10 QB sleepers to target for fantasy football 2021 Week 9
By Brad Weiss
4. Jordan Love vs Kansas City
On Wednesday, it was announced that Green Bay Packers starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers had COVID-19, and would be forced to miss the matchup against Kansas City due to being unvaccinated. That means that former first-round pick Jordan Love will make his first NFL start this week, and he will be doing it against a terrible defense.
If Rodgers were starting this game, he would be a must-start in fantasy football, but Love could get you a large number of fantasy points as well. Kansas City is downright lost on that side of the ball, and Love can make plays with his big arm, and legs, so look for him to have a few scores in this one.
3. Tua Tagovailoa vs Houston
We have already spoken about Davis Mills and the Houston Texans taking on the Miami Dolphins, and why he could be a must-play in fantasy this weekend. On the other side of the coin is Tua Tagovaolia, the starting quarterback for the Dolphins, and one who should see easy sledding against this Texans defense in week 9.
Tua and the Dolphins went into this season with high hopes, but they have been wildly disappointing, including a loss to the Buffalo Bills this past weekend. Still, the Texans are a team they can get healthy against, and I like Tua to run for a score, as well as toss for two touchdowns in this matchup at home.
