Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings: Eli Manning and QBs That Will Impress

It’s Week 9 of the fantasy football season and the playoffs are right around the corner. Are you starting to feel the pressure of having to win games now? Is your 3-5, 4-4, or 5-4 team barely hanging onto a playoff spot? 

Well, listen up fantasy owner, what I have for you today, is three quarterbacks, who if they are on your team this week, they will ultimately win you your game.

Start these three quarterbacks this week, as they will put up huge numbers. 

Eli Manning, New York Giants

Manning has been one of the best fantasy quarterbacks in the last five weeks. Four of those games have seen Manning have games of 20-32 points, with one of them being a small nine-point game. 

This week, Eli goes up against the worst pass defense in the New England Patriots. This is a Patriots defense that gave up 23 points to Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger last week. 

Eli Manning will have a huge day this week, as people who give him a start can expect a day of 300 or more yards and three touchdowns. 

Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles

Vick has really turned his fantasy season around as of late. In three of his last four games, Vick has had point totals of 31, 27, 17 and 26, which should have helped in putting his fantasy owners over the top in their games. 

This week, on "Monday Night Football," Michael Vick should have no problem in putting up huge numbers in this game. 

He is projected to have 23 points against this Bears defense, which he will easily surpass. Vick should get 250 yards passing with two touchdowns, with another 65 yards rushing and another touchdown. 

Matt Cassel, Kansas City Chiefs

Cassel not only should be available on your waiver wire, but he's also been a reliable start over the last four weeks. In those four weeks, he’s put up a game with 33 points, when the Chiefs played the winless Indianapolis Colts. 

This week, the Chiefs play another winless team, the Miami Dolphins. 

The Dolphins have an awful pass defense, but have been competitive in a lot of their games this year. This will result in making Cassel and the Chiefs throw the ball a lot on Sunday. 

If you have to start a quarterback from the waiver wire this week, give an add to Cassel, as he will put up a good day on Sunday.

These three quarterbacks who are either on your bench or on the waiver wire are must-starts this week.
