Fantasy football sit-and-start advice should always be relative and league-dependent. Many starts and sits are obvious too, so we will instead focus on fringe options in this column, the ones that take real thought. Good luck with your Week 9 lineups!
Dallas Cowboys @ Atlanta Falcons
Start: Dak Prescott
The Cowboys can’t run, and Prescott gets a fast-paced matchup indoors with this week’s highest total (51.5 points). The Falcons rank last in sacks (six) and pressure rate this season, and Atlanta somehow didn’t record any hits/sacks on 51 Baker Mayfield dropbacks last week. Prescott should benefit from a clean pocket and will be passing frequently Sunday; Dallas’ banged-up defense is unlikely to stop Atlanta’s offense. Prescott is a top-10 QB this week.
Denver Broncos @ Baltimore Ravens
Start: Courtland Sutton
Sutton lost a fumble at the goal line last week, but he ranks top 15 in air yards share (36.8%) this season. He’s the WR16 in expected fantasy points, and Bo Nix is throwing downfield more lately. The Ravens are a pass-funnel defense that’s allowed just 55.0 RB rushing yards per game but the most fantasy points to outside receivers. Baltimore’s opponents have the league’s second-highest pass rate (66%) this season. Sutton is a top-25 WR in this fast-paced matchup.
Sit Javonte Williams, who’s scored in just one game all season and managed just 2.6 YPC against fantasy’s worst rush defense last week. The Ravens are ceding NFL lows in YPC (3.3) and rush attempts per game (21.3). Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. has as many 100-yard rushing games as Williams does in his career.

Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills
Sit: Raheem Mostert
Mostert scored two short touchdowns last week and could continue to benefit from goal-line work, but he’s a risky fantasy start. He saw just 10 touches and is losing most passing-down…
