Yahoo Sports Week 9 fantasy RB rankings: Best starts at running back
With the Houston Texans' receiving corps depleted by injuries, they've turned to workhorse running back Joe Mixon to carry the offense. And Mixon has responded. Since returning from an ankle injury in Week 6, he's posted three consecutive 100-yard rushing games with at least one touchdown in each.
Fantasy football rankings for Week 9 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.
