Week 9 ranks: QB | RB | WR | TE | K | Team D | Flex

It’s Week 9, fantasy fans! Time flies when you’re having fun (or not, like last week)! We have just two teams on a bye this week, as the Steelers and Titans are off. That means fantasy managers will be without running backs Jaylen Warren and Tony Pollard, both among the top starting options on their fantasy teams. The NFL will return to its international games this week, as the Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons will face off at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain. 

This week’s rankings include some risers in Bhayshul Tuten and Malik Nabers. There are a few streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em for all the details! Other players are dealing with injuries, including Jeremiyah Love, while others are falling due to a recent lack of high-end fantasy production, like George Pickens and Mark Andrews. 

Here are my fantasy flex player rankings as we head into Week 9. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out late in the week!
