With another week of exciting NFL action nearly in the books, it's time to guess who we think will earn TOTW 9 honors. With his name in the discussion for MVP and after a 3 touchdown performance in a 30-20 win over the Titans, Legend and I think this will be Christian McCaffrey's week for an upgrade with a new LTD item. For Hero on offense this week, we're predicting Tyreek Hill will earn the honor after a close win against the Vikings that saw him grab 6 catches for 140 yards and a touchdown. Recording his fourth interception since joining the Steelers and taking it 96 yards for the touchdown, our prediction for defensive Hero this week is Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Based on performance and current MUT items, here are our full predictions for Team of the Week 9:

Offense

• LTD Christian McCaffrey (166 total yds, 3 TDs)
• HERO Tyreek Hill (6 catches, 140 yds, 1 TD)
• Ryan Fitzpatrick (288 pass yds, 3 TDs)
• Devin Singletary (140 total yds, 1 TD)
• Jimmy Garoppolo (317 pass yds, 4 TDs)
• Kenyan Drake (162 total yds, 1 TD)
• Jacob Hollister (4 catches, 37 yds, 2 TDs)
• Preston Williams (5 catches, 72 yds, 2 TDs)

Defense

• HERO Minkah Fitzpatrick (7 tackles, 1 INT, 1 TD)
• Bud Dupree (2 sacks, 1 FF, 1 FR)
• Shaq Thompson (11 tackles, 3 TFL, 1 sack)
• Christian Wilkins (5 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 sack)
• Patrick Onwuasor (8 tackles, 1 sack, 1 FF)
• Brennan Scarlett (2 sacks, 1 TFL, 1 FF)
• Mike Hughes (6 tackles, 1 FF, 1 FR)

Please keep in mind these are simply our personal predictions and that none of these players are guaranteed to earn a Team of the Week item. Also, players from tonight's Monday Night Football game are eligible for TOTW too. If you think players from Dallas or the New York Giants will have a breakout game, feel free to include them in your predictions.

Special thanks to Legend69 for helping with this week's predictions.
