Fantasy Football Week 9: Top Wide Receivers to Start and Sit, as Mooney and Sutton Emerge

Wide Receivers to Start

Christian Kirk, Jacksonville Jaguars

Kirk has been a consistent performer all season, averaging over 80 receiving yards per game. He has a great matchup this week against the Raiders, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Darnell Mooney, Chicago Bears

Mooney has emerged as a reliable target for Justin Fields in recent weeks. He has scored a touchdown in three of his last four games and is averaging over 70 receiving yards per game during that span.

Jerry Jeudy, Denver Broncos

Jeudy has been a disappointment this season, but he is starting to show signs of improvement. He had a season-high 102 receiving yards last week and could be in for another big game this week against the Titans, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Wide Receivers to Sit

DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles

Smith has been a major disappointment this season, averaging just over 40 receiving yards per game. He has a tough matchup this week against the Commanders, who have allowed the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos

Sutton has been one of the biggest busts in fantasy football this season. He has yet to score a touchdown and is averaging just over 45 receiving yards per game.

Jakobi Meyers, New England Patriots

Meyers has been a solid performer this season, but he has a tough matchup this week against the Jets, who have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.
