One of the most crucial parts of playing fantasy football is playing the matchups. Some players are match up proof. You are not going to sit Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/strong> or Antonio Brown<\/a><\/strong>. Below are some Week nine fantasy football starts and sits to help you win this week.<\/p>\n Dallas Cowboys<\/strong> quarterback Dak Prescott<\/strong> <\/a>has been one of the most consistent quarterbacks so far this season. He has scored over 17 fantasy points in seven out of the eight games he has started this season. In week nine\u00a0Prescott has a very favorable match up vs the Cleveland Browns<\/strong>. The Browns have been giving up the fourth most fantasy points to quarterbacks so far this season.<\/p>\n Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong> quarterback Jameis Winston<\/strong> <\/a>has been some what inconsistent this season but he\u00a0is averaging 16 fantasy points per game. In Week nine\u00a0the former Florida State<\/strong> quarterback\u00a0has a favorable match up vs the Atlanta Falcons<\/strong>. Atlanta is giving up the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks so far in 2016. This is the Thursday night\u00a0game.<\/p>\n Miami Dolphins<\/strong> runny back Jay Ajayi<\/strong> <\/a>is coming off back-to-back 200-yard performances in his last two games.\u00a0Ajayi is\u00a0coming off of a bye in Week eight and he\u00a0has a\u00a0solid matchup in Week nine vs the New York Jets<\/strong>.\u00a0Gang Green\u00a0have been a decent matchup for opposing running backs this season. With the departure of Arian Foster<\/a><\/strong> due to retirement Ajayi should get the bulk of the carries.<\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks<\/strong> running back Christine<\/strong> Michael <\/strong><\/a>has been one of the best running backs so far this season. Michaels is averaging almost 12 fantasy points per game which has him ranked as the 16th fantasy running back. In Week nine he has a\u00a0favorable match up on Monday night vs the Buffalo Bills<\/strong> who opposing backs have fared well against so far this season.<\/p>\n Miami Dolphins<\/strong> wide receiver Jarvis Landry<\/strong> <\/a>is having a\u00a0good season. He is averaging nine fantasy points per game through Week eight. In Week nine he\u00a0will face a New York Jets<\/strong>\u00a0secondary that\u00a0has been vulnerable to\u00a0the passing game. The Jets are giving up the most fantasy points to wide receivers so far the season.<\/p>\n New Orleans Saints<\/strong> wide receiver Brandin Cooks <\/a><\/strong>is coming off three games where he averaged 14 fantasy points. Look for Cooks’ production to continue when the Saints take on the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers<\/strong> The 49ers are giving up the\u00a010th\u00a0most fantasy points to wide receivers so far this season.<\/p>\n Tennessee Titans<\/strong> tight end Delanie Walker <\/a><\/strong>is coming off back-to-back solid games where he totaled 160 yards and a touchdown.\u00a0Walker should continue to put up good numbers vs the San Diego Chargers<\/strong> who have been a solid match up for tight ends this season.<\/p>\n Indianapolis Colts<\/strong> tight end Jack Doyle <\/a><\/strong>has quietly been\u00a0one of the best tight ends over the past few weeks.\u00a0Doyle is averaging seven fantasy per game over that span. In Week nine he has a solid matchup vs the Green Bay Packers<\/strong> who have a very beaten up secondary.<\/p>\n New York Giants<\/strong> quarterback Eli Manning<\/strong> <\/a>has struggled so far this season and is only averaging 13 fantasy points per game. Many thought that with Manning having one of the best wide receiving corps in the NFL he would be having a much better season. But the offense has been very inconsistent in 2016. In Week nine\u00a0Manning and the Giants offense have a difficult matchup vs the Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Buffalo Bills<\/strong> quarterback Tyrod Taylor<\/strong> <\/a>is having a solid season considering the weapons he has on offense have been injured almost every week. Taylor has made\u00a0due with what he has and he’s also been using his legs a lot to score consistent fantasy points. He is averaging 16 points per game so far the season. But in Week nine\u00a0Taylor has a difficult matchup on Monday night vs the Seattle Seahawks<\/strong> on the road.\u00a0The Seahawks\u00a0are giving up the sixth fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.<\/p>\n Saints running back Mark Ingram<\/strong> <\/a>has not lived up to expectations\u00a0this season. Ingram is averaging 60 yards per game and has only two touchdowns so far. In last week’s game Ingram had a costly fumble which led to a touchdown for the Carolina Panthers<\/strong> and was benched for the remainder of the\u00a0game.<\/p>\n Reports coming out of New Orleans are saying that the Saints will use a running back by committee approach\u00a0with Ingram and Tim Hightower<\/a><\/strong>. When Ingram was seeing a full workload he was averaging 60 yards per game and\u00a0now that he is splitting carries he will likely rush for even fewer yards. Ingram does have a solid matchup in Week nine vs the 49ers but he is a risky play.<\/p>\n Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong> running back Ryan Mathews<\/a><\/strong> is in a true running back by committee. He is splitting carries with several other running backs and\u00a0saw\u00a0a total of only seven touches last week vs the Dallas Cowboys<\/strong>. One of those carries did end up in a short yardage touchdown, but he simply isn’t getting the ball enough to start him in fantasy. With the Eagles using a running back by committee and having a difficult matchup vs Giants, Matthews is a risky play in this week.<\/p>\n Detroit Lions<\/strong> wide receiver Marvin Jones <\/a><\/strong>started off the season hot but has since cooled down over the last couple of weeks. With the Lions offensive weapons getting healthier Stafford is passing the ball around to his other targets more, which has limited Jones. Jones also has a difficult matchup vs the Minnesota Vikings<\/strong> who have allowed the second fewest points to wide receivers so far this season.<\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks<\/strong> wide receiver Doug Baldwin<\/strong> <\/a>is coming off a career season in 2015 and was\u00a0selected fairly high in fantasy drafts this season. But Baldwin has failed to live up to his off-season hype and is averaging only eight points per game this season. But Baldwin has a solid matchup vs the Buffalo Bills<\/strong> and wide receivers have fared well against the Bills\u00a0this season. With the struggles that Seattle’s offense has had this season Baldwin is a risk\/reward play on Monday night in Week nine.<\/p>\nWeek Nine Fantasy Football Starts and Sits<\/h2>\n
