Fantasy Football Week Nine Rankings: Wide Receivers

With baseball season officially brought to a close with the Philadelphia Phillies being crowned World Series Champions, it's all about football now.

Yes, the NBA is under way and hockey has started, but really, those season's are so long, these first couple of months don't matter. But, as you've already learned, every week of the football season is an important one. With that in mind, the Bruno Boys continue to provide you with the best fantasy football information found on the Web.

Don't believe us? Well, just read through the Bruno Boys Fantasy Football Week Nine Wide Receiver Rankings, and we think you'll change your tone.
--------------------

1. Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals) @ St. Louis

From a fantasy football perspective, there isn't a wide receiver in football as steady as Fitzgerald. He has at least nine fantasy points in every game this year, has scored a touchdown in four different games, and his 43 receptions are tied for sixth overall in the NFL.

Plus, Fitzgerald is known for posting big games against the Rams (eight career TDs in eight games), and with Kurt Warner playing his best football since 2001, nothing will change here. Expect just another ordinary game from Fitzgerald, which is usually good for around 16-19 fantasy points.
Point Projection: 19 points

--------------------

2. Roddy White (Atlanta Falcons) @ Oakland

"Hot Rod" Roddy White, as we like to call him, has been on fire of late. He has 59 fantasy points in standard leagues over the past three games and has turned into quarterback Matt Ryan's main threat.

The Raiders are a better defensive team at home, but you can expect Ryan to rely on his playmaker all afternoon. Even if Raiders cover-cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha is known for locking down opposing wideouts, the Bruno Boys feel White will get the best of him.
Point Projection: 18 points

--------------------

3. Andre Johnson (Houston Texans) @ Minnesota

After a slow start, many people panicked and traded Johnson. Imagine how they feel now, as the six-year veteran has 70 fantasy points over the last four games and is showing no signs of slowing down.

With the Texans offense turning into a juggernaut over the last five games, it looks as if even a stout Vikings defense will have trouble containing the Texans and their superstar.
Point Projection: 18 points

--------------------

4. Brandon Marshall (Denver Broncos) vs. Miami

Marshall hasn't scored since Week Four but is still averaging 99.7 yards per game. He needs to get back on track, and he has a nice matchup against the Dolphins, who rank 25th in the NFL against the pass. The Broncos' offense has struggled over the past month, so the bye week should have helped them make adjustments, and we fully expect them to come off the bye week clicking. As always, Marshall is a must start.
Point Projection: 17 points

--------------------

5. Anquan Boldin (Arizona Cardinals) @ St. Louis

Boldin missed two games due to multiple injuries after getting knocked out in Week Four, but last week he came back with a vengeance. He scored twice, had 63 receiving yards, and saw 12 targets from quarterback Kurt Warner. You know the Cardinals will be throwing early and often in this game, so you can expect Boldin to build on his league-leading seven touchdown receptions.
Point Projection: 16 points

--------------------

6. Lee Evans (Buffalo Bills) vs. New York Jets

Now this is what the Buffalo Bills expected when they drafted him 13th overall in 2004. The speedster has 17 receptions for 305 receiving yards and two touchdowns over the last three weeks. Plus, his 15 receptions since Week Seven makes us believe that the Bills are starting to use him more as a possession receiver.

The Jets allow 232 passing yards per contest and 23 receptions per game to their opponents, so you can expect another stellar game from Evans.
Point Projection: 16 points

--------------------

7. Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis Colts) vs. New England

Wayne has just 53 receiving yards since Week Seven, and there is no doubt in our mind that he will approach the century mark and score a touchdown in this game. As we saw last week, the Patriots' defense is vulnerable over the top, so you better believe Peyton Manning will be looking for Wayne downfield this week. Plus, if the Colts get Joseph Addai back, it should lead to defenses needing to equally focus on the rushing attack.
Point Projection: 15 points
