Week 9 presents challenges for fantasy football managers, particularly in IDP leagues, as top defensive players like T.J. Watt, Nick Bosa, and Fred Warner are on bye. This absence significantly impacts defensive line and linebacker positions.
Streamers to consider include Laiatu Latu from the Indianapolis Colts and Ernest Jones IV of the Seattle Seahawks, both showing potential for strong performances. Conversely, players like Travon Walker, Xavier McKinney, and Patrick Surtain II are recommended fades due to tough matchups.
Additionally, defenders worth stashing include Ji’Ayir Brown from the San Francisco 49ers, Nik Bonitto of the Denver Broncos, and Edgerrin Cooper from the Green Bay Packers, all showing promise for future weeks.
