In a storyline that rivaled some of the best from professional wrestling, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson made a dramatic return to the gridiron in the opening game of Week 8 to complete one of the more amazing comebacks in NFL history. After leaving the stadium in an ambulance and being transported to the hospital with what turned out to be a broken rib, Watson returned to the game in the second half to add a couple more catches to his eight-reception, 113-yard night. Watson won't be the only standout receiver playing this week with that ailment. Michael Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals apparently caught the game-tying TD pass last week in Dallas with two broken ribs.ON BYE: Pittsburgh, TennesseeRankings by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.Fantasy football Week 9 wide receiver rankings(*- double-check status before kickoff)Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Sea. vs. Ari.Ja'Marr Chase, Cin. at Atl.CeeDee Lamb, Dal. at Ind.Amon-Ra St. Brown, Det. at Mia.Drake London, Atl. vs. Cin.Puka Nacua, L.A.-R at Was.Chris Olave, N.O. vs. Cle.*Christian Watson, G.B. at N.E.Tee Higgins, Cin. at Atl.Malik Nabers, N.Y.-G at Phi.Justin Jefferson, Min. vs. Buf.Zay Flowers, Bal. vs. Jac.Parker Washington, Jac. at Bal.Nico Collins, Hou. at L.A.-CLuther Burden III, Chi. vs. T.B.Garrett Wilson, N.Y.-J at K.C.Jameson Williams, Det. at Mia.*Michael Wilson, Ari. at Sea.Tetairoa McMillan, Car. vs. Den.DJ Moore, Buf. at Min.Tre Tucker, L.V. at S.F.Rashee Rice, K.C. vs. N.Y.-JGeorge Pickens, Dal. at Ind.Ladd McConkey, L.A.-C vs. Hou.Devaughn Vele, N.O. vs. Cle.*A.J.
