Fantasy Football PPR QB and Defense Rankings Week 9

Can Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes challenge Josh Allen this weekend for the #1 spot? How high is Jalen Hurts’ upside on a short week against the Texans?

1. Josh Allen, Bills vs. Jets

Josh Allen remains the #1 QB even after his 2 interception performance last weekend. Allen has the consistent passing production and rushing upside to single-handedly win you your fantasy matchup even against a good Jets defense.

No duo has more TD connections of 10+ air yards than @JoshAllenQB and @stefondiggs this season (6).

2. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs vs. Titans

The Titans secondary is banged up and the Chiefs are 20-3 under Andy Reid coming off of a bye week. Patrick Mahomes is coming off of a 423 yard, 3 touchdown passing performance against one of the better defenses in football (the 49ers) and should is poised for a huge day against the Titans.

3. Jalen Hurts, Eagles vs. Texans

After A.J. Brown’s 3 touchdown performance, Jalen Hurts is cruising at both throwing and running the football. Hurts has been one of the most consistent fantasy producers all year long and the Texans are one of the worst teams in the league. Despite being on a short week, Hurts will wreak havoc on the Texans defense and is an elite QB1.

4. Lamar Jackson, Ravens vs. Saints

Lamar Jackson is coming off of a 21 fantasy point performance against a stout Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that saw him complete a season high 27 passes. The Saints defense has been dominant at times, but is too inconsistent to count on shutting down Lamar Jackson.

5. Kyler Murray, Cardinals vs. Seahawks

6. Geno Smith, Seahawks vs. Cardinals

7. Joe Burrow, Bengals vs. Panthers

8. Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins vs. Bears

9. Justin Fields, Bears vs. Dolphins

Justin Fields continues to be one of the best fantasy QB’s over the past couple of weeks due to his increase in rushing production. The Dolphins have a great defense, but that shouldn’t hinder Fields from putting up 20 fantasy points at the very least.

1. The Patriots scored 14 unanswered. They had all the momentum.

Every instinct said the #Bears were about to crumble.

Then Justin Fields led a 79-yard march (coming off an INT) capped by a masterful read and throw for a TD.
