If you are a Jalen Hurts or Baker Mayfield owner, FlurrySports has three great fantasy football QB streaming options for you, including Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Flacco.
Jalen Hurts and Baker Mayfield are two of the top quarterbacks in fantasy football, so if you are one of the fantasy owners without them this week, there are a few options to stream this week for a spot start. On top of that, injuries may still plague some signal callers in the league. With the Browns and Jets also on bye in Week 9, there are numerous options for you to fill in your signal-caller this week.
Using what we know from the first eight weeks of the season, we have a pretty good idea of which matchups to exploit for our Week 9 QB fantasy football streamers! When you’re done, check out our Week 9 fantasy football rankings.

Week 9 Fantasy Football QB Streaming Options
Joe Flacco vs Chicago Bears (36%)
Don’t look now, but since taking over the Cincinnati Bengals job, Joe Flacco has scored more than 18 points in each of his starts. That includes putting together back-to-back games of more than 24 points. Flacco has the opportunity to get back to those numbers this week, as the Bengals take on the Chicago Bears this week. The Bears have been very susceptible to giving up passing yards this season. In fact, Chicago has given up 2,099 passing yards to opposing quarterbacks this season. This year, the fantasy football QB facing the Bears is averaging 22.4 fantasy points!
As is the case with every Cincinnati quarterback, the first thing that you have to look at is the weapons. Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are probably the best one-two punch at the wide receiver position in the NFL. Those two alone are enough to give any defense nightmares. As we have seen since Flacco joined Cincinnati, there is an obvious connection between Flacco and Chase. With that being the case, giving Chase the ball as much as possible is the remedy to a stagnant offense. Flacco is the play this week and will have another big week.

Sam Darnold vs Washington Commanders (28.8%)
I have been riding the Sam Darnold train all season long, and I am going to continue doing so this week. This season, Darnold is not the guy that you are ever going to get excited about starting, but starting him guarantees you at least 14 points out of your quarterback. Sitting at QB18 on the season, Darnold only has two games scoring single digits, while scoring at least 15 points in every other start, with two games over 20. To me, that is what you think of when looking at a quarterback to stream.
This week, the Seahawks take on the Washington Commanders, who have been terrible against the pass this season. Washington has given up 2,087 passing yards this season, while giving up 22.9 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. With weapons like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Ken Walker, Elijah Arroyo and Zach Charbonnet, Seattle’s offense will be able to move the ball at will against Washington this week.
Tua Tagovailoa vs Baltimore Ravens (15.7%)
This has been quite the season for Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins, to say the least. While there have been a lot of downs with Tagovailoa, there have also been some ups. We saw one of those ups last week, as the Dolphins buried the Atlanta Falcons to a tune of four passing touchdowns from Tua. While I am not the biggest Tua fan by any means, there is certainly an opportunity for another big week. The Dolphins take on the Ravens, who again have been terrible against the pass this season.
Through seven games, the Ravens have given up 1,817 passing yards and 14 passing touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks. As a whole, quarterbacks are scoring 23.6 fantasy points per game against the Ravens. Given how bad the Dolphins are on defense and with Lamar Jackson returning, this is a game where Miami could get down early, leading them to having to pass for the majority of the game. With Jaylen Waddle and De’Von Achane, they have the ability to take any play to the house.
