17 hours agoNew York Giants rookie running back
Tyrone Tracy Jr. (concussion) continues to progress well and barring a setback, is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders according to Pat Leonard of NYDN Sports. This is a great sign for the rookie running back who suffered a concussion during last Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, it looks like the Purdue product should be able to progress through the league's protocol and not miss any time. Since Week 5, Tracy has emerged as the top option out of the New York backfield and has averaged an impressive 86.8 rushing yards per game in this span. If he can suit up, the 24-year-old should be viewed as a solid RB2 facing the Commanders who have allowed the 19th-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season.

17 hours agoCincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Tee Higgins (quadriceps) remained sidelined during Friday's practice according to Ben Baby of ESPN. Higgins has been unable to take the practice field all week and is now in danger of missing his second straight game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor him throughout the weekend as the Clemson product will likely carry an injury designation. If Higgins misses this weekend's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, fantasy managers should expect
Ja'Marr Chase to see a heavy dose of work with
Andrei Iosivas and
Trenton Irwin serving as the No.2 and No.3 options.

19 hours agoNew York Jets defensive lineman Will McDonald (leg) left the game on Thursday but eventually returned after a non-contact injury to his leg. He was helped off of the field in the second quarter but later returned in the second half. Ian Rapoport has reported that McDonald seemed to have avoided a major injury but is worth monitoring in case the team finds any issues leading up to their Week 10 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

19 hours agoNew York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (foot) seemingly injured his foot on Thursday night during the fourth quarter of their contest against the Houston Texans. The star defensive back was able to come back into the game, but Ian Rapoport says that his status is worth monitoring especially if the team decides to do some tests on Friday. There hasn't been any official word of an injury that will cause him to miss some time just yet.

19 hours agoDallas Cowboys kicker
Brandon Aubrey is currently the K4 on the season. He has only missed two field goals, made all of his extra points, and has the longest kick of the season at 65 yards. He's also made the second-most 50+ yarders behind
Ka'imi Fairbairn. In Week 9, he'll go up against the Atlanta Falcons who have given up the most fantasy points to kickers this season. On average, opposing kickers are scoring 12.3 fantasy points per game against the Falcons, and with the Cowboys' offense not able to score as many touchdowns as expected, he should be quite busy this week.

19 hours agoDallas Cowboys tight end
Jake Ferguson hasn't been able to produce a big outing over the last couple of weeks. Week 8 was the first time he received a target share of more than 20% and failed to finish in TE1 territory. He even had the highest snap percentage of the season in that game, but went up against a solid defensive unit in the San Francisco 49ers. Now, they'll take on the Atlanta Falcons who have given up their fair share of fantasy points to tight ends (10.8 per game for half-PPR). Fantasy managers can look to Ferguson to bounce back in this one.

20 hours agoHouston Texans kicker
Ka'imi Fairbairn had a rough outing on Thursday night along with the rest of the team in the 21-13 loss to the New York Jets. The 30-year-old made a 29 and 54-yarder as well as an extra point but missed a 27 and 56-yarder. This was the first game all season that Fairbairn missed more than one field goal which brings his overall percentage down to 84.0%. He'll look to bounce back in a Sunday night game against the Detroit Lions in Week 10.

20 hours agoHouston Texans wide receiver
Robert Woods was expected to be a bigger part of the offense in the Thursday night game against the New York Jets. During the 21-13 loss, he saw three targets and caught two of them for 44 yards. The Jets' defense shut down the passing game as they only put up 135 yards through the air compared to 187 on the ground.
C.J. Stroud was also sacked eight times, so Woods didn't have much of a chance to get open. The Texans will get some extra rest heading into their Week 10 matchup against another good defense in the Detroit Lions.

20 hours agoHouston Texans edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) was forced to leave their Thursday night game against the New York Jets after suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter. The reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year seemed to have his ankle rolled on as he tried to tackle the ball carrier and looked to be in a lot of pain. After getting his ankle taped, he tried returning to the game but was ultimately ruled out in the second quarter. Ian Rapoport says that his injury is worth monitoring going into next week, but Anderson will benefit from extra days of rest since they don't play until Sunday night of next week.

1 day agoThe New York Jets defense played well in a 21-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game. New York sacked
C.J. Stroud eight times while forcing one turnover, a Stroud fumble, in the close win. The Jets defense made things tough for Stroud and the Houston offense all night, allowing just 322 yards of total offense. They were led by Jamien Sherwood and Micheal Clemons, who notched two sacks apiece. The Jets will look to stay hot against the Arizona Cardinals on the road in Week 10.

1 day agoNew York Jets kicker
Riley Patterson did not attempt any field goals but hit all three of his extra points in a 21-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game. Making his debut for the Jets after they placed
Greg Zuerlein (knee) on injured reserve earlier in the week, Patterson was perfect in the close win over the Texans. The veteran will presumably remain the Jets' kicker heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

1 day agoNew York Jets tight end
Tyler Conklin lost three yards on his lone catch in a 21-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game. Conklin drew just two targets in the game as
Aaron Rodgers directed 21 of his 32 pass attempts toward either
Garrett Wilson or
Davante Adams. That didn't leave much else for the rest of the Jets pass catchers, including Conklin who was outproduced by fellow tight ends
Kenny Yeboah (one catch for 12 yards) and
Jeremy Ruckert (one catch for four yards). Conklin will look to regroup heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

1 day agoNew York Jets wide receiver
Davante Adams (concussion) caught seven of his 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in a 21-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game. Adams and
Aaron Rodgers connected for their first touchdown since they played for the Green Bay Packers together back in 2022 on a 37-yard strike in the fourth quarter. The big outing from Adams easily goes in the books as his best effort since the Jets acquired him from the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of Week 7. Adams survived an injury scare during the second half as he was evaluated for a concussion. He ultimately passed the league's testing and was able to return to the field for the remainder of the game. Adams will be a solid WR2 in fantasy heading into Week 10's road game against the Arizona Cardinals.

1 day agoNew York Jets wide receiver
Garrett Wilson turned in a huge game in his team's 21-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game. Wilson caught nine of his 10 targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns to help down the Texans in the close game. The veteran receiver's second touchdown was impressive as he made a leaping, one-handed grab in close coverage in the back of the end zone and just barely got both feet down in bounds for a 26-yard score. Wilson is hitting his stride after a quiet start to the season and has 60 catches for 663 yards and five touchdowns through nine games. He will be a low-end WR1 heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

1 day agoNew York Jets running back
Braelon Allen carried the ball four times for nine yards and failed to catch his lone target in a 21-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game. Allen showed some life last week, turning 12 carries into 32 yards and a touchdown but he was right back to just a handful of carries behind
Breece Hall in Thursday night's win. Allen has seen eight or fewer carries in five of his past six contests as the Jets have committed to getting the ball in Hall's hands of late. Allen remains a solid fantasy handcuff behind Hall but should not be in starting lineups in Week 10 when the Jets face off against the Arizona Cardinals on the road.
