Week 9 Fantasy Football Projections: Top WRs Who Will Dominate on the Gridiron

After some surprises among receivers last week, Week 9 of the 2012-13 fantasy football campaign features some big-time wideouts matched up against some forgiving pass defenses.

In Week 8, Titus Young, Michael Crabtree, Demaryius Thomas, Julio Jones and Eric Decker scored the most fantasy points among receivers.

Which receivers will score the most fantasy points in Week 9?

Read on, fantasy football fanatics.

5. A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals (vs. Denver Broncos)

A.J. Green has scored 103 fantasy points in ESPN standard leagues this season (tied for most among receivers with Victor Cruz).

While the Broncos have allowed just 6.4 yards per pass attempt this season (sixth in the NFL), they have also given up 13 passing touchdowns so receivers can post good fantasy numbers against them from time to time.

4. Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions (at Jacksonville Jaguars)

Yes, one of the NFL's best receivers has been in a funk the past two weeks, but you can't expect Calvin Johnson to continue to struggle for much longer. 

The Jaguars have allowed 6.9 yards per pass attempt this season (14th) and given up nine passing touchdowns.

3. Steve Smith, Carolina Panthers (at Washington Redskins)

Steve Smith just erupted for a season-high 11 fantasy points (seven catches, 118 yards) against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.

Now he faces a Washington Redskins defense that has allowed 7.9 yards per pass attempt (26th in the NFL) and a league-high 19 passing touchdowns.

Good luck, Redskins.

2. Demaryius Thomas, Denver Broncos (at Cincinnati Bengals)

Demaryius Thomas has not only posted 83 fantasy points this season (tied for seventh-most among receivers), he faces a Bengals defense allowing 7.8 yards per pass attempt (25th in the NFL). 

Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Antonio Brown caught seven balls for 97 yards against Cincinnati in Week 7.

1. Brandon Marshall, Chicago Bears (at Tennessee Titans)

Brandon Marshall has registered the fourth-most fantasy points (88) among receivers this season.

He's also facing the Titans, who have allowed 7.9 yards per pass attempt (27th in the league) and 17 passing touchdowns this season.

This could be a huge game for Marshall.
