Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings: Mark Sanchez and Top Sleepers Worth a Start

Whether or not you think Mark Sanchez is a good quarterback is irrelevant when it comes to playing the Buffalo Bills defense.

In fact, Sanchez has actually been solid over the last several weeks.

He's not the only big-name sleeper worth starting this week, but he is on top of the list.

Here are a few sleepers worth taking a shot on.

Mark Sanchez, QB, Jets

The Buffalo Bills are 24th against the pass in the NFL right now.

Sanchez, who has taken a ton of criticism so far this year, has steadied the ship of late.

In the last three games, he has thrown six touchdowns and only one interception. The Jets are 2-1 in those games and he's starting to, at the very least, capitalize on opportunities.

He should see plenty against the Bills this week and unless he regresses (which is a legitimate risk) he should put up some points.

Knowshon Moreno, RB, Broncos

For the second straight week we should see Moreno featured as the back for the Broncos.

Denver travels to the Black Hole in what will be an ugly division game featuring Tim Tebow vs. Carson Palmer at quarterback.

Moreno wasn't great in his first game back in the starting lineup, but he's going to be featured once again this week.

Willis McGahee is still nursing a broken hand and will likely not be on the field this week.

Jason Avant, WR, Eagles

This Eagles receiver is basically the opposite of DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. He's a steady, possession receiver who struggles to find the end zone.

He's the third-most targeted receiver on the Eagles, and Philadelphia is finally starting to protect quarterback Michael Vick with regularity.

Giving Avant a chance should not disappoint you.

He might find the end zone, but he'll finish somewhere between 60 and 80 yards on at least five to seven catches.
