NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Shedeur Sanders will start at QB for the Browns against the Saints, who are vulnerable to slot receivers, making Harold Fannin and KC Concepcion appealing fantasy options in Week 9.
- Ryan Flournoy of the Cowboys and Josh Downs of the Colts have favorable matchups against secondaries that struggle against slot receivers, though Downs faces competition for targets from Keenan Allen.
- DeMario Douglas of the Patriots faces a tough matchup against the Packers, who allow the fewest yards and fantasy points to slot receivers this season, suggesting caution in starting him.
- Jameson Williams of the Lions is in a strong spot against the Dolphins, who allow the highest fantasy points per target to boundary receivers, making Williams a potential fantasy asset.
- Adonai Mitchell of the Jets faces a challenging matchup against the Chiefs' secondary, which is among the best at limiting production from boundary receivers, indicating a tough week for him.
