Fantasy Football Week 9: Rankings, Projections and Waiver-Wire Tips

After weeks of relative silence on the bye front—Week 4 has been the only major wave of off days thus far—Week 9 has arrived like a swift kick to the stomach. Aaron Rodgers, Julio Jones, Matt Forte and about 800 others who don't qualify for the rule of three are off.    

Gone are players from three of the four NFC North teams and basically all of the usable players from a fantasy perspective in that division. Also sitting out next Sunday are teams featuring promising young players in Tennessee and Buffalo, along with disappointing but still usable ones in Atlanta.

For once, the waiver wire will be used to atone for an NFL-related absence rather than injuries of our own futility. It might actually feel cathartic to drop an underperforming player while knowing an actual good one will be returning a week from now. OK, check that—I know waiving goodbye to Zac Stacy will be among the happiest moments of my year.

But before we get to the whole waiver craziness, it's time to check in on the guys who will actually take the field this coming week. Let's hope I can find enough of them to fill out these rankings.

Top Dog: Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos

Manning is the human fantasy football cheat code. After Thursday's 35-21 thrashing of San Diego, Manning is on pace to throw for 50 touchdowns and seven interceptions this season. Keeping that pace would make the five-time MVP the first player in league history with multiple 50-touchdown seasons—a fitting record in a campaign full of them.

Joe Mahoney/Associated Press

It's befuddling to think three years ago we were worried about whether Manning would ever play football again. Now defensive coordinators wonder if he'll ever stop. The Broncos have surrounded him with top-level skill-position talent, and Manning somehow places lame-duck throws more accurately than players who spin Aaron Rodgers-level spirals.

The dude is just incredible. As we head into Manning vs. Brady XXLXXLELXWAYTOOMANY (I'm bad at Roman numerals), it'll be fun to marvel at these greats one more (last?) time. 

Sleeper: Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals

Ross D. Franklin/Associated Press

Putting Carson Palmer in your starting lineup is a one-way ticket to avoiding the Cardinals game at all costs. Nothing Palmer does on a football field is pretty at this point. Everything from a 30-yard post to a six-yard slant looks like it takes painstaking effort. Palmer, who was drafted five years after Manning, looks five years older.

But the results speak for themselves. Palmer has thrown two touchdowns in each of his four starts this season and hasn't dipped below the 250-yard mark. While much of his 329-yard day in Week 8 can be attributed to a semi-flukish 80-yard Larry Fitzgerald touchdown, it was also a byproduct of the Eagles' mistake-prone secondary.

Arizona takes on a Dallas defense that is far shakier than point totals and yardage numbers suggest. Football Outsiders' DVOA metric had the Cowboys 19th in overall defense coming into this week. Palmer should be a solid bye-week play available in most leagues.

Beware: Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers

Always beware of the typically middling player a week after he goes God Mode. Prior to Sunday's 522-yard, six-touchdown bonanza at Heinz Field, Roethlisberger was averaging 265 yards and a little under 1.5 touchdowns per game. He was a perfectly middle-of-the-road option, someone thrown in whenever a star went down with an injury or during a bye.

Bake in his numbers from Sunday and suddenly Roethlisberger looks like an MVP candidate. His pace numbers suggest he'll thrown for 4,760 yards and 32 touchdowns against six interceptions, an expectation wildly out of line with historical context. Big Ben will regress to his career mean going forward. Treat the win over Indy as an unexpected boon rather than a marker of what to expect.

Top Dog: DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys

It's possible Murray's wheels fall off Monday night against Washington and this ranking looks silly by the time you open the page. Assuming Murray gets through his eighth straight game healthy, though, there is no reason to switch up the status quo.

Brandon Wade/Associated Press

The former Oklahoma star leads the NFL in nearly every major rushing category, with the most important being carries and yards. Scott Linehan is feeding his running back at a 1975-level clip at a time when running back carries are disappearing faster than Barnes & Noble stores. There are legitimate long-term concerns here about Murray's workload, but those don't apply to fantasy owners.

As long as the Cowboys and Murray are happy with the record workload, nothing will change atop the running back rankings.

Sleeper: Mark Ingram, New Orleans Saints

Rogelio Solis/Associated Press

Ingram used to be a sleeper only in the context that his running style was a leading cause of narcolepsy. The former first-round pick spent his first three NFL seasons deep in the depths of Bustville, rarely breaking runs longer than a handful of yards and struggling to carve out a role.

While injuries robbed him of a three-game stretch earlier this season, Ingram is 3-for-4 turning in solid performances in 2014. He had a career-high 172 yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's win over the Packers, running with a style reminiscent of his days at Alabama. For the season, Ingram is averaging 5.7 yards per carry and is already one away from matching his career-high touchdown mark.

It's not quite a breakout on the level of Murray, but the Saints appear to have found a competent "lead" back. New Orleans heads to Carolina on Thursday. The Panthers defense, among the most ferocious attacks in 2013, has been reduced to a pack of kitty cats. This should be the week where Ingram emerges as an every-week start.

Beware: Any Tampa Bay Running Back

Reinhold Matay/Associated Press

Because:

A) The Buccaneers are bad at football.

B) Doug Martin left Sunday's game with an ankle injury.

C) Doug Martin has not been good when healthy.

D) Bobby Rainey and Mike James are listed as the backups, which engenders exactly zero faith.

E) Charles Sims, the Bucs' talented third-round pick, could make his NFL debut this week. Sims has the highest upside of this trio but might work his way back into the fold slowly.

F) The Buccaneers are bad at football.

Top Dog: Demaryius Thomas, Denver Broncos

The first three weeks of 2014 saw Demaryius look like the second Thomas in command in Denver's offense. His subsequent three performances have made him look like the best receiver in football. Thomas has gone over 100 yards each game and has five total touchdowns since the Broncos' Week 4 bye, including games of 226 and 171 yards.

As we've established, Peyton Manning remains good at football. For as long as he's upright Thomas will be a top-five option. Plus, wide receiver is a horror show this week because of byes. Putting him and Antonio Brown atop the rankings was the easiest decision of my Monday morning.

Sleeper: Brandon LaFell, New England Patriots

Elise Amendola/Associated Press

Gleaning fantasy information from a Bill Belichick team is a weekly migraine. It's almost as if Belichick uses the regular season as his own personal playground designed specifically to prod analysts and reporters. 

Case in point: Welcome to relevance, Brandon LaFell. The offseason signee made 11 receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's rout of Chicago, marking yet another seemingly random Patriots breakout. LaFell had seen ramped-up duty of late, but there seemed to be a clear hierarchy between him and Julian Edelman.

That may no longer be the case. Edelman was targeted four times to LaFell's 11 and has had four or fewer fantasy points in four of his last five games. With Rob Gronkowski back at close to 100 percent, there may only be room for one relevant New England wideout. Sunday hinted that person will be LaFell.

Beware: The Entire Wide Receiver Position

Tim Ireland/Associated Press

No, seriously. Wide receiver is a post apocalyptic hellscape. For funsies, here's a list of notable players who aren't available in Week 9: Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate, Sammy Watkins, Julio Jones, Roddy White, Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Jordy Nelson, Jerry Rice, Randall Cobb, Michael Irvin, Tim Brown and Kendall Wright.

Only three of those players are retired.

Rank	Player	Projection
1	Rob Gronkowski, NE	14 Points
2	Julius Thomas, DEN	12 Points
3	Jimmy Graham, NO	10 Points
4	Antonio Gates, SD	8 Points
5	Greg Olsen, CAR	7 Points
6	Jordan Reed, WAS	7 Points

13	Jason Witten, DAL	4 Points
14	Larry Donnell, NYG	4 Points
15	Charles Clay, MIA	4 Points

Top Dog: Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots

In 58 career games, Rob Gronkowski has scored 49 touchdowns. To put that in perspective, only nine tight ends since the merger have 50 or more receiving touchdowns, per Pro-Football-Reference.com. All of those players except Antonio Gates have scored on average a touchdown in less than half of their games.

Gronkowski would have to go without a touchdown for his next 40 games to even reach the 50 percent mark. When healthy, he's among the greatest red-zone threats in NFL history. With his snaps ramping up and his body appearing as close to full strength as it'll get, Gronkowski may separate himself from Julius Thomas and Jimmy Graham going forward.

At the very least, everyone who rolled the dice on him in August is in a constant state of Gronk Spike.

Sleeper: Mychal Rivera, Oakland Raiders

Tony Dejak/Associated Press

Tight end isn't nearly as depleted as wideout this week, so it's unlikely anyone is desperate enough to start a Raiders tight end. But if by some miracle you're in a league where masochism earns extra points, Rivera might be worth a roll of the dice.

The Tennessee product had the best game of his career in Week 8, grabbing seven passes for 83 yards in Oakland's loss to the Browns. Having made only five receptions for 39 yards in his previous four games, odds are this is an outlier. 

But the Seahawks have been killed by opposing tight ends on the red zone this season, allowing an NFL-high eight touchdowns heading into this week. (The Jets already tied the mark and the Cowboys have their chance later Monday.) Rivera is a sneaky play in super-deep leagues.

Beware: Jordan Cameron, Cleveland Browns

Tony Dejak/Associated Press

From Pro Bowler in 2013 to fantasy irrelevance in 2014. Not only has Cameron's season been riddled with injuries but he's not been all that effective when on the field. He's not eclipsed three receptions in a game yet and has only one game where he's put up more than four fantasy points.

The tight end isn't used the same in Kyle Shanahan's system as it was under Norv Turner. With ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler reporting Cameron suffered a concussion against Oakland, there's no good reason to have him in your lineup. He's probably droppable in standard formats.

Top Dog: Cincinnati Bengals

Blake Bortles is, umm, [tries to think of a proper way to context this while giving him leeway because he's a rookie] mistake prone. Yes. That's it. Prone to one or two (or six) throws per game that make you wonder if he'd played football before that particular Sunday.

The third overall pick has 12 interceptions over his first 208 pass attempts, good for by far the highest interception rate in football. Kirk Cousins, who was benched for Colt Freaking McCoy, throws picks significantly less often. As does Geno Smith. Samesies for Teddy Bridgewater, Nick Foles and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The Bengals, meanwhile, are tied for the fifth-most interceptions in football. This is not going to end well for Mr. Bortles.

Sleeper: Cleveland Browns

Jonathan Bachman/Associated Press

Available in nearly 80 percent of ESPN.com leagues, the Browns get to play the Buccaneers this week. That sentence is all the justification I need.

Beware: Houston Texans

Mark Zaleski/Associated Press

The Texans have struggled defending the pass most of the season, ranking near the bottom in every major statistical category. Their opponent in Week 9, the Eagles, have thrown the ball more often than all but three teams despite already having their bye.

Nick Foles hasn't been great making those throws, mind you. On average, though, Philly should take advantage of enough breakdowns in the Houston secondary to make this an untenable setup from a fantasy perspective. 

Rank	Player	Projection
1	Stephen Gostkowski, NE	12 Points

(Weekly reminder that you have a SLIGHTLY better chance at predicting kicker production than winning the Powerball. Again: SLIGHTLY. We'll keep this quick.)

Top Dog: Stephen Gostkowski, New England Patriots

If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Gostkowski is the best kicker in football. The Patriots offense is going to play a Denver team that will be satisfied holding them to field goals rather than stopping them outright. 

Sleeper: Chandler Catanzaro, Arizona Cardinals

He's been among the top-scoring kickers all season and is still available in a ton of leagues. The Cardinals offense has been consistent enough that he's an every-week start. Still haven't figured out how to say his last name, though.

Beware: Of Haunted Houses

They're a rip-off. Also, beware of kickers on bad teams. But whatever. The important lesson is do not pay $25 to walk through a poorly lit barn with some poorly hung fake spider webs and your neighbor Sue dressed up as a witch. I don't care if it benefits the local church. Get better at your jobs, haunted house organizers.

Waiver-Wire Advice

Here is a list of players owned in 50 percent or less of ESPN.com standard leagues who deserve a roster spot:

Player	Position	Team	Ownership
Carson Palmer	QB	Arizona Cardinals	13.4%
Ronnie Hillman	RB	Denver Broncos	30.2%
Denard Robinson	RB	Jacksonville Jaguars	16.4%
Anthony Dixon	RB	Buffalo Bills	4.1%
Charles Sims	RB	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	0.2%
Jonas Gray	RB	New England Patriots	0.1%
Odell Beckham Jr.	WR	New York Giants	22.7%
Andre Holmes	WR	Oakland Raiders	14.2%
Andrew Hawkins	WR	Cleveland Browns	9.9%
Brandon LaFell	WR	New England Patriots	8.8%
Allen Robinson	WR	Jacksonville Jaguars	3.8%

Grab Him Now: Ronnie Hillman (RB, Denver Broncos)

If Montee Ball regains his starting role when he returns from injury, someone needs to put John Fox through an intervention. The Denver offense, which soared the early part of the season despite its sputtering running game, has looked markedly better with Hillman behind Manning.

Jack Dempsey/Associated Press

Hillman has rushed for 283 yards and two touchdowns over the last three weeks, mixing in pass-catching skills as a safety valve underneath. The Broncos are averaging 37.25 points in the games where Hillman has received a majority of the work against 25 per contest when Ball totes the rock more.

The only issue from a fantasy perspective is goal-line carries, which appear headed the way of players other than Ronnie Hillman. Juwan Thompson scored twice from the fullback spot Thursday, and Ball will probably get most short-yardage looks when he returns. That said, this isn't 2004. Running backs can have value now even if they're not scoring a ton if they get a consistent volume of work.

Hillman has done enough to earn the starting job in Denver.

Stash Him While You Can: Charles Sims (RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

Phelan M. Ebenhack/Associated Press

We already alluded to the mess that is the Buccaneers running back situation. Doug Martin is ineffective and was on the trade block before getting injured, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Rainey has been shaky during his limited run with Martin out of the lineup, and Lovie Smith appears to have no interest in putting James in his backfield.

All of this lines up perfectly for Sims, who is a second-half breakout candidate. The versatile speedster, who split his collegiate days between Houston and West Virginia, is a perfect fit on paper for Smith's preferred offensive style. He showed soft hands and a patient, albeit still explosive running style, which drew comparisons to Matt Forte even before his former coach drafted him.

Tampa lacks a coherent offensive structure, so it's hard to see him blasting out of the gate into top-10 status. There are too many variables here, most critically with the Bucs' struggling offensive line. With an ankle injury keeping him on short-term injured reserve for the first half, it's best to take a hands-off approach and see how he's deployed.

If you have a free roster spot, though, Sims is one of the best stash candidates available.

Wondering who to drop? Here is a list of players owned in 50 percent or more of ESPN.com leagues you can feel free throwing back into the waiver pool: 

Player	Position	Team	Ownership
Doug Martin	RB	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	98.1%
Shonn Greene	RB	Tennessee Titans	77.6%
Zac Stacy	RB	St. Louis Rams	89.6%
C.J. Spiller	RB	Buffalo Bills	70.4%

Top Drop of the Week: Percy Harvin (WR, New York Jets)

Since it appears we're in the midst of Persecute Percy October (that would be so much better if there were a month starting with P), let us join in on the party.

Harvin made his Jets debut Sunday and it went largely as expected. He was on the field for 44 offensive snaps, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, and was given the ball in low-risk situations, with the Jets hoping he'd make something out of nothing.

Those nothings were largely kept as just that. You've probably already seen the hilariously failed trick kickoff return. Harvin also managed to gain only 50 yards from scrimmage on his seven offensive touches, continuing a run of ineffectiveness dating back to his Seattle days.

Seth Wenig/Associated Press

For the season, Harvin's 25 receptions have resulted in 155 yards. His 15 rushing attempts have been more successful at eight yards a clip, but a good amount of that production came on one 51-yard run in Week 2.

Things aren't suddenly going to get better in New York. I'm not sure if you're aware, but going from Russell Wilson to Geno Smith/Michael Vick/Fireman Ed/Random Guy on the Street is a downgrade. Harvin is a dynamic player who can affect the game in myriad ways when he's being used correctly.

I have zero faith that anything will happen correctly with this Jets team.
