Some years fantasy football gives us a handful of defenses that should be considered must-start options regardless of the matchup. That's not really the case this year, and even if you've got a top-scoring unit like the Denver Broncos, you really should not be starting them against the Baltimore Ravens.
There are still plenty of options for you out there, though. As is the case most weeks, favorable matchups are doing a lot to elevate some defenses' values in Week 9, making them strong starting options for the week.
