Another week with six teams on bye (Patriots, Bengals, Bears, Texans, Cardinals, Redskins) means another week with some thinned-out fantasy rankings. The Week 9 start 'em, sit 'em decisions won't be easy for anyone, especially if we're waiting for game-time decisions on injured players like Spencer Ware.
Our rankings, which will be updated until kickoff on Sunday, are full of tough calls, especially on committee backfields (Darren Sproles vs. Ryan Mathews? Peyton Barber vs. Antone Smith? etc.) and QBs/WRs with tough matchups (mainly Raiders and Lions). Fortunately, thanks to favorable matchups, there are some "easy" calls at TE and D/ST, though they feature players that most owners won't feel comfortable using.
