Fantasy Football TE Rankings: Who to Start in Week 9?


This week’s fantasy football tight end rankings are top-heavy with elite names, and gamers will rely on their stud players to make up for deficiencies at wide receiver. In some cases, starting two tight ends will be the best play for many managers.

Bye weeks deprive us of several useful options, but we may see stud Brock Bowers (knee) return to the field after struggling through injury and missing time.

Be sure to check back for updated Week 9 fantasy football rankings throughout Sunday’s kickoff!
