We’ve reached midway into the season here in Week 9 as we see the cream rise to the top in the NFL. The quarterback has become an even thinner position and teams with the best records are showing their true colors of who is under center. Last week we smashed at QB with Tua, Cousins, and Murray thanks to the projection model. But don’t count all your winnings just yet, there’s still plenty of NFL DFS to play. It’s time to chop it up with these Week 9 quarterbacks!
Check out our NFL Week 9 DFS Quarterbacks!
Josh Allen ($8,500 DraftKings/$9,300 FanDuel)
Allen hit a pothole at home against GreenBay Sunday night, only completing 18 passes and tossing two picks. We’re all not perfect, but expect Josh to get back on track this week in New York. The Jets’ defense has in fact stepped it up a notch racking up 21 sacks with 9 interceptions through 8 games, but Allen is on another level. He’s got the highest floor, the highest ceiling at the position, and the safest by far in any type of DFS format. In 2021, Allen totaled over 500 passing yards with 4 touchdown passes in 2 games against the Jets.
Kyler Murray ($7,400 DraftKings/$8,200 FanDuel)
He came through for us big time last week with close to 30 fantasy points and we can look forward to doubling down against Seattle in Week 9. Murray has returned to his true form in fantasy with the reinstatement of teammate DeAndre Hopkins. The Cardinals’ franchise quarterback clearly performs better with his primary receiver back in the lineup (22 REC/262 YDS/1 TD). We may actually get that highly anticipated shoot-out we expected from Week 6 this time around too, let it ride with Kyler.
Justin Herbert ($7,200 DraftKings/$7,800 FanDuel)
With one week removed from a bye hopefully Herbert is 100% healed up, but are his receivers? He’ll have a chance to throw against one of the worst secondaries (29th in QB DVOA) in Atlanta and we know already Mike Williams is out. But if Herbert can at least get Keenan Allen healthy for Week 9 we should see some serious action on that turf. Keenan Allen has not played since Week 7 where he only saw a 32% snap share, if he’s 100% we can feel good about Herbert in this juicy matchup.
Tua Tagovailoa ($6,700 DraftKings/$8,000 FanDuel)
We witnessed Tagovailoa light up Detroit for 32 DK points on Sunday, and is fully capable of a repeat performance against a Chicago Bears’ defense that just traded away its finest of Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith this past week. Miami’s dual threat of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have toasted corners and safeties all season. Now that Chicago’s pressure on Tua to possibly be a lot softer this weekend, they may both also go for over 150 yards a piece again.
Kirk Cousins ($6,200 DraftKings/$7,900 FanDuel)
Kirk had this game circled on his calendar since the schedule was released back over the summer he will be fired up, and rightly so. He will be out there in D.C. strutting his stuff to owner Dan Snyder, the man who refused to pay him back in 2018. Loaded with receiving talent (Justin Jefferson) and recently acquiring tight end TJ Hockenson from Detroit, Kirk will drop the hammer on the Commanders’ garbage St–Juste/Fuller led secondary.
Justin Fields ($5,300 DraftKings/$7,400 FanDuel)
The Bears’ sophomore year quarterback is beginning to get the feel for the NFL. The Chicago coaching staff has evidently made some adjustments in their play calling to utilize the strength of Fields‘ skillset. By stomping the Pats on the road and putting up 29 points on the Cowboys it’s fair to say Fields is breaking out of his shell and will continue to shine at home hosting the Dolphins. Given the fact that Tua and company will also be lighting up the scoreboard, Fields will need to keep up the pace and sling it to Miami’s 26th ranked pass defense.
