At the same time, injuries to studs like Jonathan Taylor and Ja'Marr Chase have opened the door for others to step up. Let's check out our Week 9 fantasy football FLEX rankings, as of November 5th. Our goal is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key FLEX options like Austin Ekeler, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara, Travis Etienne Jr., Kenneth Walker III, Deon Jackson, and D'Onta Foreman rank, among others.
