Raiders Show Grit Against Chiefs, Bengals Struggle On

Week 9 NFL Preview: Las Vegas Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals with Betting Insights
The Raiders travel to face the Bengals in Week 9, and it’s a matchup that holds high stakes, especially for Cincinnati. While the Raiders find themselves navigating a challenging season, they put up a surprising offensive showing against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. On the other side, the Bengals need to rack up wins if they hope to secure a playoff berth. With key players potentially sidelined, here’s how the game could unfold for fantasy managers and bettors alike.
<hr />
<h3>Raiders Offense: Can Josh Jacobs and Jakobi Meyers Carry the Load?</h3>
Despite a rocky season, the Raiders offense looked surprisingly competent last week. Running back Alexander Mattison and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers remain their most reliable fantasy options, with Jacobs providing steady touches and Meyers filling the WR2 role effectively. But with Cincinnati’s defense focusing on limiting Jacobs and Meyers, there’s some risk for both in this matchup.
Fantasy Outlook and Betting Angle 
Mattison is a must-start in fantasy due to his volume, but in betting, consider his under on rushing yards if the Bengals can bottle him up. Meanwhile, Meyers could offer value on a receptions over prop, as he may see more targets if Cincinnati focuses on limiting Mattison. Despite the tough matchup, Meyers remains a solid WR2 play for fantasy.
<hr />
<h3>Bengals’ Struggles with Injuries: Joe Burrow and Ja&#8217;Marr Chase Take Center Stage</h3>
The Bengals have been plagued by injuries this season, with T. Higgins and Zach Moss both questionable for Week 9. This leaves Joe Burrow and Ja&#8217;Marr Chase as the clear focal points. Chase has been one of the few constants for Cincinnati, and Burrow will likely target him heavily, especially if Higgins is sidelined.
Fantasy Outlook and Betting Angle 
Chase is a WR1 lock in fantasy, and for bettors, an anytime touchdown scorer bet on Chase could be profitable. Burrow, despite injury concerns, should be a safe start in fantasy leagues. Look for passing yards over props on Burrow, as he’ll likely be throwing frequently in this game. With Cincinnati in a must-win situation, expect a high-volume passing attack.
<hr />
<h3>Breakout Watch: Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin for Cincinnati?</h3>
Without T. Higgins, Cincinnati’s receiving corps will need a secondary option to step up. Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin have shown flashes, but both come with a fair amount of risk. If Higgins is out, Irwin might be a solid DFS value play, while Iosivas could be a speculative add for deep leagues.
DFS Recommendations
<ul>
<li>Trenton Irwin: If Higgins is out, he’s a low-cost DFS option with upside.</li>
<li>Andrei Iosivas: A risky choice but could see targets if Cincinnati needs more depth.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3>Game Flow Prediction: Will the Bengals Dominate?</h3>
The Bengals are in a must-win scenario, and with home-field advantage, they should be able to control the tempo. However, if the Raiders can replicate their Week 8 offensive performance, they could keep it close.
Betting Insight 
If betting the spread, consider the Raiders to cover as underdogs if they play as well as they did against Kansas City. On the other hand, the total points over could be worth a look, as both teams are capable of scoring, especially if the Bengals go pass-heavy.
<hr />
<h3>Betting Recap</h3>
<ol>
<li>Mattison (Raiders) &#8211; Rushing Yards Under</li>
<li>Meyers (Raiders) &#8211; Receptions Over</li>
<li>Chase (Bengals) &#8211; Anytime Touchdown Scorer</li>
<li>Burrow (Bengals) &#8211; Passing Yards Over</li>
</ol>
The Bengals may need an offensive push to stay playoff-relevant, making this matchup an intriguing one for bettors and fantasy managers alike. Enjoy the action in Week 9!
