JACOB’S WEEK 9 FANTASY FOOTBALL STARTS AND SITS

Welcome back to Jacob’s Fantasy Football Starts and Sits! 

I’ll start off with the players and teams I think you should start this week!

START

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence vs Raiders

Why?

  • Las Vegas is ranked 25th in the league for passing yards allowed per game
  • Las Vegas is ranked 25th in the league for points allowed per game
  • Las Vegas is ranked 10th in rushing yards allowed per game meaning Lawrence will be throwing the ball more

Eagles RB Miles Sanders vs Texans

Why?

  • Philadelphia is ranked 6th in the league for rushing yards per game
  • Houston is ranked 32nd in the league for rushing yards allowed per game

Colts RB Johnathan Taylor vs Patriots

Why?

  • Taylor is one the best Running Backs in the league but has had a slow start so far this season and he’s bound for a breakout game 
  • New England is ranked 22nd in the league for rushing yards allowed per game

Jacksonville Jaguars Defense vs Las Vegas Raiders Offense

Why?

  • Jacksonville is ranked 10th in the league for points allowed per game
  • Jacksonville is ranked 12th in the league for rushing yards allowed per game
  • Las Vegas Offense is coming off a shutout performance in week 8 against the Saints


Now, we’ll move on to the players and teams you should sit.

SIT

Rams QB Matthew Stafford vs Buccaneers

Why?

  • Tampa Bay is ranked 6th in the league for passing yards allowed per game
  • Tampa Bay is ranked 6th in the league for points allowed per game
  • Los Angeles is ranked 28th in the league for points scored per game

Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette vs Rams

Why?

  • In general you should not be starting him even though he was one of the best Running backs in the league last year because of how bad the Buccaneers run game has been this season with it being on pace to be the worst rushing season from any team in NFL history. 
  • Los Angeles is ranked 7th in the league for rushing yards allowed per game
  • Tampa Bay is ranked 32nd in the league for rushing yards per game

Panthers WR DJ Moore vs Bengals

Why?

  • Cincinnati is ranked 15th in the league for passing yards allowed per game
  • Cincinnati is ranked 21st in the league for rushing yards allowed per game meaning the Panthers will be running the ball more especially with how well RB D’Onta Foreman has played since the CMC which will result in Moore’s targets going down.

Kansas City Chiefs Defense vs Tennessee Titans Offense 

Why?

  • With Rookie QB Malik Willis Starting with the injury of QB Ryan Tannehill the titans will run the ball all game with Derrick Henry 
  • Derrick Henry is coming off of an absolutely unreal performance of 219 yards and 2 Touchdowns 
  • Kansas City is ranked 23rd in the league for points allowed per game
