This week includes a number of top wide receivers on bye including Brandon Aiyuk, Christian Kirk, and Amon-Ra St. Brown. For any fantasy football teams missing these players this week, these are four players that could be good replacements that have favorable matchups in Week 9.

4 sleepers at wide receiver for fantasy football in Week 9

Michael Thomas (New Orleans Saints)

Michael Thomas is probably not available on the waiver wire in your fantasy football league but if he is, then this is a great replacement in Week 9. Through the first eight games this season, Thomas has not had a Top 20 finish once. However, he has had at least six targets in every game this season.

He remains a big part of this offense and is now set to go against a Chicago Bears defense that has allowed 262 passing yards and the second most receiving touchdowns at 17. Michael Thomas is still looking for his first touchdown of the season but should have a good chance this week to secure that.
