Fantasy Football Week 9 Running Back Projections & Rankings: Start Jonah Coleman, Tyler Allgeier
Full running back projections, rankings, best and worst picks, sleepers, and statistical leaders in Week 9 fantasy football.
Week 9 projections for fantasy football running backs highlight Jahmyr Gibbs and Kenneth Walker III as the top performers. Rising stars include D Andre Swift and Braelon Allen, while Ashton Jeanty and Saquon Barkley are expected to fall.
Thomas Carelli is averaging 5.5 yards per attempt and has six touchdowns in seven games, validating his 109-yard rushing projection. Braelon Allen, with at least 104 rushing yards in three of his last four games, is projected as the top reason the Jets may trade Breece Hall.
Injury updates indicate that Bhayshul Tuten's projection will be monitored as the week progresses. Final projections will be released on Saturday evening.
High-upside running backs to watch are Thomas Carelli and newcomer Tyler Allgeier, who has played extensively due to Jeremiyah Love's injury. Allgeier is projected for over 20 touches in Week 9.
Running backs to sit include Jordan Mason, who has a high attempt count compared to Aaron Jones' limited opportunities. The Vikings have also averaged 17.3 points over their last four games, limiting scoring upside for Mason.
