What NFL teams have a bye in Week 9?
I hope you enjoyed the break from the bye weeks last week, as they make their return in Week 9 with two NFL teams on bye week this week.
Last week, all 32 NFL teams played a game for the first time since Week 4. It was a welcome break for fantasy managers to not have to think about who to replace in their lineups. But this week, the bye week is back with two teams on bye in Week 9 and the next break not coming until Week 13.
NFL teams on bye: Week 9
In Week 9, the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers are on a bye week. For fantasy managers, that means no Brock Purdy, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Jordan Mason, Russell Wilson, George Pickens, or Najee Harris.
The Steelers are at 6-2 heading into the bye week and are coming off of a 26-18 win over the New York Giants. The 49ers also enter the bye week fresh off a win over the Dallas Cowboys, bringing their record to 4-4.
While this week has just two teams on bye, Weeks 10 and 11 will have four teams on bye and Weeks 12 and 14 will have six teams on bye, so make sure you pay attention and set your fantasy lineups accordingly.
