Binge, Stream, Skip: Week 9 Fantasy Football

Game environment is the foundational starting point in making fantasy football lineup decisions. As such, I’m going to break down each game on the slate into three categories: Binge, Stream and Skip.

Games you want to “binge” are like the show you can’t miss; you’re watching as soon as it goes live and might just crush all the episodes in one weekend. These are the start-all-your-guys fantasy games and ones with season-defining storylines.

Games you want to “stream” are like the shows you certainly watch start to finish, but perhaps you’re finishing it over time instead of one shot. While these games might not feature a ton of “must-starts,” we can pick and choose our spots, and the teams are likely to matter in the NFL playoff picture.

Lastly, the games you want to “skip” are like the shows you’re leaning toward passing on, but you might catch an episode here and there (or might stick to reading recaps online to stay up with the culture). There will be a non-obvious player or two who stands out in these games, but overall, they aren’t the best environment for fantasy football.

Let’s dive into my Week 8 Fantasy Football Viewer’s Guide.

Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers

One of the most critical division matchups will take place in Week 9 as the Packers have a chance to take a big position in the NFC North with a win. The Lions will put some gap between them and the rest if they take down another northern rival.

It is only due to the magnitude of it that we’re even talking about Jordan Love playing in this game. In any other context, it would make sense to rest Love while dealing with another injury as the team heads into a Week 10 bye. But they can’t afford to cede a game to Detroit.

The Packers offense is a strong but crowded unit. All four of the top receivers have a double-digit target share, as do both Josh Jacobs and tight end Tucker Kraft.

The two men in the sun right now are Kraft and Doubs. Kraft is getting it done on…
