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 will certainly hurt fantasy managers who have Jaylen Warren and Tony Pollard, who has been red-hot in the stat sheets in the last two weeks. The NFL will return to its international games this week, as the Bengals and Falcons square off Sunday at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain. 

This week’s rankings include some risers in Bhayshul Tuten and Jonah Coleman. There are a limited number of streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em later this week for all the details! Some backs are dealing with injuries, including Jeremiyah Love, and others, like Omarion Hampton and TreVeyon Henderson, are falling due to demotion or declining production. 

Here are my fantasy running back 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!
