Week nine will give fans a better match-up on Thursday Night Football than we all would have thought before the season began. Who should you start and who should you sit in fantasy football?

Prior to this season, no one would have been excited about a Thursday Night Football game pitting the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets against each other, but 2017 has been a weird year for the NFL. The Bills, who are riding the league’s longest playoff drought streak, are 5-2 while the Jets, thought to go 0-16 before the year, are 3-4 and more competitive than we all expected.

The Bills have been great defensively, forcing four turnovers against the Oakland Raiders this past weekend. The Jets have been good on defense too, but somehow, Josh McCown and Robby Anderson have helped propel this New York offense, keeping them in close games against the Falcons and the Patriots.

Buffalo’s offense is okay and Tyrod Taylor has been pretty good this year. Both quarterbacks put their teams in decent shape to win every week and no one expected that to be the case before the season began.

With such an interesting game on the horizon, who should fantasy football owners start and who should they sit? Let’s get to it.
