​Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season has already brought with it plenty of chaos, as several teams are making notable moves at the quarterback position.A microcosm of the league’s greater movement can be seen with the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens lost Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley to long-term injuries and will start undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano on “Thursday Night Football.” However, they are also planning to trade for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett over the weekend, so their quarterback room is in flux.The same is true with the Seattle Seahawks, where Drew Lock will replace an injured Sam Darnold, and with the Cleveland Browns, where Shedeur Sanders may start with Deshaun Watson in concussion protocol. And that’s not to mention the Philadelphia Eagles’ decision to bench Tanner McKee to see what they have in the potential-packed Joe Milton.That swath of quarterback changes will leave many fantasy managers with difficult start ’em, sit ’em decisions. Those quandaries will also exist at other positions like running back, where fantasy footballers will have to decide whether to trust Ashton Jeanty or Tyler Allgeier, among others.Who can you start and sit in fantasy football for Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season?

He’s set to start in place of Tanner McKee and has the cannon arm and elite athleticism needed to blossom into a fantasy asset. The Giants have allowed the seventh-most FPPG to quarterbacks, so Milton has a chance to emerge as a decent streamer.Running backsQuinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns (at New Orleans Saints)Judkins has been boom-or-bust as a touchdown-dependent fantasy option, but he should be poised for a good outing against the Saints. New Orleans has allowed the most FPPG to running backs this season, including a league-high 11 rushing touchdowns to the position. With that in mind, Judkins should be able to find his way into t
