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 wide receivers who will be off the board include Emeka Egbuka, A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith, Garrett Wilson and Jerry Jeudy.

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

This week’s risers include Ladd McConkey, Tetairoa McMillan, and Michael Pittman Jr., all of whom have very favorable matchups on the schedule. On the flip side, wideouts like Courtland Sutton, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Stefon Diggs 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!
