The wide receiver position continues to take big hits in the fantasy world, as we lost Stefon Diggs, Brian Thomas Jr. and Christian Kirk this past week. So, when you’re looking at that position, you’ll see a massive lack of reliable options outside of the top 15-20 players.

With that said, here’s my positional PPR player rankings for Week 9.

There are some major movers this week, including Bo Nix (up), Javonte Williams (down), Puka Nacua (way up) and the return of T.J. Hockenson. For those who need help with tough calls between players with similar value or with nice Week 9 matchups, I’m here for you!

And when you're done reviewing the rankings, you still won't want to set your starting lineup without checking out my Start Em, Sit Em columns at every position:

QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | Ks & DSTs
