Eddie Brown's fantasy football adds and drops for Week 9

I can't recall a NFL trade deadline as active as the one we just witnessed.

The results will impact all fantasy leagues in one way or the other.

My thoughts:

Jay Ajayi's season gets a reboot with his trade to Philly. Maybe he can finally score a touchdown. LeGarrette Blount's value plummets, but he's still worth a handcuff. Wendell Smallwood can be dropped.

Kenyan Drake is a very talented running back who should get the lion's share of carries in Miami. Damien Williams could have value in PPR leagues.

Kelvin Benjamin's value is unchanged going to a conservative pass attack like Buffalo.

Devin Funchess is now Cam Newton's No. 1 target in Carolina. An already career breakthrough should continue to gain momentum. Rookie Curtis Samuel could finally have some value.

Jimmy Garopollo could start by Week 10 against Giants. Probably no later than after the bye against the Seahawks at home. There's a lot of moving parts here, but he's worth a speculative add if you're struggling with the position.

Here's my best bets for Week 9:
