Fantasy Cheat Sheet: Week 9
A week's worth of advice to help you make your last-minute moves
Week 9 Cheat Sheet
Each week, the cheat sheet combs through the choicest Insider fantasy advice to provide owners with last-minute roster advice for the weekend. Here is this week's edition:
Top Tips
Matthew Stafford, QB, Detroit Lions: Well, Week 8 certainly was a fun one for Stafford owners, eh? He had 352 passing yards, three passing TDs and one rushing TD to give him 31 points in ESPN standard scoring, a full 11 points higher than his previous best this season. Should we expect more where that came from? Stafford's remaining schedule isn't as good as some other options at the position, but Eric Karabell has him as the No. 10 QB for the rest of the season in his latest end-of-season ranks.
To read more fantasy advice, including which players you should start and which you should avoid in Week 9, you must be an ESPN Insider.
