Week 9 QB rankings and QB tiers: Ian Hartitz ranks his top 30 quarterbacks for Week 9 of fantasy football (with the Steelers and Titans on bye) and sorts them into four tiers. Josh Allen is the QB1 even in a tough Monday night matchup at Minnesota, Kirk Cousins is the QB12, and Malik Willis is the QB16 and the streamer of the week against a Lions defense allowing nearly five more fantasy points per game to quarterbacks than the next-worst group. After each of the first three tiers Ian stops for a bigger question about the position.
