Burrow, Goff, Purdy top Week 9 fantasy football quarterback rankings

MIAMI, Nov. 5 (UPI) — Joe Burrow, Jared Goff and Brock Purdy lead my Top-20 fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 9.

Trevor Lawrence and Josh Allen also are inside the Top 5 of my rankings, which are listed below. Drake Maye, Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford, Jordan Love and Kirk Cousins are my other Top-10 options.

Players from the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans, who are on bye, should be removed from starting lineups.
