Joe Burrow just dropped 50.1 fantasy points in Week 8, but Jared Goff still takes the top spot in our Week 9 fantasy football quarterback rankings. Drake Maye is making a strong case to be considered among the position's elite, and Josh Allen remains as dangerous as ever despite a tough matchup. There are some interesting calls farther down the list, too, especially for anyone weighing a suspect big-name starter against a quarterback with a better matchup. Here's how the QBs stack up for Week 9.
