Fantasy Football Week 9: Quarterbacks to Start and Sit
An analysis of quarterbacks for Week 9, including which players to start and which to avoid.
Jordan Love: A Possible Standout
I’m eager to see which Jordan Love we witness in Week 9 versus the Panthers. In Week 8, he scored a remarkable 34.3 Fantasy points versus Pittsburgh, but he previously faltered with 16.9 points or fewer against Cincinnati and Arizona. Love has recorded three games this season with more than 19.9 Fantasy points, especially when throwing at least 30 passes.
Translation: Love has the potential to shine but may falter without enough pass attempts.
Matthew Stafford: High Expectations
Stafford heads into Week 9 coming off a five-touchdown performance against Jacksonville. His expected return of Puka Nacua could boost his performance, particularly against a less formidable New Orleans defense.
Translation: Stafford shows great promise in this matchup.
Jared Goff: Steady Performance
Goff is coming off a disappointing outing but looks to bounce back against the Vikings, who have allowed numerous quarterbacks to score well against them.
Translation: Goff is expected to perform better in this matchup.
Kyler Murray: Coming Back Strong
Murray’s injury has sidelined him, but as he faces Dallas’s defense, he could have a strong showing given the Cowboys’ defensive struggles.
Translation: Murray holds significant potential this week.
Daniel Jones: On a Winning Streak
Jones has been impressively consistent, looking to continue his strong form against a vulnerable Steelers team.
Translation: Jones has a chance to maintain his hot streak.
Caleb Williams: The Upset Candidate
After some lackluster weeks, Williams has an excellent opportunity to demonstrate his worth against Cincinnati, which has allowed high Fantasy scores to quarterbacks this season.
Translation: Williams could make a significant comeback this week.
Sam Darnold: In a Favorable Matchup
Darnold has performed well in great matchups, and with Washington ranking poorly against quarterbacks, he could exceed expectations.
Translation: Darnold is positioned for a solid performance this week.
Trevor Lawrence: Staying Relevant
Lawrence has been consistently scoring high, and with the right conditions against the Raiders, he can continue this trend.
Translation: Lawrence’s consistent performance indicates he’ll likely score well.
Conclusion
This week will be crucial as several quarterbacks have the potential to either start strongly or falter based on their matchups.
