It’s Thursday, so it’s time for the Week 9 fantasy football player rankings. PlayThisGuy.com has given us their Top 10 players at QB, RB, WR, TE, K, and D/ST. They go around the Internet collecting data from fantasy football sites far and wide, and collate it into easily digestible consensus tables for your viewing pleasure.
The pundits like the San Diego Chargers this week. What with going against the Texans defense and all. But, a note of caution - even though Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates are ranked number one at their respective positions, injury could change that by Sunday. Antonio Gates tore his plantar fascia and may miss the game. Obviously, that would mean he's no longer the number one at tight end, but it could also mean a slight downgrade for Philip Rivers. Although with he Texans pass defense, you still have to like his odds.
As predicted on this site last week, new Dallas quarterback Jon Kitna would find a connection with tight end Jason Witten. He did to the tune of 97 yards, one touchdown and 13 targets. Safe to say Witten is an excellent play as long as Kitna is in at quarterback.
And with no Rob Bironas this week (and no Randy Moss as the Titans are on a bye), Sebastian Janikowski becomes the number one place kicker.
