Bloomberg Sports NFL Week Nine Fantasy Preview
Rob Shaw and Michele Steele from Bloomberg Sports discuss a few "hidden jewels" for fantasy football owners for the ninth week of the 2010 National Football League season. Shaw advises that Troy Smith of the 49ers has played well in London against the Broncos and could be a good pick-up for the week.
