Fantasy Football Week 9 Start ‘Em & Sit ‘Em: Kimani Vidal is start of the week; sleepers at every position

Jayden Daniels (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 9 against Seattle after sitting out Week 8, and hopefully he can get his season on track. So far, Daniels has been a bust.

He’s scored 19.7 Fantasy points or less in two of his past three games, and he has missed three games due to knee and hamstring injuries. He’s also played the majority of the season without Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), who is not expected to play against the Seahawks.

This isn’t an easy matchup, and only four quarterbacks have scored at least 20.1 Fantasy points against Seattle this year. But when Daniels is healthy, it shouldn’t matter.

I’m starting Daniels in Week 9 in the majority of leagues, and hopefully he’ll deliver. It would be great if McLaurin was healthy, but Daniels should excel with Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz leading the way.

It’s been a rough start for Daniels in his sophomore campaign in 2025. But Daniels can still end the season as one of the best Fantasy quarterbacks this year, and let’s hope that strong finish starts in Week 9 against Seattle.
