Early Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em Picks for Week 9 feat. DeVonta Smith, Hunter Henry, Bijan Robinson, and more
Week 9 of the 2024 fantasy football season has arrived and managers can now begin preparing their lineups. Analyzing every available player by breaking down their recent performances and weekly matchups is one of the best ways to determine who to start. Here are some of the best targets and fades this week.
Fantasy Football Week 9 Start 'Em picks
Bijan Robinson has been on fire in fantasy football recently with the Atlanta Falcons. He has finished each of the past three weeks ranked among the top 10 weekly running backs and has scored four touchdowns during that stretch. He gets an extremely favorable matchup in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys, who have been torched by fantasy backs all season long.
He is joined by DeVonta Smith as another one of the top players to target in Week 9 lineups. He is coming off of a season-high WR8 weekly finish in fantasy football and has an ideal matchup this week. The Philadelphia Eagles will face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year.

Fantasy Football Week 9 Sit 'Em picks
Using Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool is one of the best ways to determine which players to target during each week of the fantasy football season. This valuable tool gives weekly projections and lineup suggestions to help managers make better decisions.
Hunter Henry is among the list of players to fade in Week 9 as he has been having an extremely inconsistent 2024 season. He has ranked as the TE8 or better three times this year with the New England Patriots, but outside of the top 25 tight ends in each of his other five games. He should be avoided in a tough matchup against the Tennessee Titans' solid defense.
