10 QB sleepers to target for fantasy football 2021 Week 9
By Brad Weiss
8. Jalen Hurts vs Los Angeles Chargers
All of a sudden, the Los Angeles Chargers look like a team that is lost on both sides of the ball and are coming off a loss at the hands of the New England Patriots. Their next opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles, have an absolute playmaker at quarterback, which could spell trouble for a defense that was picked apart by Mac Jones this past weekend.
Hurts and the Eagles are coming off their best win of the season, and while it was against the lowly Detroit Lions, it should give them confidence as they host the Chargers. Hurts is a guy who could be a must-start down the road, and in Week 9, he should show glimpses of why.
7. Justin Fields at Pittsburgh
The Chicago Bears lost to the San Francisco 49ers this past weekend, but Justin Fields stood out at the quarterback position. He showed that he can make plays in trouble, and had a complete game, throwing for a touchdown while rushing for over 100 yards and a score as well.
This weekend, the Bears will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a game that could end up being a close one. Fields and the Bears may not win many games this season, but he puts up the kind of statistics that could win you the week in fantasy and is a must-start in two-quarterback leagues this weekend.
