3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Nov 6

Dak Prescott headlines Justin Boone’s Week 9 starts, with Boone projecting the Cowboys quarterback as a top-five option against a Colts team that was crushed 42-7 after major trade-deadline selloffs.
Chase Brown and Justin Jefferson also get strong endorsements: Brown handled 20 touches and 101 scrimmage yards last week, while Jefferson gets a boost from Carson Wentz replacing the injured Kyler Murray.
Sam LaPorta returns to Boone’s top-five tight ends thanks to a Dolphins defense allowing the third-most fantasy points to the position, with Malik Willis and C.J. Stroud also highlighted as quarterback streamers.
Bryce Young leads the sit list after back-to-back low outputs and now faces Denver, while Boone also warns against Rachaad White, Michael Wilson and Dalton Kincaid in difficult Week 9 matchups.
The advice centers on matchup strength, recent usage and injury-driven role changes, with Boone pointing readers to his broader Week 9 rankings for the rest of their lineup decisions.
