Malik Willis A Strong Streaming Option for Week 9

Tuesday, November 3, 4:30 AM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis has been much better for fantasy football in the last few weeks, and he's an option to consider as an emergency option from the waiver wire if you need bye-week help or are in a two-QB league. Willis brings dual-threat upside and has at least two total touchdowns in each of his last three games. He threw for one score and ran for another against the Bengals with a season-high 74 rushing yards in Week 5 before the bye week. In Week 7, he led the Dolphins to their only win of the season with 208 passing yards and two touchdowns while running for a third score against the Jets. In Week 8's loss to the Patriots, Willis only had two rushing yards but threw two touchdowns and racked up 211 passing yards. In Week 9, he gets a great matchup against the Lions, who have been the most favorable matchup in the NFL for QBs this season. If you need QB help from the waiver wire, Willis is one of the best widely available streaming options to consider.

Michael Penix Jr. a Deep-League Streaming Option in Week 9

Wednesday, November 4, 5:25 AM

Atlanta quarterback Michael Penix Jr. remains a deep-league fantasy starting option for the team's Week 9 test against the Bengals. He struggled in Week 8 against Tampa Bay, completing just 8-of-24 passes for 125 yards. Penix didn't throw a touchdown and was picked off four times. He had 11 rushing yards on five attempts. There were wet and sloppy conditions in that contest, which certainly impacted the passing game and Penix's play. The QB had thrown seven touchdowns to no interceptions in the previous three games combined, so he'll be looking to bounce back this week. Cincinnati is a pretty average matchup for Penix, which keeps him as a deep-league streaming option, even after last week's disastrous showing.
