Week 9 is here! Whether your squad is 8-0, 0-8, or somewhere in between, it’s time to put your team in the best position to bring home a win with my Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings.

Week 8’s script gave us a Jahmyr Gibbs special. The 21-year-old totaled 189 yards and a touchdown, finishing as the RB2 overall.  Other notable performances came from CeeDee Lamb (35 fantasy points), DeAndre Hopkins (32.8), Sam Howell (32), Josh Allen (30.1), Dak Prescott (29.1), and Gus Edwards (28.4 fantasy points). Lastly, Will Levis achieved the hat trick in his first career start, hooking up with Hopkins for three scores.
