Week 9 Fantasy Football Projections

(USA Today Sports Images)

If Calvin Johnson wasn't 7 yards short of the single game receiving record, Cincinnati's Marvin Jones would have been the sole receiver atop the Week 8 scoring leaders. Jones racked up 122 yards with 4 TDs on 8 receptions, tying Johnson with 36 ESPN standard points. This from a player owned in 1.1% of leagues. 

This week you'll be able to see Jones Thursday night against Miami, and you may have to scramble to the waiver wire this busy bye week. Here are the ESPN standard scoring projections for week 9. Bold indicates the player is owned in less than 75% of all leagues.

Philip Rivers continues to impress
