It’s Week 9, and the fantasy football season has officially hit the point where your roster either feels like a masterpiece… or a modern art project no one understands. Bye weeks, injuries, and unpredictable usage have turned even the most confident managers into nervous wrecks scrolling through projections at 2 a.m. But don’t worry — our Featured Pros have you covered. They’ve studied the matchups, crunched the numbers, and maybe sacrificed a lucky pair of socks to the fantasy gods to help you separate the Starts from the Duds this week.

Fantasy Football Week 9 Start/Sit Advice
Sleepers
Which player outside of the top 100 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is a good sleeper start, and why do you think he has upside this week?
Marquise Brown (WR – KC)
“A single uncaught target against the Commanders makes Marquise Brown look outside of the Chiefs’ offense and a trade deadline candidate. However, Patrick Mahomes never forgets the unfed, and Brown is a sneaky play against the Bills.”
– Richard Savill (Fantasy Six Pack)
Kyle Monangai (RB – CHI)
“Kyle Monangai has carved out a steady role — his snap share has been at around 45% in each of the last two weeks — and he has a primo matchup against a papier-mache Bengals defense that could be without its best player, Trey Hendrickson (hip). Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis ravaged the Cincinnati defense for 198 rushing yards and two touchdowns last week, averaging 7.9 yards per carry. Monangai and tag-team partner D’Andre Swift could both be in for good days.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)
Duds
Which player inside the top 40 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is likely to disappoint fantasy managers this week?
Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB – NYG)
“Tyrone Tracy Jr. The next man up always has a volume increase, but expecting numbers mirroring Cam Skattebo that come with it is another matter. There is likely more of a mix to expect in the Giants’ backfield from here to the end of the season. Devin Singletary will get his chance for more touches and red-zone opportunities.”
– Richard Savill (Fantasy Six Pack)
