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


Bye weeks remove Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Garrett Wilson, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Jerry Jeudy from the player pool in Week 9. Thanks to injuries, we have several other uncertain receivers to navigate. On a positive note, Puka Nacua is expected to play.

You’ll find several acceptable fill-in options throughout the middle tiers, though fantasy owners will want to rely heavily on the success of running backs in Week 9.

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