NFL Week 9 Start/Sit Quarterbacks
Week 9 Start/Sit: Quarterbacks
We’re heading into the second half of the fantasy season, and every lineup call matters more than ever.
By FullTime Fantasy
Start
Dak Prescott
Crazy to even have to tell you this but Dak has weapons, and when Dak has time to throw, look out. Arizona picks up sacks at the fifth-lowest rate in the NFL. They create pressure at a below-average rate, as well.
Matthew Stafford
Stafford enters Week 9 coming off a five-touchdown performance against Jacksonville in London, and that was without Puka Nacua, who is expected back. Stafford has eclipsed 31.5 fantasy points in three of his last four games. Five quarterbacks have already posted 21.5 or more against New Orleans. Stafford should keep rolling.
Sit
Bo Nix
It feels risky to bench Nix after the past two weeks, but Houston has been the toughest matchup for fantasy quarterbacks. The Texans have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to the position, the fourth-fewest passing yards, and more interceptions than touchdowns allowed. No quarterback has produced a top-12 finish against them all season. Streaming someone else this week is the better play.
Aaron Rodgers
Rodgers has been solid lately, topping 20 points in three straight, but his ceiling is capped this week. Indianapolis has allowed four quarterbacks to post 24.7+ points, but Rodgers has only hit that mark twice all year. He’s still fine in Superflex formats, but his one-QB upside is limited.
