Fantasy Overview - Week 9

Jeff Haseley's Fantasy Overview - Week 9 Jeff Haseley Published 11/02/2022

Week 8 is complete, and the season is already nearing the midpoint. In most fantasy leagues, there are only four or five more weeks left before the playoffs begin. Is your team in a position for a playoff run? Do you need a few more wins to secure a berth? This week I take a look at some streaming options not only for Week 9 but also for the rest of the season. It's always good to look ahead a few weeks for waiver claims or in some cases, four or five games ahead.

QUARTERBACK

Over the last four weeks, Atlanta, Minnesota, Kansas City, and Pittsburgh have averaged at least 300-plus passing yards allowed per game. To narrow down the ultimate opponent exploit, Pittsburgh is also allowing 2.5 touchdown passes per game in that span. Las Vegas is up there as well, allowing 274 passing yards and 2.7 passing touchdowns per game.
