Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings Week 9
Tier 1: Superstar WR1s
| Rank | Player | Opponent |
| 1 | Puka Nacua* | New Orleans Saints |
| 2 | Amon-Ra St. Brown | Minnesota Vikings |
| 3 | Ja’Marr Chase | Chicago Bears |
| 4 | Jaxon Smith-Njigba | Washington Commanders |
| 5 | CeeDee Lamb | Arizona Cardinals |

| 7 | Justin Jefferson | Detroit Lions |
| 8 | Chris Olave | Los Angeles Rams |
| 9 | Drake London* | New England Patriots |
| 10 | Nico Collins* | Denver Broncos |
The top receivers are back in action in Week 9 after a massive bye week in Week 8:
- Nacua missed the Week 7 game before the bye week with an injury, but he is expected to play in Week 9. He retakes the top spot of the wide receiver rankings.
- Chase has four straight top-five fantasy finishes and is back to being the number one overall wide receiver in fantasy football in total points, and is third in PPG behind Nacua and JSN.
- Collins should be able to clear concussion protocol, but he has a difficult matchup against the Broncos.

Tier 2: Proven Solid WR2s
| Rank | Player | Opponent |
| 11 | Davante Adams | New Orleans Saints |
| 12 | George Pickens | Arizona Cardinals |
| 13 | Marvin Harrison Jr. | Dallas Cowboys |
| 14 | Brian Thomas Jr. | Las Vegas Raiders |
| 15 | Ladd McConkey | Tennessee Titans |
| 16 | Rome Odunze | Cincinnati Bengals |
| 17 | Michael Pittman Jr. | Pittsburgh Steelers |
| 18 | Zay Flowers | Miami Dolphins |
| 19 | Tetairoa McMillan | Green Bay Packers |
| 20 | Jaylen Waddle | Baltimore Ravens |
The players in this tier are all must-starts this week and will provide plenty of fantasy value throughout the season:
- McConkey had another good week for the Chargers, scoring a touchdown in three of the last four games. He has two top ten fantasy finishes in the previous three weeks. McConkey has a great schedule upcoming with the Titans, Steelers, and Jaguars before the bye week. Expect McConkey to continue to play at a high level.
- Waddle has stepped up in the Tyreek Hill injury. He has three top twenty finishes in the four weeks as the Dolphins WR1. Miami had a big bounce back offensively last week, and they will look to continue that against the Ravens in Week 9.
GOOD LUCK CATCHING JAYLEN WADDLE 💨
