Joe Milton vs. Giants — Big Arm and Mobility Bring Intrigue in Surprise Start

The Eagles officially named Joe Milton their starting quarterback for Week 9 against the Giants, benching Tanner McKee in search of an offensive spark. Milton joined Philadelphia just weeks ago after signing off Dallas’ practice squad and steps in with starter Jalen Hurts sidelined on injured reserve.

Our weekly projections expect roughly 151 passing yards, 15 rushing yards, and just under 10 fantasy points in what projects to be a low-scoring divisional matchup. While his live arm and rushing mobility offer intriguing ceiling potential, his raw floor and limited reps make him strictly a desperate fantasy option.

Outlook C.J. Stroud

C.J. Stroud at Chargers — Favorable Matchup in SoFi Dome

Stroud enters Week 9 playing disciplined football, boasting an 11-to-1 touchdown-to-interception mark through seven contests. Supported by an elite receiver room featuring Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Tank Dell, Houston's passing offense remains potent despite starting running back David Montgomery being ruled out.

Houston visits a winless Los Angeles squad as 4.5-point favorites. While the modest projected game total may temper overall passing volume, our model projects Stroud for roughly 197 passing yards, 1.3 touchdowns, and 17.8 fantasy points. Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups as a dependable starting option.
