- Fantasy Football Week 9 Running Back PPR Rankings: Which RBs Should You Start?
In a placement that should surprise no one, Jahmyr Gibbs leads our Week 9 fantasy football running back rankings, but there are plenty of questions behind him. Christian McCaffrey's health remains something to watch, Kenneth Walker III is looking to get back on track, and Bijan Robinson needs a bounce-back game after a rough Week 8. Meanwhile, D'Andre Swift and Chuba Hubbard are coming off strong performances and want to stay hot. With PPR scoring in play, the backs getting involved in the passing game have an extra edge when you're making those tough RB2 and flex decisions.
