The Outlook - Week 9 (CLE-NO, NYG-PHI, LAR-WAS, DEN-CAR, HOU-LAC)
The Outlook is The Huddle's new matchups column. Kevin Tompkins will break down every fantasy-relevant player from each team every week.
This week's slate includes five games, with two particularly noteworthy matchups: Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants. The Browns are without starting quarterback Deshaun Watson, who remains in concussion protocol, potentially forcing rookie Shedeur Sanders into the starting role. The Saints, boasting a strong defense against running backs, are the favored team with a game total of 42.5 points.
Should Watson miss the game, either Sanders or Browns quarterbacks Josh Allen and Tua Tagovailoa would start. For the Browns' running backs, Quinshon Judkins is a high-end RB2, given the Saints' weak run defense allowing 4.9 yards per carry. However, with tight ends such as Harold Fannin potentially stepping in as a TE1, the game's outcome remains uncertain due to the unpredictable nature of the Browns' offense.
