NBC Sports fantasy football analyst Patrick Daugherty has released his Week 9 rankings for tight ends, kickers, and defense/special teams units. The rankings, published on November 5, 2026, aim to help fantasy managers set their lineups for the upcoming NFL weekend.
Daugherty's weekly positional rankings are a staple for fantasy football players seeking an edge. The Week 9 edition focuses on three often-overlooked positions that can swing matchups: tight end, kicker, and team defense.
Fantasy managers can consult the full rankings to identify start-worthy options and potential sleepers at each position.
