WEEK 9 · FAAB FIELD GUIDE
Separate the weekly projection from the long-term bet.
Our editorial planning range: 3–6% of your starting budget. Use the role and roster conditions below before bidding.
PUT IT IN YOUR BUDGET
12-team PPR redraft; one QB unless Superflex is selected. Percentages refer to the original season budget. Your remaining funds limit what you can actually spend.
Douglas is worth comparing with the other available receivers rather than valuing solely from his latest box score. The live FF estimate below describes this week; a lasting addition also needs a role you expect to use later.
Spend less if you are buying a boom-or-bust reserve and cannot afford the drop required to make room.
A larger bid needs both ongoing opportunities and a clear place in your starting lineup.
Starting budget: $100 · Remaining: $100
WHAT YOU ARE BUYING

Ownership across leagues does not tell us whether he is free in yours. A big game can create demand without creating a lasting job. Compare expected opportunities, the weeks you need covered and the value of the player you would drop.
A larger bid needs both ongoing opportunities and a clear place in your starting lineup.
Spend less if you are buying a boom-or-bust reserve and cannot afford the drop required to make room. An unused bench upgrade is worth less than a player who actually changes your starting lineup.
