What are the biggest NFL storylines fantasy football managers need to know heading into Week 9?

Andrew Erickson and Alfredo Brown break down a wild quarterback carousel across the NFL, starting with Baltimore’s move to acquire Jacoby Brissett following injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.

The guys discuss what Brissett could mean for Zay Flowers and the Ravens offense, whether Baltimore can salvage its season and how Joe Fagnano could fare on Thursday Night Football against Jacksonville.

Then, they turn to Philadelphia, where Joe Milton is set to start and potentially bring a much different dynamic to the Eagles' offense. Could his arm talent create more big-play opportunities for DeVonta Smith? And what does the quarterback change mean for Makai Lemon and Eli Stowers?

Seattle is also making a quarterback change with Drew Lock replacing an injured Sam Darnold. Erickson and Alfredo explain why Lock could actually be a strong Week 9 fantasy streamer against Arizona and what the move means for Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Plus, the guys discuss Jordyn Tyson’s potential return in New Orleans, Shedeur Sanders starting for Cleveland, the fantasy impact on Harold Fannin Jr., and answer live start/sit and trade questions involving Trevor Lawrence, Jared Goff, Ashton Jeanty, Rhamondre Stevenson, Jonathan Taylor, Parker Washington, Garrett Wilson, Bucky Irving and more.
