Coming off a horrible week for quarterback injuries, fantasy football managers could be scrambling (pun intended) to fill those lineup holes. And don't forget about an early kickoff for the Dolphins and Chiefs in Germany.

ON BYE: Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Francisco 49ers

Fantasy football rankings for Week 9 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.
