Caleb Williams, QB, Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears and Cincinnati Bengals produced one of the games of the season in Week 9, in a back-and-forth 47-42 Bears win. Given the scoreline, it’s no surprise that Caleb Williams and Joe Flacco finished Sunday as QB1 and QB2 overall, respectively.

Williams’ 38.7 fantasy points are a career-high, with his previous best week (29.64) coming against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6 of his rookie year. But the second-year quarterback’s career has been defined by its inconsistency, making this week a great time to sell high.

Williams has produced nine top-10 fantasy weeks over his career so far, but only twice have two of those performances come in back-to-back games. Beyond those two instances, the highest ranking Williams has achieved after a top-10 week is QB18 overall, with the others landing outside the top 20.

Williams has the talent, and you certainly shouldn’t be rushing to cash in, but if you can get a league mate to bite on his latest spike week, there could be a sell-high opportunity. Williams should be viewed as a boom/bust, low-end QB1 for the rest of the year; if you can’t get an offer of similar value, he’s best left on your roster.

Jordan Love, QB, Green Bay Packers

The Carolina Panthers headed into Sunday as the 11th-best defense against quarterbacks in fantasy. However, their reputation as one of the worst teams in football will take a while to shake off.

That makes Jordan Love’s disappointing Week 9 even more concerning for fantasy managers, given that the Green Bay Packers were widely expected to dominate. Love completed 26 of his 37 pass attempts for 273 yards, but with zero touchdowns and one pick.

That landed him with just 10.2 fantasy points, ranking 20th among quarterbacks on the week, even before Sunday Night Football. Love was the QB1 overall in Week 8, but has only registered two top-10 fantasy weeks all season.

Moving forward, though, Love faces a mixture of high-powered offenses and questionable defenses, giving him plenty of opportunities for production. With Josh Jacobs seemingly over his recent calf troubles, the Packers offense should be able to get moving, although they’ll likely be without star tight end Tucker Kraft.

The Packers are accustomed to playing without their star playmakers, though, with Christian Watson having missed significant time in the past. Love was PFSN’s second-ranked quarterback on the year heading into Sunday, and any doubt from current owners should be pounced on.

Michael Penix Jr., QB, Atlanta Falcons (at IND – Berlin Game)

Michael Penix Jr. hasn’t earned nearly the same level of trust that Darnold has, but he is coming off his best fantasy performance since Week 1. The second-year quarterback tallied 22.7 fantasy points, with three touchdowns and no interceptions against one of the better defenses in the NFL, the New England Patriots.

All three of those touchdown passes went the way of Drake London, who could find himself in an intriguing battle with Sauce Gardner this weekend. The Falcons have been inconsistent this year, scoring 10 points or fewer in three of their games.

That being said, the Indianapolis Colts have topped 30 points in four of their last five games, and at least 38 in three of those. If we get a repeat performance from the Atlanta offense, this game carries significant shootout potential.

Darnold is the safe play this week, while Penix is a more boom/bust option for those who need to take a swing or two.

Marcus Mariota, QB, Washington Commanders (vs. DET)

For those in deeper leagues or potentially Superflex leagues, Marcus Mariota should be available with Jayden Daniels injured long-term. The Washington Commanders’ backup is more mobile than most and will probably need to be aggressive to keep up with the Detroit Lions offense on Sunday.

Mariota has been a top-20 fantasy quarterback in all three of his starts this season, including a QB6-overall finish against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. The Lions, meanwhile, have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks (19.1).

Dan Campbell’s men have allowed two touchdowns per game, 7th-most in the league, while Washington has allowed the 11th-most points per game (26.22). It won’t feel great, but Mariota is a viable QB2 option this weekend.
