Week 9 Rankings

Week 9 player rankings have finally taken a more consistent turn as the ideal "buy low" candidates like Keenan Allen, Zac Stacy and Fred Jackson have finally decisively emerged as solid starters with a high volume of targets and touches. Going forward it will be interesting to see how the changing RB landscape at teams like Philly (Riley Cooper), St. Louis (Zac Stacy),  Arizona (Andre Ellington) and New York (Andre Brown) evolves for the rest of the season.

Before I crunch the numbers for week 9 (consensus rankings haven't been adequately updated at this point in time) we should make sure to keep an eye out on the following players:

QB:

• Nick Foles (possibly solidified is start ahead of Vick even when he returns to health)
• Jay Cutler (coming back from injury earlier than expected, Alshon Jeffery showing he's the real deal)
• Tom Brady (was priced extremely low due to his horrible first half of the season)
• Case Keenum (great showing as a solid QB option for Texas)

RB:

• Zac Stacy (a few great games in a row, now the obvious starter and focal point of STL offense)
• Andre Ellington (this is riskier, depends on how he is utilized by the AZ coaches)
• Andre Brown (coming back from injury, might now get full workload immediately but the only back in NY and very talented)
• Lamar Miller (finally getting consistent 15-18 carries a game, a solid option if priced reasonably)

WR:

• Riley Cooper (Foles loves this guy so much that he'll be a solid pick every week)
• Alshon Jeffery (looked the part of a legit WR1, if Jay Cutler comes back could do even better)
• Keenan Allen (if he's still priced dirt cheap he'll be a great option)
• Antonio Brown (finally showed what kind of numbers he's capable of if he finds the end zone)

Anyway, this is all purely speculative, it might not make sense to pick up most of these guys if they're not priced advantageously at the various websites.
