Week 9 has arrived. The playoff races are shaping up, final trades are being made, and the dreaded bye weeks are slowly coming to an end. This week poses tough decisions for fantasy owners all over with the Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, Washington, and Houston Texans all on byes this week.
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 for Week 9.

With all those byes, you will need replacements for: A.J. Green, DeAndre Hopkins, Alshon Jeffery, Larry Fitzgerald, Julian Edelman, DeSean Jackson, Will Fuller, John Brown, Jamison Crowder, Michael Floyd, Cameron Meredith, Chris Hogan, J.J. Nelson, Pierre Garcon, Brandon LaFell, Eddie Royal, and Jaron Brown.
My one major injury concern to keep a look out for is T.Y. HIlton nursing a sore hamstring. He left the game and returned, so there should not be much of a problem, but it is something to keep an eye on.
