- Dave Richard published a Week 9 PPR cheat sheet breaking down every viable starting option across every game, scoring each on a 1-10 confidence scale to help managers navigate injuries, byes and tricky lineup decisions.
- Jonah Coleman vaults into borderline must-start territory in the Week 9 PPR cheat sheet, the one player move the source title singles out.
- Confidence ratings on the 1-10 scale are explicitly not projections: the higher the number beside a player's name, the more confident the call is to start him.
- Every relevant player for the week is listed, and a name missing from the sheet should not be started; the guide is searchable via CTRL-F on PCs, Command-F on Macs, typing a name in the URL bar or scrolling down by game.
- Week 9 brings several teams on bye, injuries shaking up depth charts and several big-name players facing difficult matchups, complicating every start-sit call.
- CBS Sports companion Week 9 coverage frames the slate around tough start/sit calls and flex decisions, while a second companion offers rankings, projections, lineups and sleepers from a proven model.
- Real-time rankings: Sunday readers are directed to CBS Sports' weekly rankings, which update in real time, and can send questions to Dave via @DaveRichard using the #AskFFT hashtag.
Why it matters: Fantasy managers facing several Week 9 bye teams and injury reshuffles get a concrete rule instead of debate: every relevant player is listed, and a name missing from the sheet means don't start him. The 1-10 scale sorts starter calls from bench spots, and CBS Sports' rankings refresh in real time on Sunday for late decisions.
