You’ve got your fantasy football lineup all but set for the week, with a few tweaks to be made here and there as Sunday’s slate of games is ready to kick off.
But you’re trying to optimize your lineup to make sure you get the most points. And that’s why you have to make sure your quarterback position has the best possible squad to win you the week.
That’s what these rankings will help with: A look at the elite, solid, and streamable options that could win you some virtual games in your league.
Let’s break down the Week 9 quarterback tiers:
Elite
Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports
1. Josh Allen (at Bengals)
2. Tua Tagovailoa (at Chiefs, in Germany)
3. Patrick Mahomes (vs. Dolphins, in Germany)
4. Jalen Hurts (vs. Cowboys)
5. Lamar Jackson (vs. Seahawks)
It’s always hard to know what to expect from international games, but Tua and Mahomes are playing too well to justify ranking them any lower.
Solid
Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports
6. Joe Burrow (vs. Bills)
7. Dak Prescott (at Eagles)
8. Matthew Stafford (at Packers)
9. Justin Herbert (at Jets)
10. Baker Mayfield (at Texans)
If Stafford is unable to play, Mayfield should be still be available on waivers and is worth a grab.

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports
11. C.J. Stroud (vs. Buccanneers)
12. Geno Smith (at Ravens)
13. Bryce Young (vs. Colts)
14. Gardner Minshew (at Panthers)
15. Aidan O’Connell (vs. Giants)
This is a pretty brutal bye week, so may as well throw some darts on quarterbacks with favorable matchups.
