SIX Teams on Bye This Weekend

Week 9 is not going to be kind to anyone. You won't have the ability to play any of Jerry Jones' Cowboys, nor any Browns, Broncos, Giants, Steelers or 49ers. Get them out of your lineups for Week 9, players. Remember, you'll have the waiver wire run tonight and Sunday morning to fix those lineup holes. Good luck!
