Fantasy football sit, start, and sleepers: Divisional Advice for 2017, Week 9
NFC NORTH
SIT: Green Bay Packers Defense
I don’t see the Packers offense doing much here, which means more time on the field for the home defense. Things are going to go down in a bad way for the cheese-heads in this one.
START: Quarterback, Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions
Green Bay’s defense isn’t all that great to begin with. Add to it the likelihood they’ll be on the field most of the game due to the Packers’ offensive struggles, and this is going to be a good night for Stafford.
SLEEPER: Tight End, Eric Ebron – Detroit Lions
Eric Ebron has not been what the Lions thought he’d be when they drafted him. He’s still in Detroit though, and this division rivalry game is a big spot for him to come out smelling like roses.

AFC NORTH
SIT: Quarterback, Joe Flacco – Baltimore Ravens
I don’t care what he says, that hit from Kiko Alonso was brutal, and Flacco shouldn’t be coming back this soon. Do what the Ravens aren’t, and sit him.
START: Baltimore Ravens Defense
Going up against the Titans, I fully expect the Ravens defense to come in looking for a shut-out. This means hard hits, and at least two turnovers.
SLEEPER: Cincinnati Bengals Defense
If Blake Bortles comes out here and throws the way we all know he’s capable of, then the Bengals defense is in for at least two turnovers. Possibly one taken to the house, and you have a solid streaming week.
