Early Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings and Injury News: Taysom Hill, Saquon Barkley, Aaron Rodgers, Odell Beckham Jr.

Our updated Week 9 fantasy football rankings for 2021 and standard scoring (non-PPR) formats at RB, WR, TE, QB and DEF. Set your optimal fantasy lineups and win.

Welcome to Week 9 RotoBallers. We just got through last week's games, but are back with our early Week 9 fantasy football rankings. The injury news and player updates are coming in quickly this week, so we are already starting up our rankings and analysis for Week 9 of the fantasy football season. As always, we kick things off with a roundup of relevant fantasy football injuries and player news, so let's roll the tape:

Note that quarterbacks, defenses and kickers are all grouped separately towards the bottom. Each of those positions is ranked on their own. This is to allow owners to compare running backs, wide receivers and tight ends for their FLEX spot (without seeing QB, DEF, K mixed in).

And in case you weren't aware, our very own Nick Mariano was ranked #11 overall in 2018 out of ~120 industry experts, and was ranked #9 overall the year before. So be sure to follow his rankings every week!
