Week 9 has blessed us with five games with totals over 50 points, giving fantasy managers plenty of shootouts to choose from as they set their lineups. These are my favorite starts and my biggest fades for Week 9.
► Quarterback
Start: Caleb Williams, Bears
While some would call me a “Caleb hater,” it pains me to admit this is a great spot for the young passer. The Bengals have given up the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this year and rank 30th in EPA per dropback play allowed. Williams has faced three bottom 10 defenses in passing EPA this year. They were his three best games by yards and yards per attempt. The last time he faced a defense as bad as the Bengals was when he destroyed Dallas with 298 yards and four scores.
Start: Kyler Murray, Cardinals
The Cardina
