Welcome to Week 10 of The Worksheet, a comprehensive fantasy football preview, by Rich Hribar.
What is The Worksheet from Rich Hribar?
The Worksheet is a comprehensive weekly fantasy football preview for each NFL game. Rich Hribar analyzes the matchup for every notable fantasy player for every game every week of the NFL season.
We are officially on the “back nine” of the NFL season.
Half of the regular season is behind us as we push forward towards the fantasy postseason.
Since we are halfway, let’s compare this season to this point in recent seasons.
After a slower start, this season has found some signs of improvement.
The 21.6 offensive points per game through nine weeks are not as strong as the offensive eruption that we saw during the COVID years, but that rate is higher than where we were at this point in 2023 (20.6 offensive points per game) and 2022 (20.9).
NFL teams are rushing for 122.5 yards per game, the highest rate through nine weeks in the 2000s.
The trade-off is that the 213.1 passing yards per game are the fewest through 9 weeks in a season since 2008.
Teams are still struggling to protect the quarterback (the 7.7% sack rate is the third-highest rate in the 2000s), and the 38.6% rate of converting third downs is the lowest since 2010.
Turning the page to the back half of the season, we have four teams on bye (the Seahawks, Browns, Raiders, and Packers), the most we have had in a few weeks.
We also have our final international kickoff of the season, with the Giants and Panthers playing in Germany.
That game kicks off at 9:30 ET, so make sure you have players set in lineups or on benches.
