Before we get to the top 100 overall players in PPR fantasy leagues for Week 9 (a list that can be helpful when deciding on flex starters), we have a few notes.

First thing is as always: There are no quarterbacks included here. If your fantasy league has a superflex spot and you have a QB2 ranked around the top 20, it's pretty easy to start him in that spot.

In addition, the bye tickets are back. However, there are only two teams this week: the Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Francisco 49ers. Not having a red-hot Najee Harris available is a liability, but the Niners need time to get healthy in a worst-case scenario.

Light a candle for Christian McCaffrey.

Beyond that, there is no sound advice: unless you are 2-6 or worse, nothing is decided yet. (And 2-6 teams could win and still make the playoffs.) Don't worry about your lineup, but think about the wrong decision in Week 4 where you're 3-5 instead of 4-4. If you need to refill the grinds, chop them into pieces. Make every game a season in itself. Focus on that. Week 9. This is it.

Cross bridges as you pass them and you might surprise yourself and start walking.
