3 days agoNew York Jets wide receiver
Davante Adams has yet to post a big game since his new team traded for him two weeks ago, catching seven passes for 84 yards in two games. He will look to make a bigger impact on his team's offense heading into Week 9's Thursday night game against the Houston Texans. Houston represents a plus matchup for Adams as they are allowing the eight-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Treat Adams as a low-end WR2 heading into Week 9.

3 days agoNew York Jets wide receiver
Garrett Wilson has notched three 100-yard receiving games over his past four contests. He will look to keep it going against the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game. Wilson has yet to feel a target squeeze with
Davante Adams in town as he has 17 in the two games since the Jets added the latter in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Texans have been vulnerable against receivers this season as they are allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to the position in 2024. Wilson sets up as a high-end WR2 heading into Week 9.

3 days agoNew York Jets running back
Breece Hall ran for 80 scoreless yards on 18 carries in a Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots. He will look for more in Week 9's Thursday night game against the Houston Texans. Houston has been tough on opposing running backs this season as they are allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Despite the tough matchup, Hall remains busy enough in the passing game to make him mostly matchup-proof from a fantasy perspective, so he can still be treated as a mid-range RB1 heading into Week 9.

3 days agoAccording to Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area, Golden State Warriors forward
Andrew Wiggins (back) is unavailable for Wednesday's contest with the New Orleans Pelicans. Wiggins is dealing with a lower back strain that will keep him out of the lineup for the second consecutive contest. With the 29-year-old missing in action,
Moses Moody,
Brandin Podziemski, and
Jonathan Kuminga will take on extra minutes for the second straight game.

3 days agoNew York Jets quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (hamstring, knee) has thrown for two touchdowns in three of his past four games. He will look for his first three-touchdown game of the season in Week 9's Thursday night game against the Houston Texans. Rodgers has been dealing with an assortment of injuries of late, including to his hamstring and knee but he practiced fully on Tuesday and Wednesday and is good to go for Thursday. The Texans are allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game but Rodgers has yet to post a ceiling game in a disappointing Jets offense this season. Treat him as a low-end QB2 for Week 9.

3 days agoOn Wednesday, Cleveland Browns running back
Jerome Ford (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity. It's the second straight limited practice for the 25-year-old, dating back to last week after he was tagged with a DNP in five consecutive sessions. Ford hasn't appeared in a game since the team's 20-16 loss to the Eagles, when he participated on just four snaps before sustaining a hamstring injury. However, it appears he's turned a corner in his recovery. The former fifth-round pick will have two more chances to up his practice level before Cleveland hosts the Los Angeles Chargers in their third-straight home matchup. Even if he suits up, the third-year running back is nothing more than a handcuff with
Nick Chubb back in the fold. If Ford is out again, running backs
D'Onta Foreman and
Pierre Strong Jr. will continue to work as a change-of-pace option behind Chubb.

3 days agoSeattle Seahawks tight end
Noah Fant (groin) was officially listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report. The groin injury is new for the sixth-year tight end, as he presumably sustained it sometime between Sunday and today (Wednesday), though exactly when it occurred is unclear. Fant played his typical snap percentage in the team's 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. That he could practice in a limited capacity is good news for his chances of suiting up on Sunday when Seattle hosts the visiting Los Angeles Rams. The 26-year-old's injury doesn't seem serious; still, it's worth mentioning that fellow TEs
AJ Barner and
Pharaoh Brown have picked up more snaps in recent weeks. If he can't go, the aforementioned duo figures to split work, with a slight advantage to Barner. If Fant can play, he still won't be a recommended fantasy option.

3 days agoNew England Patriots wide receiver
Ja'Lynn Polk (concussion) was listed as limited for Wednesday's practice. The rookie wideout was unavailable for this past Sunday's win over the New York Jets after picking up a concussion the week prior, but he's started on the right foot this week. He'll have a few more days to ramp up his activity ahead of Week 9's road tilt against the Tennessee Titans. However, Polk will still need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he's eligible to suit up. Despite it not showing up in the 22-year-old's on-field production, he's the second-leading receiver on the roster regarding snap share, behind only
DeMario Douglas. Still, it is worth noting that second-year WR
Kayshon Boutte has led all Pats pass-catchers in that regard over the last three weeks.
--Alex CiullaSource: Doug Kyed
3 days agoAccording to Tony Jones of The Athletic, Utah Jazz power forward
Lauri Markkanen is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. On Tuesday versus Sacramento, Markkanen left the game with back spasms. Despite the setback, he's averaged 18.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in the season's first four games. Fantasy managers, if the 27-year-old cannot suit up, forwards
John Collins and
Kyle Filipowski will likely see more minutes on the court than usual.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: Tony Jones
3 days agoDamichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports that Memphis Grizzlies guard
John Konchar (foot) will suit up against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Konchar has missed two consecutive contests due to right foot soreness. The Grizzlies are in the front half of a back-to-back set, so his workload will likely be limited.
Ja Morant (thigh) was also cleared to play and will join Konchar in the team's backcourt.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: Damichael Cole
3 days agoMemphis Grizzlies guard
Ja Morant (thigh) is available to suit up against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, per Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal. He was listed as questionable earlier today and will return from a one-game absence due to right thigh soreness. The 25-year-old has posted two double-doubles through his first three games, averaging 20.7 points, 7.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 25.7 minutes per contest.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: Damichael Cole
3 days agoAccording to Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Memphis Grizzlies center
Zach Edey (calf) will suit up Wednesday versus the Brooklyn Nets and will likely start despite a sore right calf. Edey's rookie season could be off to a better start, as he's averaging only 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.3 blocks in 16 minutes during his first four regular season outings. The big man's minutes should be limited, and he will not impact DFS play much tonight.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: Damichael Cole
3 days agoMiami Heat guard
Josh Richardson (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Richardson has yet to play this season as he continues to deal with multiple injuries. The Heat are calling him day-to-day, but it remains to be seen when Richardson will get on the court again. In the meantime,
Jaime Jaquez Jr. and
Duncan Robinson should see more minutes in the rotation. Richardson is not worth a look in fantasy formats when healthy.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoNew York Knicks guard
Josh Hart (shin) is officially available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Hart was a game-time decision heading into this contest, but it appears he was able to get through his pregame routine without any issues. He figures to resume his spot in the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game. Hart is averaging 16 points, nine rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 33 minutes in three games this season. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Hart in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Stefan Bondy
3 days agoNew England Patriots running back
Antonio Gibson (toe) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Gibson has played in every game thus far this season so his limited participation may be precautionary. Gibson has been primarily irrelevant in fantasy football in 2024. He has yet to clear 48% of the snaps and has played 17% and 19% of the snaps over the last two weeks respectively. The Patriots have clearly turned back to
Rhamondre Stevenson as a true feature back. Given how bad the offense is, Gibson is not even worth a roster spot in fantasy. As such, this news is relatively inconsequential to the status of any relevant Patriots players for fantasy in Week 9.
--Quincy Milton III - RotoBallerSource: Doug Kyed
3 days agoLas Vegas Raiders running back
Alexander Mattison will remain the starter over
Zamir White (quadriceps). Mattison has taken on a large role in the offense over the last four weeks. Head coach Antonio Pierce would like him to remain in that role for the time being. Mattison has been a solid flex play in fantasy. He has even climbed into the RB2 ranks at times. Since Week 5, Mattison has scored between 9.4 and 17.5 fantasy points every week. He has been inefficient as a runner, but he has received at least three targets in each of those games. The Raiders are flailing this season amidst a 2-6 record so Mattison is never going to be a high-end producer. However, for now, you can continue to deploy him with the confidence that he will have a solid floor in fantasy.
--Quincy Milton III - RotoBallerSource: Tashan Reed
3 days agoAtlanta Hawks forward
De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. This is looking more like a rest game as the team is calling it right knee injury management. Hunter missed time last season due to knee issues and it appears to have lingered over into this season. The absence of Hunter should mean more minutes for
Zaccharie Risacher, but he's not a great streaming option right now.

3 days agoIndiana Pacers center
Isaiah Jackson will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Pacers will be without
Myles Turner (ankle), so Jackson getting the starting nod shouldn't be surprising. He could see significant run with backup center
James Wiseman (Achilles) out for the year, so the Pacers are limited in terms of big men.
Obi Toppin should get some minutes at the center spot, but Jackson is the much better streaming option between the two. Fantasy managers should consider Jackson a possible streaming choice until Jackson returns.

Jonathan Isaac (hip) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Isaac is back in the mix after missing the last three games due to a left hip contusion. He has a limited fantasy value with him being behind
Paolo Banchero in the rotation. It's possible that Isaac only sees minutes in the teens as the primary backup power forward. He doesn't appear to be offering enough upside right now to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

3 days agoLos Angeles Lakers forward
LeBron James (illness) will play on Wednesday versus the undefeated Cavs. The multi-time All-Star is under the weather. However, it won't be enough to keep him off the floor against Cleveland. James has played well despite his two decades of services in the National Basketball Association, averaging 20.0 points, 7.5 assists, 7.0 rebounds, and 39.1% shooting from deep. Keep him starting in all fantasy formats.

3 days agoLos Angeles Lakers guard
D'Angelo Russell (back) will play in Wednesday's game versus the Cavs. He was listed as questionable heading into this contest. However, fantasy managers can safely add him back to the starting lineup. Unfortunately, Russell has struggled this season, averaging 11.0 points, 5.8 assists, and 28.0% shooting from deep. Still, the 28-year-old should break out of his slump soon. With Russell back in the mix,
Gabe Vincent and
Max Christie will see less work.

Jaylin Williams (hamstring) appears to have suffered a setback during a workout. As a result, Williams will be shut down and re-evaluated in four to six weeks. Williams has yet to play in a game this season, so fantasy managers will have to wait a little longer. Osumane Dieng has been filling in at center, but doesn't offer great fantasy value right now.
Chet Holmgren is gaining the most value from this at the moment.

Myles Turner (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as questionable heading into this one. However, the sprained ankle will keep him off the floor versus the defending champs. Without Turner in the equation,

Davion Mitchell,
Jamal Shead, and
