Brenton Strange gets the spotlight in Jaguars vs Ravens, while Travis Kelce, Trey McBride and a deeply unsexy Kyle Pitts pick lead the NFL Week 9 player props. Stephie Smalls and Ryan McKee break down Thursday Night Football best bets and early Sunday receiving yards, receptions and touchdown angles for Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season. Add Minshew Mania, backup-quarterback misery and a tight end parlay that keeps growing, and we’ve got ourselves a show.

The Jacksonville Jaguars–Baltimore Ravens breakdown covers Brenton Strange’s receiving yards, longest reception and touchdown props; Zay Flowers receptions; Josh Cuevas’ receiving outlook; and Trevor Lawrence passing touchdowns. Justice Hill draws interest without an official pick, and Bhayshul Tuten’s injury discussion somehow turns into the birth of the “Tooth Fairy.”

Sunday’s card features Kyle Pitts against the Cincinnati Bengals, Trey McBride’s connection with Gardner Minshew, Greg Dulcich against the Detroit Lions, Colston Loveland’s opportunity with Cole Kmet sidelined, and Travis Kelce against the New York Jets. Chuba Hubbard and Bryce Young take us to Checkdown City as the Carolina Panthers face the Denver Broncos, with Hubbard’s Green Bay Packers targets part of the discussion. Gunnar Helm, Brock Bowers, T.J. Hockenson and Rashee Rice also enter the matchup and usage debates.

The Arizona Cardinals quarterback conversation covers Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck, plus Michael Wilson and the Dallas Cowboys recap. There’s also a New York Giants detour, a Tennessee Titans cover to revisit and Jacksonville’s Indianapolis Colts game to discuss. The Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders round out the schedule and matchup conversation.
