Despite a devastating Hail Mary loss as time expired, Bears quarterback D’Andre Swift is coming off his best rushing game of the season and appears to be gaining momentum after a slow start. Swift rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown, giving him a streak of four straight games of at least 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. Now, Swift fits up against a Cardinals run defense that ranks 26th in the NFL and could be an automatic starter in your Week 9 Fantasy Football lineups. However, not every starting decision is that easy, and having a reliable set of live updated Fantasy Football Week 9 rankings will be the key to dealing with Fantasy Football breakouts. Before you set your Fantasy Football lineups, be sure to check out the Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings from SportsLine’s proven computer model.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine’s model has outperformed human fantasy football experts in recent seasons, especially when there have been large differences in rankings. Over the course of a season, that could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.
The same model has a proven track record of providing Fantasy football advice, including being ahead of the curve with players like AJ Brown, Jonathan Taylor, Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara and Jahmyr Gibbs. Anyone who beat players like these went on to the league title.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire Week 9 NFL schedule 10,000 times and released the latest Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings. Go to SportsLine now to see them.
Top Week 9 Fantasy Football QB rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top Week 9 fantasy football picks:
1. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: The passing game hasn’t always been prolific, but the Eagles are 5-2 and appear to be gaining confidence after dominant wins over the Giants and Bengals. Hurts has rushed for a combined five touchdowns in the two games and is averaging 8.1 yards per pass attempt this season. Now they will take on the second worst pass defense in the NFL (Jacksonville) at home.
2. Jayden Daniels, Washington Chiefs: Daniels played a top-10 defense on Sunday with an extra week of rest with a rib injury and once again looked out of phase. He threw for 326 yards and a touchdown (NFL play of the year this season) and added 52 rushing yards.
3. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: With the Bills seemingly committed to establishing their running game early in the season, Allen hasn’t put up the passing numbers we’ve come to expect. However, he has thrown for 606 yards and four touchdowns in his last two games, and Amari Cooper looks to open things up for Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir, though he has yet to make a substantial impact.

Top Week 9 Fantasy Football RB Rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top Week 9 Fantasy Football RB picks:
1. Derrick Henry, Baltimore Ravens: For one of the first times in his career, Henry is playing in a balanced offense and the results have been spectacular. The 30-year-old future Hall of Famer is on pace for more than 2,000 yards and leads the NFL in rushing yards (946) and rushing touchdowns (9). He has scored in every game this season and is an easy starter, even against a solid Denver defense.
2. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: Like Henry, Barkley is absolutely thriving in his new home, racking up 872 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns in his first seven games in Philadelphia. The Jaguars rank 29th in the NFL in scoring defense and have allowed just 127 yards and two touchdowns to Packers running back Josh Jacobs.
3. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: Robinson rushed for 546 yards and four touchdowns in his first eight games, but his involvement in the passing game helped take his Fantasy production to the next level. He has been targeted 34 times and has 30 catches for 238 yards and a score. Dallas is giving up 148.3 scrimmage yards per game and has given up 10 touchdowns to running backs this season.

Top Week 9 Fantasy Football WR Rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top Fantasy Football WR picks from Week 9:
1. Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals: Chase was targeted 11 times in a 37-17 loss to the Eagles last week and finished with nine catches for 54 yards and a touchdown. He has now scored seven times in his last six games and has only gone under 50 yards once this season.
2. AJ Brown, Philadelphia Eagles: Through four games this season, Brown has 21 catches for 408 yards and three touchdowns and has yet to go less than 84 yards. On Sunday, he will face a Jaguars defense that ranks 31st in the NFL in yards allowed.
3. Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings: Jefferson had his second 100-yard game of the season last week against the Rams, and now has a mini-bye to prepare for the Colts after playing Thursday. Indianapolis ranks 24th in the NFL in pass defense, and Jefferson is averaging six catches for 92 yards per game with five touchdowns in seven games. See more top WRs here.
Top Week 9 Fantasy Football TE Rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top Week 9 Fantasy football TE picks:
1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs: It’s been an unusually slow season for the future Hall of Famer, but he’s back at TE7 after posting 10 catches for 90 yards and his first touchdown of the season last week. Kelce has had at least seven catches for 70 yards in three of his last four games and is trending as we approach the midway point of the season.
2. Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders: The No. 13 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft was widely regarded as one of the most talented tight end prospects in recent memory, and he lives up to the hype. He leads the NFL with 52 receptions in eight games and has 535 receiving yards to lead all tight ends.
3. Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons: Pitts has shown himself to be one of the best tight ends in the league throughout his career, but his production has been incredibly inconsistent overall. However, he has at least 65 receiving yards in his last four games and has already tied a career high with three touchdowns after a two-touchdown performance last week. See more top TEs here.
Top Week 9 Fantasy Football Defensive Rankings
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top three Week 9 Fantasy Football D/ST picks:
1. Chargers D/ST: Jim Harbaugh’s defensive unit is the best scoring defense in the NFL so far this season, and now they’ll match up against a Browns offense that ranks 27th in scoring and 31st in total yards , despite an outbreak last week. Jameis Winston has breathed new life into Cleveland’s offense, but history also tells us he’s one of the most turnover prone in the league.
2. D/ST Chiefs: Dan Quinn has done wonders for this defense, taking it from 32nd in the NFL in points allowed in 2023 to 10th through the first eight weeks of 2024. Now they face a Giants offense that ranks 31st in NFL in scoring.
3. Chiefs D/ST: The Chiefs rank fifth in the NFL in scoring defense and total defense and have held three of their last four opponents to 230 yards of offense or less. They now match up with a Tampa Bay offense that will be without Mike Evans and Chris Godwin on Monday. See more top D/STs here.
