After the bloodbath that ensued in Week 8, fantasy owners in PPR leagues will still have wide receiver options to tinker with in lineups due to the unique scoring system of their leagues.
Fantasy football rankings, Week 9: Consensus wide receivers for PPR leagues
The SB Nation fantasy staff rounds up the rankings for the top 50 wide receivers in PPR leagues.
With Keenan Allen and Steve Smith’s seasons over, as well as Week 9 hosting six teams on bye, fantasy owners will undoubtedly race to the waiver wire to fill active roster spots. The next men up in San Diego and Baltimore, Stevie Johnson, Malcom Floyd and Kamar Aiken, are certain to get plenty of bids.
Elsewhere, the top tier of receivers in fantasy is more distant from the rest of the field than usual, and fantasy owners with Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Odell Beckham, Julian Edelman and A.J. Green can continue to thank their lucky stars that their studs remain healthy and dominant. Plenty more should be in store for them as all have favorable matchups and the talent to capitalize on them.
As for everyone else? Here’s how the top 50 receivers in PPR leagues stack up.
