Week 9 of the NFL season is here, and so is another round of setting DraftKings lineups. This lineup features an evenly-spread group of stud players.

When setting a DraftKings lineup, you find out pretty quickly that picking a couple high-dollar players leaves you with very minimal cash to spend elsewhere. That is why it’s crucial to weigh player value, performance, and opportunity versus player cost.

This week’s lineup features an evenly balanced group of stud fantasy performers, and has one of the most solid floors of any lineup we’ve done all season.

Best DraftKings lineup for Week 9 of the fantasy football season

Quarterback: Lamar Jackson ($7,300)

Lamar Jackson returns from bye this week as the overall QB8 in fantasy football through Week 8. He’s been electric both on the ground and through the air, as he’s seemingly found improvement in moving the ball downfield. His fantasy floor is established and is one of the highest among quarterbacks.

Jackson gets the Minnesota Vikings this week that has been stingy to opposing quarterbacks in terms of fantasy points allowed. However, Jackson remains matchup-proof and he can attack a Minnesota run defense that is 21st in the NFL, allowing 120.9 yards per game.

Jackson will lead our squad this week, guaranteeing top-10 quarterback play this week, which is what you need in a daily fantasy lineup.
