Week 9 is serving up to be one of the more competitive weeks of the entire season. The schedule is full of matchups worthy of the prime-time spot, including Dolphins/Chiefs (9:30 a.m. EST), Ravens/Seahawks (1:00 p.m. EST), Cowboys/Eagles (4:25 p.m. EST) and Bills/Bengals (8:20 EST).
These tough matchups mean it’s make or break for a lot of fantasy studs this week, but in most cases the more elite players tend to boom even higher when there’s more at stake.
Here’s a breakdown of select players across the league you should consider starting or benching this weekend, as well as a list of players you might gain an advantage with by claiming from free agency.
