Mike Macdonald "Optimistic" DK Metcalf Returns In Week 11

Per Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald is "optimistic" that wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) will return for the team's Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Metcalf has missed Seattle's prior two contests with a knee injury he picked up in the 34-14 Week 7 win over […]

CeeDee Lamb Tagged As Week-To-Week, Optimism He Can Play In Week 10

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has an AC joint sprain. Lamb has been designated as week-to-week due to his shoulder injury, but according to Schefter, there is still optimism that he can play this Sunday despite the soreness he's experiencing. With the news that Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott […]

49ers Open Christian McCaffrey's Practice Window

The NFL's Adam Schefter reports that the San Francisco 49ers have opened the 21-day practice window for star running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles). Finally, some good news. McCaffrey has yet to appear in a game this season, but, per Schefter, he is tracking to play this Sunday when the team lines up against the Tampa […]

No Timetable On Zack Moss' Return

In a report by ESPN's Ben Baby, he noted that Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss (neck) will be out indefinitely due to his neck injury. Yikes. Per Baby, the team is seeking more information on the 26-year-old's injury this week, but it's not looking good for his availability moving forward. Fellow backfield mate Chase […]

Dak Prescott Expected To Miss Multiple Weeks, IR Trip A Possibility

Per the NFL's Tom Pelissero, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott's (hamstring) injury is worse than initially expected. Prescott sustained a hamstring injury in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and an MRI revealed that the ailment would keep him out of the lineup for multiple weeks. It's a massive blow to the Cowboys, who […]

Top 10 Running Back Studs - Best Fantasy Football RB Performances Including Saquon Barkley, De'Von Achane, Alvin Kamara And More

The running back renaissance is truly upon us in 2024. While rushing touchdowns were down this week, matching the lowest number of the season thus far (23), the top-10 RBs had their best week yet. Week 9 was the first time all season that each athlete to be featured on this list all hit 21 […]

T.J. Hockenson Returns, Snags Three Grabs

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught 3-of-4 targets for 27 yards in the team's 21-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. It was the former Iowa Hawkeye's first taste of action since tearing his ACL and MCL late last season. The three receptions are slightly disappointing; still, it is excellent to see him escape the […]

Josh Oliver Scores TD In Second Straight Week

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver caught all five of his targets for 58 yards and scored in Minnesota's 21-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Oliver put together his best performance of the season in this one, as his yards, receptions, and targets were all season-high figures. Sunday marked back-to-back weeks for the sixth-year tight […]

Jordan Addison Finds End Zone In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison reeled in all five of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in his team's 21-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football. It was a strange game for Minnesota as they moved the ball at will against a hapless Colts defense. However, they saw multiple […]

Justin Jefferson Goes Over The Century Mark Yet Again

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in seven of nine targets for 137 yards in Sunday night's 21-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. It's the second straight 100-yard outing for the superstar wideout and his third straight contest with at least seven receptions. While he didn't score a touchdown, Jefferson tormented the Colts' secondary […]

Aaron Jones Totals 82 Scoreless Yards On Sunday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones rushed 21 times for 64 yards in the team's 21-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football. He added another 18 yards through the air on 4-of-4 receiving. Jones wasn't his usual efficient self in Week 9, rushing for just 3.0 yards per clip. It was an […]

Sam Darnold Improves To 6-2 As Vikes' Starter

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold completed 28-of-34 passes for 290 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in Sunday night's 21-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He added 14 yards on four carries and coughed up one fumble, too. Despite the turnovers, it was another excellent outing for Darnold, who has now thrown at least two […]

Lloyd Cushenberry III To Miss Remainder Of 2024

Tennessee Titans center Lloyd Cushenberry III (Achilles) will miss the remainder of the season after sustaining an Achilles injury in the team's 20-17 overtime win over the New England Patriots. Cushenberry, who signed a four-year $50 million deal in the off-season ($26 million guaranteed), will now begin the long road to recovery. It's an enormous […]

Erick All Jr. Potentially Done For Season

The Cincinnati Bengals fear that tight end Erick All Jr. (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's 41-24 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. All caught both of his targets for 24 yards before exiting the contest in the first half. While nothing has yet been confirmed, this would be a massive blow to the […]

Caleb Williams Expected To Be Fine

Per Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, quarterback Caleb Williams (ankle) should be OK, as the NFL's Ian Rapoport reported. Williams appeared to tweak his ankle in the waning stages of the team's 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but apparently he'll be fine. "He limped off there a little bit," said Eberflus. "He came […]

Jaylon Jones Exits Early And Does Not Return

Chicago Bears defensive back Jalen Jones (shoulder) was forced from the team's 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9 and did not return to the contest. Jones picked up a shoulder injury during the outing and was initially ruled as doubtful to return before his status was downgraded to out. He'll finish his […]

Colby Parkinson Not A Recommended Week 9 Option

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson will face the Seattle Seahawks in a road matchup this Sunday. The 25-year-old has been mostly quiet this season aside from a 13-target, seven-catch game in Week 5's 24-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He'll get a middle-of-the-road matchup in Week 9 against a Seahawks D that's […]

Alec Pierce A Boom/Bust Week 9 Play

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce will get a tough draw on Sunday Night Football when his team squares off against the Minnesota Vikings. Pierce has been the epitome of a boom/bust wideout this season, with three outings of at least 16 fantasy points and five others in the single digits, including a goose egg […]

Mike Gesicki An Intriguing Stream Vs. Raiders

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki could again see a large target share in Week 9 when his team lines up against the Las Vegas Raiders at home. The 29-year-old veteran hasn't been the most consistent option this season but has produced two useful spike weeks thus far in his first year as a Bengal, […]

Christian Kirk Trade In The Works Before Injury

According to Adam Schefter, before Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk's (collarbone) injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a deal in the works to acquire him. Per Schefter, league sources told ESPN there was a "reasonable chance" that Kirk would be heading to the Steel City. However, that plan was derailed when the 27-year-old suffered a […]

Puka Nacua Traveling To Seattle

As reported by the NFL's Dianna Russini, the Los Angeles Rams expect wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) to play in Week 9. It's excellent news for the Rams and fantasy managers, as it appears Nacua's reaggravation of his preseason knee injury won't force him to miss Sunday's contest. The superstar wideout returned from a near-two […]

Optimism Around Tony Pollard's Week 9 Status

Per Easton Freeze of the NFL, the Tennessee Titans are optimistic that running back Tony Pollard (foot) will play Sunday in Week 9. Pollard was a non-participant this week in Titans' practice and is officially listed as questionable for this weekend's home tilt against the New England Patriots. However, it appears the team is still […]

Viking D/ST A Strong Play Vs. Indy

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is again a top option this Sunday when they host the visiting Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. The Vikings' defense has given up a good amount of yards through the air this season but leads the league with 12 interceptions in just seven games played. Additionally, they've been one of […]

Will Reichard A Top-Five Week 9 Option

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard will again be a strong play this Sunday when his team lines up against the Indianapolis Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium. The rookie has been one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL thus far in 2024 and has an excellent chance to put together another solid outing against […]

Ty Chandler Not A Viable Week 9 Play

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler will square off against the Indianapolis Colts at home this Sunday in one of the better on-paper matchups of Week 9. While Minnesota projects to have its way with a non-existent Colts defense, Chandler still won't be a recommended option in the juicy matchup. The 26-year-old back is a […]

Jordan Addison A Fringe WR3 In Excellent Matchup

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison gets a tantalizing Week 9 matchup when his team hosts the visiting Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. The second-year wideout has been mildly disappointing in 2024 after a breakout rookie season, but he has a chance to right the ship against a soft Colts defense at U.S. Bank Stadium. Indianapolis […]

Justin Jefferson A Top-Flight Option Vs. Indy

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson should challenge for the overall WR1 on the week this Sunday when his team hosts the Indianapolis Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium. The 25-year-old has been one of the most consistent wideouts in 2024, sans an outing with fewer than 15 fantasy points. The superstar WR has just one […]

Aaron Jones, Smash Week 9 Matchup

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones should be in store for a massive performance this weekend when his team squares off against the Indianapolis Colts at home in Week 9. Despite Jones scoring only three touchdowns on the year, he's the RB15 in PPR formats with just one outing under 9.8 fantasy points. This Sunday, […]

Sam Darnold Gets Porous Colts D Sunday

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold will line up against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday in one of the juiciest matchups on paper this weekend. The 27-year-old has been excellent in his first season in a Vikings uniform and has the chance for another strong performance in Week 9. Indianapolis has allowed the eighth-most passing yards […]

Micah Parsons, DaRon Bland Ruled Out Vs. Falcons

Dallas Cowboys edge-rusher Micah Parsons (ankle) and defensive back DaRon Bland (foot) have both been ruled out for the team's Week 9 road tilt against the Atlanta Falcons. It's no surprise, as both athletes logged three DNPs ahead of Sunday's outing. Parsons hasn't appeared in a game since sustaining an ankle injury ahead of the […]
