Chicago Bears fullback Khari Blasingame (head) exited during the first half of Week 9 versus the New Orleans Saints. He is being evaluated for a concussion.

Tyquan Thornton Active For Week 9
New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (foot) is officially active for Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. He had been listed as questionable. The second-year receiver could be in line for an expanded role after Mac Jones lost his top target, Kendrick Bourne (knee), to an ACL tear. Thornton isn't involved enough to justify […]

Richie James Won't Return In Week 9
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Richie James (knee) remains on IR and was not activated for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. He had been listed as questionable but will not play.

Robbie Chosen Won't Play In Week 9
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Robbie Chosen (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Germany. Chosen continues to be the odd man out when the Dolphins decide which receivers will play. The 30-year-old is off the fantasy radar in all leagues. In the meantime, Chase Claypool, Cedrick Wilson […]

Durham Smythe, Braxton Berrios Suiting Up Versus Chiefs
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) and wide receiver Braxton Berrios (hamstring) are active for Week 9 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. They had both been listed as questionable heading into the weekend. Given that Miami's offense runs through Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Raheem Mostert, having Smythe and Berrios healthy won't necessarily be […]

Terron Armstead, Xavien Howard Active For Week 9
Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) and cornerback Xavien Howard (groin) are active for Week 9 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Both players had been listed as questionable.

Patriots' Defense Has Streaming Appeal Against Washington
The New England Patriots' defense is a fringe streaming option in Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. While the Washington offense has shown signs of life at times, including last Sunday when it dropped 31 points on the Eagles, there's no denying that Sam Howell is susceptible to turnovers and an awful lot of sacks.

Chad Ryland Off Fantasy Radar Despite Favorable Matchup
New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland should be avoided in fantasy football ahead of Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. While Washington's suspect defense has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, Ryland has been a bottom-of-the-barrel option at the position this year. The rookie is just 9-for-13 on field goals and […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Trending Up For Week 9
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson should be a solid fantasy football option for Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. For starters, Washington traded away defensive ends Chase Young and Montez Sweat this week, leading to far less pressure around the line of scrimmage. Washington was already a middle-of-the-pack team in terms of defending […]

Hunter Henry Quickly Becoming Non-Factor
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has suddenly fallen off the fantasy football map and is not a reliable option ahead of Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. Consistently playing between 80 and 90 percent of snaps during his first five games this year, the 28-year-old hasn't seen a snap share above 62 percent […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Headed For Larger Role In Week 9
New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster could see increased opportunities in Week 9 with Kendrick Bourne (knee) done for the season and DeVante Parker (concussion) trending towards being ruled out.

Mac Jones A Low-End Streaming Option in Week 9
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is a borderline streamer in single-QB leagues ahead of Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. Not only does he face a greater challenge after losing Kendrick Bourne (ACL) for the season, but he also takes on a statistically solid defense this week. While the Commanders might not be as […]

The rookie led the team in targets and catches, though his yardage ranked fourth on the squad. Douglas' big game coincided with a mid-game injury to Kendrick Bourne (knee) that could be […]
