  "account": "Week 9 fantasy football rankings have surfaced, offering insights into rising players and hidden gems. In the quarterback position, Joe Burrow leads the pack with 42.5 points, exceeding others combined. Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis (20% rostered) emerges as a riser, having consistently scored inside the top-15 for the last three weeks. Sam Darnold and the Cardinals also stand out with a favorable matchup against a weak defense. Running back Seth McGowan (31% rostered) from the Colts could become the RB1 for many, given his role as Indianapolis's backup behind Jonathan Taylor. Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. (27%) showed strong numbers in Week 8, carrying the most snaps and touches. Browns RB Dylan Sampson (17%) had the most snaps and routes in Cleveland's recent games, making him a streaming option in PPR formats. Wide receiver Antonio Williams of the Commanders (26%) had a breakout performance against the Eagles, leading the team in snaps, routes, and targets. Caleb Douglas of the Dolphins (28%) has been a consistent performer, and with the Patriots' key players injured, Douglas could continue to generate high-value targets. Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (11%) had a standout game, but his future remains uncertain due to competition from Garrett Wilson.",
