Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings: A Look at the Top Quarterbacks

Joe Burrow leads the fantasy football rankings as the top quarterback for Week 9, with Cincinnati operating with a league-high 66% neutral pass rate. Burrow leads the league in passing yards per game (302) and passing touchdowns per game (2.9). The Bengals enter as 3-point road favorites with an implied team total of 27.25 points, facing an Atlanta defense that allows 16.3 half PPR points per game to quarterbacks.

Josh Allen follows closely behind at QB2 in fantasy rankings. Despite facing the Vikings' elite defense, Allen has been a force in fantasy football, generating 28.2 points per game. His performance has not been hindered by the absence of DJ Moore, and the Bills enter as 3.5-point road favorites with an implied team total of 25.0 points.

Brock Purdy, fantasy's QB4, faces a potential setback as Mike Evans may or may not return from an Achilles injury. Purdy has been efficient against quality opponents, ranking first in EPA per dropback and averaging 17.3 fantasy points per game over his last four starts. The Raiders' defense allows 21.8 half PPR points per game to QBs, making it a dream matchup for Purdy.

Jared Goff, fantasy's QB4, has been a consistent performer throughout the season. Despite a disappointing Week 9 outing against the Vikings, Goff remains at the top of the EPA per dropback rankings and is leading the league in yards and touchdowns. The Miami defense allows 20.8 half PPR points per game to QBs, creating a perfect environment for Goff's passing game.
