Fantasy Football Week 9 Sleepers: Chris Rodriguez Jr., Malik Willis Highlight Start Options
World Sports · 00:04:46 - Sunday, 8 November 2026

Fantasy football managers looking for Week 9 sleepers should consider Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis, according to analysis from Sports Illustrated's fantasy experts.

Rodriguez, 24, saw increased opportunity in the Jaguars' matchup against the Indianapolis Colts at EverBank Stadium, making him a viable flex option in deeper leagues. Willis, meanwhile, offers streaming appeal with his dual-threat ability as the Packers navigate their quarterback situation.

The recommendations come as part of a broader Week 9 sleeper list aimed at helping fantasy owners navigate bye weeks and injuries.
