- Fantasy Football Week 9 Wide Receiver PPR Rankings: Which WRs Should You Start?
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been a PPR monster this season, and there's no reason to move him out of the top spot in our Week 9 fantasy football wide receiver rankings with Sam Darnold out. Puka Nacua, Malik Nabers, and Amon-Ra St. Brown aren't far behind, while Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both have a legit shot at another monster week against Atlanta. Luther Burden III has also worked his way into the WR1 conversation. There's plenty of talent at the top, but figuring out which receivers to trust in that WR2 or third spot is where things get interesting.
