Week 9 Fantasy Football Key Questions: Jonathan Taylor, Ashton Jeanty, Justin Jefferson | Must-Start Players, Risky Rankings & Potential Breakouts! (Ep. 2325)

 

What are the biggest fantasy football questions you need answered before setting your Week 9 lineup?

Ryan Wormeli, Derek Brown and Pat Fitzmaurice go game by game through the Week 9 NFL schedule, breaking down the players they trust, the situations that concern them and the matchups that could produce unexpected fantasy value.

After recapping Thursday Night Football between Jacksonville and Baltimore, the guys turn their attention to the Sunday slate and tackle the biggest fantasy questions from every matchup.

How should fantasy managers handle Jonathan Taylor amid uncertainty surrounding his workload and potential trade? Can the Lions-Dolphins matchup produce another big fantasy day for Miami’s emerging playmakers? What should we expect from J.J. McCarthy and Joe Milton in Giants-Eagles? And can Ashton Jeanty take advantage of San Francisco through the passing game?

The crew also examines Jordan Love and the Packers against New England, the Seattle backfield with Drew Lock starting, Bucky Irving and Caleb Williams on Sunday Night Football, and what Carson Wentz could mean for Justin Jefferson against Buffalo on Monday night.

Whether you're deciding between two starters, looking for a Week 9 breakout or trying to avoid a lineup landmine, the Pros have you covered with actionable advice for every major matchup.
