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 won’t affect this position much, as Pittsburgh's Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington have been unreliable while Tennessee's Gunnar Helm holds little value. The NFL also will return to its international games this week, as the Bengals and Falcons square off Sunday at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

This week’s rankings include some risers in Harold Fannin Jr. and T.J. Hockenson. There are a few streaming options based on the matchups as well—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em later this week for all the details! Other tight ends are dealing with injuries, including Hunter Henry, and others, like Mark Andrews and Juwan Johnson, are falling due to a loss of targets or a recent lack of high-end production.

Here are my fantasy tight end 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!
