Van Jefferson Active For Week 9

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) is active for Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had been listed as questionable after logging limited practice sessions all week long. The 26-year-old logged a 53 percent snap share in his season debut last week but was not targeted. He can be left on […]

Aaron Jones Questionable To Return In Week 9

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (ankle) is questionable to return against the Detroit Lions in Week 9. He exited in the third quarter of the close divisional battle. If Jones is forced to miss any time, AJ Dillon would serve as the lead back, ranking as a solid RB2 option in fantasy football.

Cam Akers Officially Active Sunday

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (personal) is officially active for Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After missing two games due to an internal dispute with the team, he's back in action and could serve as the lead back. Darrell Henderson, Ronnie Rivers, and Malcolm Brown should serve in supporting roles.

Christian Watson, Rashan Gary Exit With Injuries In Week 9

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (head) exited Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions and is being evaluated for a concussion. Presumably, under the terms of the NFL's new protocol, Watson will be unable to return. He finishes with two catches for 24 yards. Meanwhile, pass rusher Rashan Gary (knee) was carted to the […]

Craig Reynolds Ruled Out Sunday

Detroit Lions running back Craig Reynolds (ribs) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. The team will move forward with Jamaal Williams and D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) handling all duties out of the backfield.

Baker Mayfield Replaces PJ Walker In Week 9

Carolina Panthers quarterback PJ Walker has been benched following an atrocious first half against the Cincinnati Bengals. Baker Mayfield took over to open the second half, looking to eat away at a brutal 35-point deficit. Neither player should be viewed as anything more than a QB3 in fantasy football going forward.

Romeo Doubs Ruled Out, David Bakhtiari Questionable To Return

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Week 9. He had been carted to the locker room and was initially listed as questionable. Now, though, he's done for the day. He caught one pass for 18 yards before exiting the game. Sammy Watkins and Christian […]

James Conner Returning In Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is officially active for Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. He had been listed as questionable but will ultimately return after a three-game absence. He should handle rushing duties for Arizona while Eno Benjamin plays passing downs. Both players are solid RB3 options in fantasy football this week.

Mark Andrews Downgraded To Out For Week 9

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee) has been downgraded to out for Week 9. He will not play against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. With the Ravens on bye in Week 10, Andrews will have plenty of time to heal up and recover before trying to return in Week 11. For the […]

Craig Reynolds Questionable To Return Sunday

Detroit Lions running back Craig Reynolds (ribs) is officially questionable to return against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. The Lions are already struggling at the running back position with D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) on a snap count, so losing Reynolds further complicates the Lions' offensive makeup.

Calvin Ridley Will Be Ready In 2023

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley (suspension) has been staying in shape and will be ready to return once he is reinstated in 2023, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Traded from the Atlanta Falcons last week, Ridley "is working out as if he had a game Sunday." The 27-year-old hasn't played a normal season since […]

Keenan Allen Trending Up, Won't Require IR Stint

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is "close to turning the corner" and won't be placed on injured reserve, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Allen has only played parts of two games this season, and to make matters worse, the Chargers are also without Mike Williams (ankle). Once he returns, Allen can be […]

Kadarius Toney Fully Recovered For Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was considered fully healthy when he was traded from the New York Giants last week. As a result, as they come out of their bye, Toney will be active for his Chiefs debut. Toney produce 39 catches for 420 yards through 10 games as a rookie last […]

Cam Akers' Role Will Depend On Game Flow

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (personal) will return in Week 9, but his role "will be predicated on the flow of the game," according to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter. Akers missed two games but could immediately operate as the Rams' lead back after Ronnie Rivers and Darrell Henderson Jr. have underwhelmed. He should be […]

Romeo Doubs Questionable To Return In Week 9

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (ankle) was carted to the locker room and is officially listed as questionable to return against the Detroit Lions. He caught one pass for 18 yards before exiting the game. Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson will likely see more snaps in his absence, operating behind Allen Lazard.

Ryan Tannehill Likely A Game-Time Decision

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is expected to be a game-time decision in Week 9, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. The 34-year-old is listed as questionable and traveled with the team to Kansas City, but there has been some speculation that he could be held out one more week if he's not 100 percent. […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Firmly On Cowboys' Radar

Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) is "firmly" on the Dallas Cowboys' radar, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. Dallas tried to acquire a speedy receiver at the trade deadline, but after failing to do so, they have turned their focus to the top free agent on the market. Beckham is […]

Jets Optimistic James Robinson Will Play

New York Jets running back James Robinson (knee) has a chance to suit up in Week 9. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, the team is "optimistic" that its newly acquired running back will be able to play despite being added to the injury report on Saturday. Of course, he'll test his knee prior to […]

Spencer Brown Elevated For Week 9

The Carolina Panthers have elevated running back Spencer Brown from the practice squad. He's expected to be active for Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals after Chuba Hubbard (ankle) was ruled out. Brown registered his first snaps of the season last Sunday, rushing six times for 27 yards. He should continue to see touches this […]

Cardinals Hopeful James Conner Plays Sunday

The Arizona Cardinals are "hopeful" that running back James Conner (ribs) will be able to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler. He has missed the last three weeks and is still expected to be a game-time call, but it certainly looks like the 27-year-old is trending in the […]

T.J. Hockenson To Play Key Role Sunday

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson has worked hard to learn his new team's offense and is expected to play a key role during Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler. He notes that the team "plans to get [Hockenson] in there as much as it can." The 25-year-old should be […]

DeMarcus Robinson Questionable For Monday Night

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (groin) missed practice on Saturday and is officially listed as questionable for Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. Although Robinson will likely be a game-time decision, it's far from ideal that he downgraded to a non-participant to close out the week of practices. If Robinson is somehow able […]

Dolphins Defense A Great Option In Week 9

The Miami Dolphins' defense has plenty of fantasy appeal heading into Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. While Justin Fields' improved mobility has injected some life into Chicago's offense, the system still has its flaws. For starters, the second-year quarterback ranks 34th in EYds, making it evident that the Bears don't do a good job […]

Jason Sanders Worth Streaming In Week 9

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is worth streaming in Week 9. As the Dolphins' offense continues to hum along, its kicker should benefit by cleaning up stalled drives with field goals or adding extra points to touchdowns. With that said, there is still room for Sanders to struggle this week. He's going up against a […]

Mike Gesicki Likely Touchdown Dependent In Week 9

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki's Week 9 fantasy value could hinge on his ability to find the end zone. Although Gesicki is averaging 14.5 fantasy points over the last three weeks, he is largely touchdown-dependent. In fact, Gesicki has yet to amass more than 5.7 fantasy points during a game in which he does […]

Tyreek Hill Remains A Top WR1 Play In Week 9

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has looked like one of the best playmakers in the NFL this season, and he shows no signs of slowing down. The superstar is the overall WR1 in PPR, catching 69 passes for 961 yards and two touchdowns. On pace to break the single-season receiving record, Hill will line […]

Jaylen Waddle Poised For Massive Week

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle could deliver enormous production against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. In addition to his constant must-start role in fantasy football, Waddle is a top candidate to occupy your DFS lineups and bet slips in Week 9. The second-year receiver is coming off a game in which he produced 106 […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Should Be Avoided In Dolphins Debut

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. is expected to make his debut with the team against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. Traded from the San Francisco 49ers last Tuesday, Wilson has an immediate advantage since he played in a Mike McDaniel-led offense as recently as last year, and he has also had a […]

Raheem Mostert Poised For Another Solid Outing

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert remains a fringe top-24 running back in fantasy football heading into Week 9 against the Chicago Bears. On one hand, there is legitimate concern that Tua Tagovailoa will pass the ball so much that there's no opportunity for Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. to run. However, over the last […]
