Welcome to Week 9!

Most of us survived last week’s bye-mageddon, and the NFL goes back to the typical four-team bye this week with the Browns, Buccaneers, Eagles and Jets all off. The running backs who will be off the board include Saquon Barkley, Quinshon Judkins, Breece Hall and the Tampa Bay trio of Bucky Irving, Rachaad White and Sean Tucker.

Once again, there is no international game on the NFL schedule this week.

This week’s risers include Chase Brown, Kimani Vidal and Rhamondre Stevenson, all of whom have very favorable matchups on the schedule. On the flip side, runners like Alvin Kamara, Jordan Mason and Tony Pollard could struggle versus tougher opponents.

With that said, here are my complete fantasy football running back rankings for Week 9 of the NFL season.

Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
