Fantasy Lineup Advice: Week 9
Finding the right fantasy football sit-and-start advice can be challenging, as it is highly dependent on your specific league. However, we have some recommendations for Week 9 that may help. Good luck with your lineups!
Sit: Alexander Mattison
Start: Kyle Pitts
Last week, Alexander Mattison took back the leading role in the Minnesota Vikings’ backfield, but he struggled against the Green Bay Packers’ run defense. With a low yards-per-carry average and a tough matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, it may be best to sit Mattison this week. On the other hand, Kyle Pitts, the top tight end in air yards, is expected to benefit from an upgraded quarterback situation and could see extra targets due to Drake London’s injury. Pitts has a favorable matchup against the Minnesota Vikings and should be started.
Sit: Tyler Lockett
Start: Gus Edwards
Tyler Lockett has been underperforming this season, and with a hamstring injury and a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens’ defense, it is best to sit him this week. On the other hand, Gus Edwards has been consistently performing well and will likely see a significant number of touches. With a favorable matchup against the Seattle Seahawks’ weak defense, Edwards should be started.
Sit: All Cardinals
Start: Amari Cooper
The Arizona Cardinals are facing a tough matchup against the Cleveland Browns, who have a strong defense. It is best to sit all Cardinals players this week. On the other hand, Amari Cooper, despite the uncertainty at quarterback, has been performing well this season. With a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, Cooper should be started.
Start: Darrell Henderson Jr.
Sit: Christian Watson
With the Los Angeles Rams likely to rely heavily on the run game this week, Darrell Henderson Jr. is a strong start. He has been consistently performing well and has a favorable matchup against the Green Bay Packers’ defense. On the other hand, Christian Watson’s fantasy value has taken a hit due to a change in quarterback, and he is facing a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Rams’ defense. It is best to sit Watson this week.
Start: Cade Otton, Nico Collins
Cade Otton is a sleeper pick this week, as he has a favorable matchup against the Houston Texans, who have struggled against tight ends. Nico Collins has been performing well and has a favorable matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ defense. Both Otton and Collins should be started in fantasy lineups this week.
Start: Terry McLaurin, Mac Jones
Terry McLaurin has been seeing a high number of targets and has a favorable matchup against the New England Patriots’ defense. Mac Jones, despite being a lesser-known quarterback, has a favorable matchup against the Washington Football Team’s struggling defense. Both McLaurin and Jones should be started this week.
Start in DFS: Alvin Kamara ($31)
Alvin Kamara has been relying on volume in terms of fantasy points and has a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears’ defense. He should be started in DFS lineups this week.
Start in DFS: Jonathan Taylor ($27), Chuba Hubbard ($16)
Jonathan Taylor has been performing well and has a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers’ defense. Chuba Hubbard has emerged as the lead back for the Panthers and has a favorable matchup against the New England Patriots’ defense. Both Taylor and Hubbard are strong DFS options this week.
