Week 9 Preview: Start, Sits, Sleepers, and Busts!

In this episode, we dive deep into the top starts, sits, sleepers, and busts for Week 9 of the fantasy football season.

Quarterbacks
We’re highlighting Matthew Stafford as a top start after a strong performance last week. With key offensive players returning, he’s set to capitalize against a Seattle defense that has struggled against QBs. Conversely, Tua Tagovailoa is on the sit list, facing a tough Bills defense that has stifled his production in previous matchups.

Running Backs 
Look for D’Andre Swift to shine against Arizona, which has allowed several running backs to thrive this season. On the flip side, Tank Bigsby is a candidate to bench, as the Eagles’ run defense has proven to be formidable post-bye.

Wide Receivers 
We’re excited about Devonta Smith and Chris Olave in favorable matchups that could lead to big fantasy points. Meanwhile, Jordan Addison is a sit due to limited targets with Hockenson returning to the lineup.

Tight Ends 
David Njoku has been a target magnet and is poised for success against the Chargers, while Hunter Henry faces a daunting Titans defense that limits tight end production, making him a risky play this week.

Kickers and Defense/Special Teams
Will Reichard is a solid kicker choice with consistent scoring potential, whereas Saints DST looks to capitalize against a struggling Panthers offense. On the contrary, Jason Sanders and Packers DST face tough matchups that may hinder their fantasy outputs.
