Week 9 Fantasy Wide Receiver Rankings

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 leaves fantasy managers without the services of the inconsistent DK Metcalf, as well as rookie receivers Germie Bernard and Carnell Tate. 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 Malik Nabers and Jameson Williams. There are also a number of streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em later this week for all the details! Other wideouts are dealing with injuries, such as DeVonta Smith, and others, like Zay Flowers and Omar Cooper Jr., are falling due to a recent lack of high-end production.
Here are my fantasy wide receiver 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!
