Week 9 ranks:QB |RB |WR |TE |K | Team D |Flex
It’s Week 9, fantasy fans! Time flies when you’re having fun (or not, like last week)! We have just two teams on a bye this week, as the Steelers and Titans are off. That means fantasy managers will be without Pittsburgh’s defense, a top fantasy unit that will need to be replaced with a streamer. The NFL will return to its international games this week, as the Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons face off at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain on Sunday.
This week’s rankings include some risers in the Jaguars and Texans defenses. There are also a few streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em later in the week for all the details! Other defenses, like the Vikings and Buccaneers, are falling due to a recent lack of consistent production or a bad matchup. Managers should be able to replace them with a viable streamer.
Here are my fantasy team defense rankings as we head into Week 9. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out late in the week!
