The trade deadline came and went this Tuesday, though it was very uneventful from a fantasy football perspective. Fortunately, that makes things a bit more predictable for us. The biggest thing now is to pay attention to the injury reports that come out, as there are some big names who could miss Week 9. On Sunday morning, I post updated rankings with the biggest injury news of the week so you don’t get left with a giant donut in your lineup. Based on what we know, here’s my early look at Week 9 rankings, though it’s important to note that there will be changes throughout the week.

When looking at the rankings, I fully expect you to have some questions on why your favorite player is ranked too low, or why your least favorite player is ranked too high. That’s where The Primer comes in. That’s the article where I write a paragraph from every fantasy relevant player from every game (yes, even Zay Jones and Willie Snead). Whether it be snap counts, injuries, or cornerback matchups, it’s all covered there. The Primer comes out every Thursday morning, so if you’re wondering why a player is higher or lower than you’d think, the answer will be in there. Until then, here’s my early look at Week 9 rankings.
