As fantasy football enters Week 9, key advice has emerged regarding several players. Malik Willis of the Dolphins is highlighted as a strong start against the Lions, whose defense ranks last in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. Drew Lock of the Seahawks also receives a recommendation to start against the Cardinals, who have allowed substantial fantasy points to quarterbacks. On the other hand, Jets quarterback Geno Smith is advised to sit due to a tough matchup against the Chiefs, who have a strong pass defense. Similarly, Ollie Gordon of the Dolphins is suggested as a sit option given a challenging matchup. This advice comes as players prepare to finalize their lineups for the week ahead.
