Week 9 Quarterback Outlooks for Fantasy Football

Geno Smith, Seattle Seahawks - Fantasy Football Outlook

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith checks in as a player you can play in a pinch once again in Week 9. The Seahawks will host the Los Angeles Rams who are No. 15 against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy. This matchup is about as middle-of-the-pack as they come.

Smith currently leads the NFL in passing yards. Unfortunately, we got a good look at life without wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills and it was not pretty. Smith was limited to 212 yards and an interception. The Seahawks actually moved the ball relatively well in the first half, but they fell apart in the second half.

The Rams should have no problem scoring on the Seahawks defense so Seattle will likely need to put the ball in the air. The volume will be there for Smith, but the question is whether or not the Seahawks will be effective without Metcalf who is slated to miss his second straight game.

For those reasons, Smith will be a QB2 with upside this week. However, he has a great chance to throw for over 300 yards and a couple of touchdowns if the offense has adjusted to life without Metcalf.

- Quincy Milton III, RotoBaller

Jared Goff, Detroit Lions - Fantasy Football Outlook

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (ankle) is positioned for a productive outing against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. He is dealing with an ankle issue but was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday and is off the injury report.

While Week 8 saw a modest 85 passing yards from Goff, Detroit's ground game was the primary scoring method. Over his last three games, Goff has demonstrated impressive efficiency, completing 80% of his passes for 680 yards, eight touchdowns, and zero interceptions, securing his status as a reliable QB1. The Packers' defense ranks 29th in blitz rate and allows one of the league's higher yards per completion, presenting an opportunity for Goff to connect on longer throws.

They've also shown vulnerability by conceding the fifth-highest success rate per dropback, making this matchup favorable. With his accuracy and the Lions' overall offensive firepower, Goff remains a strong top-10 QB option this week.

- Tyler Thompson, RotoBaller

Jameis Winston, Cleveland Browns - Fantasy Football Outlook

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston turned in an excellent performance in his first start since 2022, throwing for 334 yards and three touchdowns in an upset win over the Baltimore Ravens. He will look to keep it going at home against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9.

The Chargers have a much better pass defense than the Ravens as they are allowing just the 25th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. That being said, Winston looked good last week and is worth trusting as a low-end QB2 in superflex and two-quarterback formats this weekend.

- Matt T., RotoBaller
