    The SportsLine Projection Model outperformed the experts big-time last season, and it's back to give out some surprising projections for Week 9 of Fantasy football.

    Before setting your Week 9 Fantasy football lineups, you NEED to see what SportsLine's advanced computer model has to say. When it comes to ranking players, the model beat human experts in Fantasy football last season when there were big differences in ranking. And the model was closest-to-the-hole overall, meaning it best pinpointed where every player would finish each week. That could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.

    Last week, the model was extremely high on Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, saying he'd finish as a top-five player at his position despite being started in just 75 percent of leagues. The result: Stafford completed 25-of-32 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns against the Giants. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a HUGE week.

    Now the model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, has revealed its latest Week 9 Fantasy football rankings.

    One player the model is high on this week: Bills running back Frank Gore, who is getting two-thirds of the running back touches in Buffalo. This week, the Bills are commanding 10.5-point favorites at home against the Redskins, which means a heavy dose of the 36-year-old. The model ranks Gore as an RB2 this week even though he's being started in just 27 percent of CBS Sports leagues.

    And a massive shocker: Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who's coming off an impressive 5-103-1 stat line last week, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top 20 receivers. He's a player to consider putting on the bench.

    The model is also calling for a SHOCKING quarterback you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 10 of its Fantasy football rankings! This pick could be the difference between winning BIG and going home with nothing. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your lineups.

    So who should you sit and start in Week 9? And which surprising quarterback could lead you to victory? ... Join SportsLine now to get Fantasy football rankings for every single position, and see which shocking QB comes out of nowhere to crack the top 10, all from the model that out-performed experts big time last season!
