As the fantasy football season reaches Week 9, managers face a crucial juncture with only two teams—the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans—on bye. This absence notably impacts those relying on Jaylen Warren and Tony Pollard, the latter of whom has been exceptionally productive over the past two weeks.
The NFL's international series resumes this week, with the Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons meeting at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, on Sunday. This global showcase adds an extra layer of intrigue to the Week 9 slate.
Among the notable risers in this week's rankings are Bhayshul Tuten and Jonah Coleman, who have climbed the ranks. Conversely, several running backs are dealing with injuries, including Jeremiyah Love, while others like Omarion Hampton and TreVeyon Henderson are falling due to demotion or declining production. Streaming options are limited based on matchups, so managers should consult Start 'Em, Sit 'Em later this week for detailed advice.
Below are the complete Week 9 fantasy running back rankings. Be sure to check back regularly for updates, especially after final team injury reports are released late in the week.

Key Analysis
Jahmyr Gibbs claims the top spot this week, benefiting from a favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Bijan Robinson and Kenneth Walker III round out the top three, with Walker facing a tough New York Jets defense. Christian McCaffrey remains a staple in the top five despite a challenging matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Managers should monitor injury reports closely, as several running backs are questionable, and bye weeks continue to thin the pool of reliable starters.
