Five teams are starting a different quarterback than they planned, and one of them is down to an undrafted rookie third-stringer.Matthew Freedman and Zain Dhanani go game by game through the entire Week 9 slate, all 15 matchups with only the Steelers and Titans on bye, using spreads, implied totals, injury reports and coverage data to sort out who’s actually startable and who you’re better off benching.They open in Madrid with Bengals-Falcons at a 52.5 total, where Joe Burrow has historically been an assassin away from home, outside the division and indoors — all three apply here. Then it’s Raiders-49ers with San Francisco carrying the slate’s highest implied total at 31.25, Cowboys-Colts against a team in full tear-it-down mode after trading DeForest Buckner, and Lions-Dolphins.The quarterback churn is the story. Lamar Jackson’s thumb injury is potentially season-ending and Tyler Huntley is out too, leaving Baltimore likely starting undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano on a short week. Sam Darnold is out in Seattle with Drew Lock stepping in. Deshaun Watson is in concussion protocol and the Browns are preparing Shedeur Sanders. Gardner Minshew takes over in Arizona. And the Eagles are on Joe Milton.Along the way: Tee Higgins outproducing Ja’Marr Chase again, Brock Purdy in an MVP season against the league’s worst run defense, Javonte Williams against a Colts team that just gave up 42, Jameson Williams on elite usage since the bye, Kenneth Walker as a double-digit home favorite, Braelon Allen with Breece Hall’s return still uncertain, Eli Raridon stepping into a gutted Patriots receiver room, Bo Nix under Sean Payton’s play-calling, Kendre Miller off the bye, Woody Marks, Ladd McConkey finally healthy, Makai Lemon as Philadelphia’s de facto No. 1, Rome Odunze, Justin Jefferson indoors, and Brenton Strange as a big favorite.Plus the fades: Mike Gesicki, Kirk Cousins as a double-digit dog, Chig Okonkwo against the league’s best tight end defense, Josh Jacobs on the road, Tetairoa McMillan since the bye, Omarion Hampton, Michael Wilson against Seattle, Caleb Williams, Bucky Irving losing work to Kenneth Gainwell, DJ Moore, Dalton Kincaid, T.J. Hockenson, and Derrick Henry with a rookie third-stringer under center.Then Buccaneers-Bears on Sunday night, Bills-Vikings on Monday, and Jaguars-Ravens on Thursday.If you’ve got a lineup decision you can’t settle, the game is in here.Topics in this video:2026 fantasy football, week 9 start sit, week 9 fantasy football, fantasy football lineup help, Week 9 matchup breakdown, NFL week 9 odds, Bengals Falcons Madrid, Lamar Jackson injury, Joe Fagnano, Drew Lock, Shedeur Sanders, Gardner Minshew, Joe Milton, Tee Higgins, Mike Gesicki, Kyle Pitts, Brock Purdy, Jordan Watkins, Ashton Jeanty, Kirk Cousins, Javonte Williams, Brevyn Spann-Ford, Josh Downs, Sam LaPorta, Jameson Williams, Malik Washington, Malik Willis, Xavier Worthy, Kenneth Walker, Omar Cooper Jr, Braelon Allen, Matthew Stafford, Davis Allen, Jayden Daniels, Chig Okonkwo, Rhamondre Stevenson, Eli Raridon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Jacobs, Jaylen Waddle, Bo Nix, Jalen Coker, Tetairoa McMillan, Tyler Shough, Kendre Miller, Harold Fannin, Quinshon Judkins, Dalton Schultz, Woody Marks, Omarion Hampton, Ladd McConkey, AJ Barner, Tyler Allgeier, Michael Wilson, Devin Singletary, Dallas Goedert, Makai Lemon, Rome Odunze, Caleb Williams, Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving, Dalton Kincaid, DJ Moore, T.J.

Eight weeks in, and most of this one is about players already on your roster.Dwain McFarland and Alex Cupps go through the Week 8 Utilization Report — snaps, routes, rush share, target share — and turn it into the specific moves to make this week, on waivers and in the trade market.They open with Jonah Coleman and Bhayshul Tuten, then get into two full receiver rooms worth sorting out: the Commanders without Terry McLaurin, and the Panthers. Along the way it’s Jameson Williams, DJ Moore, Tee Higgins, Ashton Jeanty, Parker Washington, Zay Flowers, Ollie Gordon, Carnell Tate, Quinshon Judkins, Derrick Henry, Michael Wilson and Tony Pollard — a list that’s heavier on established starters than on names sitting on waivers.Then the back half turns into the rapid-fire Week 9 waiver roundup. Jordyn Tyson and Adonai Mitchell at receiver, Mike Washington, Devin Singletary and Emmett Johnson at running back, Malik Willis at quarterback, Ryan Flournoy, and Eli Raridon at tight end.The Utilization Report is brought to you by Tenex.ai.

Week 8 Game-By-Game Preview: Rankings, Projections, Matchups & More
samedi 31 octobre 2026 • Durée 02:59:48
Matthew Freedman is downgrading Jahmyr Gibbs. That should tell you how strange Week 8 is.
Freedman and Zain Dhanani go game by game through the entire Week 8 slate, all 14 matchups with the 49ers, Saints, Giants and Texans on bye, using spreads, implied totals, injury reports and coverage data to sort out who’s actually startable and who you’re better off benching.
They open with Cardinals-Cowboys, where Dallas carries the slate’s highest implied total at 30.75 against a Cardinals defense ranked last in pass DVOA. Then Ravens-Bills at another 54.5 total with Lamar Jackson’s status still unresolved, Titans-Bengals where Cincinnati is a slate-best 10.5-point home favorite, Colts-Jaguars, and Vikings-Lions.
Along the way: Dak Prescott in the best spot on the board, George Pickens against a Cardinals defense that plays zone 84% of the time, Chase Brown as Zain’s RB7 against Freedman’s RB15, Tee Higgins outproducing Ja’Marr Chase, Trevor Lawrence off the bye in the league’s best home environment, Sam LaPorta bouncing back, Jordan Mason with Aaron Jones hurt, Chris Godwin if both Emeka Egbuka and Billy Bowman sit, Breece Hall if he’s cleared, Kyren Williams, Drake Maye in the middle of a four-game top-five run, Travis Kelce, DK Metcalf in the Cleveland rematch, Chuba Hubbard against the league’s worst run defense, Rachaad White as Washington’s lead back, Makai Lemon if Philadelphia’s receivers stay out, and Savion Williams getting a real look in Green Bay.
Plus the fades: Derrick Henry until Lamar practices in full, Mark Andrews, Jonathan Taylor in a likely bust spot, Jahmyr Gibbs against a Vikings defense that held him to 4.9 points per game last season, Kyle Pitts, Drake London, Ashton Jeanty’s declining usage, Ladd McConkey, Patrick Mahomes for the third straight week, Courtland Sutton, Quinshon Judkins, Aaron Rodgers, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, and Bryce Young.
Then Eagles-Commanders on Sunday night, Bears-Seahawks on Monday, and Panthers-Packers on Thursday.
If you’ve got a lineup decision you can’t settle, the game is in here.

Three young pass catchers broke out, a superstar receiver is getting downgraded, and the waiver wire has rookie fever.Dwain McFarland and Alex Cupps go through the Week 7 Utilization Report — snaps, routes, rush share, target share — and turn it into the specific moves to make this week, on waivers and in the trade market.They start with the upgrades. KC Concepcion and Omar Cooper Jr. are both climbing at receiver, and Colston Loveland finally gives Chicago something at tight end. At running back it’s Ollie Gordon, Josh Jacobs, and the Denver backfield where Jonah Coleman is still sitting on waivers.Then the downgrades, and one of them is going to be unpopular. Chase Brown is sliding at running back. And Justin Jefferson — yes, that Justin Jefferson — is getting marked down, with the question being whether the schedule can bail him out.The back half is the waiver roundup, and it’s heavy on rookies. Priority adds in Antonio Williams, Seth McGowan, Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane, whose role just grew. Then the should-be-rostered tier with Chig Okonkwo at tight end and Dylan Sampson and Caleb Douglas worth stashing. Plus Kaelon Black as a short-term option.They close in the trade market: a buy-low case on Nico Collins, and a sell-high look at Cam Skattebo.The Utilization Report is brought to you by Tenex.ai.
