante Parker's re-emergence, Jakeem Grant saw a promising elevated workload in Week 8.

The fourth-year wideout was one of Osweiler's go-to weapons versus the Texans. Grant was on the field for over 95% of snaps and saw a season-high 8 targets. While he finished with just 4 catches for 36 yards, his total would have been much higher if not for a couple of unlucky bounces.The heavy workload for Grant last week should not disappear on Sunday as Kenny Stills is likely out again -- he has yet to practice this week -- and Miami faces a soft Jets secondary.

The Jets have given up the most catches (129) and the second-most yards (1,535) to wide receivers this season. That has left them allowing the fifth-most PPR points to the position this season. Coupled with Grant's increase in volume, the matchup gives him plenty of upside in Week 9.
