FanDuel NFL: Best Lineup for Week 9
By Jon Dove
Quarterback: Mitch Trubisky, Chicago Bears
@ Buffalo Bills, Sunday 1:00pm
FanDuel Cost: $7,800
The Chicago Bears offensive attack has shown improvement each and every week. In turn, Mitch Trubisky has also take a few steps forward in his development. This has made him a strong fantasy option the past several weeks.
Chicago takes on the Buffalo Bills this weekend which has been a favorable matchup for most quarterbacks. The Bills have struggled on both sides of the ball which has created plenty of scoring opportunities for their opponent.
Look for Trubisky to continue his recent trend of picking up yards with both his arm and legs. His duel threat ability has really helped his fantasy value.
Backup Option: Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns
vs. Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday 1:00pm
FanDuel Cost: $7,400
The one thing everyone can agree on about Baker Mayfield is that he’s a gamer. This is someone who rises to the challenge and plays with an edge. He will absolutely be looking to out duel Patrick Mahomes this weekend.
It will be interesting to see how the Browns offensive attack operates after this week’s coaching changes. Former running back’s coach, Freddie Kitchens, is taking over the play calling duties.
Kitchens comes with plenty of experience having coached running backs, quarterbacks and tight ends. However, this is his first shot at calling plays.
