Week 9 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice

Aaron Rodgers (QB – GB) at DET: Packers -3 | 49 O/U

  • Rodgers is not the producer he was in his back-to-back MVP campaigns (9.2 AY/A in 2020-21 vs. 6.9 this year) — but he’s still tied with Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Geno Smith for No. 1 in the league with multiple touchdown passes in six games.
  • No. 1 WR Allen Lazard (shoulder) might return to action this week.
  • The Lions defense is No. 32 in dropback EPA per play (0.296) and pass DVOA (26.8%).
  • Rodgers is 41-23-1 ATS off a loss.

Trevor Lawrence (QB – JAX) vs. LV: Jaguars +1.5 | 47.5 O/U

  • Lawrence has disappointed this season as a passer (6.4 AY/A, No. 21), but he’s No. 1 on the team and No. 2 at the position with three rushing touchdowns inside the five-yard line.
  • Lawrence has a five-star matchup against the Raiders, who are No. 1 in most fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks (23.4 FPPG, per our Fantasy Points Allowed Report).

Justin Fields (QB – CHI) vs. MIA: Bears +5 | 44 O/U

  • After posting horrible passing marks in Weeks 1-3 (15 attempts per game, 3.5 AY/A), Fields has been functional since Week 4 (22.8 attempts, 8.0 AY/A).
  • Fields has elite Konami Code capability, ranking No. 2 among all quarterbacks with 76 carries overall and seven carries inside the five-yard line (per our Fantasy Football Stats Report and Red Zone Stats Report).
  • The Dolphins defense is No. 30 in dropback EPA per play (0.147).
