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:
- Saquon Barkley Tests Positive For COVID-19
- Christian McCaffrey Designated To Return From IR
- Aaron Rodgers Has COVID-19, Won't Play In Week 9
- Michael Thomas Out For The Season
- Sterling Shepard Expected To Miss Time With A Quad Strain
- Raiders Release Henry Ruggs III
- Taysom Hill Progressing Well From Concussion
- Odell Beckham Jr. Excused From Practice Wednesday
- Derrick Henry Officially Lands On Injured Reserve
- Allen Lazard Activated From COVID-19 List
- Noah Fant Lands On COVID-19 List

- Kyler Murray Not Seen At Practice Wednesday
- Kenny Golladay On The Field Wednesday
- Dolphins Expect Will Fuller To Play Again This Year
- Cowboys Hoping Michael Gallup Returns This Week
- Terrace Marshall Jr. Returns To Practice Wednesday
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!
