Kalif Raymond A Decent Flex Play In Week 9

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond has been a strong deep league flex option after posting 151 receiving yards over the last two weeks. The Detroit Lions offense will continue to have to pass to stay competitive since they're often in shootouts, so as long as Jameson Williams (knee) and D.J. Chark (ankle) remain out, […]

Brock Wright Expected To Be Lead Tight End

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright is expected to slot in as the primary receiving tight end after T.J. Hockenson was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. Wright comes into Week 9 with six receptions for 88 yards. Wright missed practice early in the week in the concussion protocol but is trending toward to be able […]

Jonathan Taylor Ruled Out For Week 9

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the Week 9 game against the New England Patriots. He's being called week-to-week and since the Colts look to be building for the future and perhaps boosting its draft position, they likely won't play Taylor unless he's close to 100-percent moving forward. […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Remains A Must-Start

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is set to explode after T.J. Hockenson was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. In four of five career games without Hockenson, St. Brown has racked up at least 90 yards and one receiving touchdown. St. Brown was already the target leader in Detroit, but his target figures moving […]

Randy Bullock Not On Fantasy Radar

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has been far from a high-end fantasy kicker through eight weeks of the season, so he's not a strong option in Tennessee's matchup with Kansas City. With Ryan Tannehill (ankle) banged up, it's likely going to be a lackluster offensive output for the Titans, so Bullock's upside isn't high enough to […]

Titans Defense Far From The Fantasy Radar

The Tennessee Titans defense has impressed in two matchups against the Indianapolis Colts and against the Washington Commanders and Houston Texans. However, the Kansas City Chiefs offense is far more dangerous than any of Tennessee's recent opponents and any fantasy defense/special teams should not be played against it. The Titans possess one of the worst […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For Week 9 (Friday Updates): Michael Thomas, Rashod Bateman, Chuba Hubbard, James Conner

There are six teams on a bye, so the pool of players on the fantasy radar hasn't been larger this season. When you add in injuries, there are a ton of key start-or-sit decisions at the halfway point of the NFL season. Our injury updates and reports for Week 9 as of Friday, November 4th, […]

Is Adam Thielen Healthy or Injured? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Adam Thielen picked up an injury in the win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, so his status will need to be closely monitored as a matchup with the Washington Commanders awaits. Thielen isn't a fantasy superstar at this point in his career, but he's been a solid WR3 or flex play, so he's […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports for QBs: Ryan Tannehill, Matt Ryan

We don't have super impactful quarterback injuries to monitor in Week 9, but with six teams on a bye, fantasy managers in two-QB or superflex leagues will surely have to keep up to date. Our fantasy football injury reports for quarterbacks as of Wednesday, November 2nd will give you the latest scoop on banged-up signal-callers […]

Should I Start Chase Claypool in Week 9? Fantasy Football Trade Outlook

The Pittsburgh Steelers were rumored to be shopping wide receiver Chase Claypool ahead of the NFL's November 1st trade deadline, and the team finally struck a deal with the Chicago Bears on Tuesday. Justin Fields gets a new weapon in an offense that desperately needed one and the Steelers gained a valuable draft pick and […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For TEs: Mark Andrews, Irv Smith Jr.

With the Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, New York Giants Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and San Francisco 49ers on a bye, there are several fantasy-relevant tight ends unavailable for Week 9 matchups. Add in injuries to Mark Andrews and Irv Smith Jr. and the position becomes very tough to navigate this week. Our fantasy football […]

Should I Start Nyheim Hines in Week 9? Fantasy Football Trade Outlook

The Buffalo Bills traded for former Colts' running back Nyheim Hines just before the NFL's trade deadline on Tuesday, November 1st a 4 pm. Buffalo was reportedly making calls about Kareem Hunt and Alvin Kamara, but eventually found their pass-catching specialist in Hines. Hines is undoubtedly a solid weapon that'll help an already explosive offensive […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 9

We're onto Week 9 of the NFL season and after a week's worth of surprising studs and duds and a chaotic trade deadline, it's time to see which players are risers and which guys are falling in fantasy football value.  We now have a lot of good information we can use to help make decisions […]

Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9: Kadarius Toney, Jaylen Warren, Travis Homer, Marcus Mariota, Terrace Marshall

The NFL season keeps chugging along, and as fantasy managers, there's never a time to stop looking for deep league gems and potential late-season lotto-ticket stashes. These fantasy football waiver wire pickup suggestions are for fantasy managers in deep leagues of 14-teams or more or a higher number of bench spots than traditional fantasy leagues. […]

Is Cooper Kupp Healthy or Injured? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has taken the NFL and fantasy football by storm since uniting with Matthew Stafford at the start of the 2021 season, so his name popping up on the injury report is obviously a significant development that could have a major fantasy impact. After suffering an ankle injury in […]

Should I Pickup Kenyan Drake For Week 9 Fantasy Football? Waiver Wire Outlook

Running back Kenyan Drake has had plenty of fantasy football intrigue during his career with the Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, and Las Vegas Raiders, and he's back on the fantasy radar after a stellar Week 8 performance against the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football as a member of the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore has opted to […]

Top Fantasy Football Injuries From Sunday: Cooper Kupp, Jonathan Taylor, Adam Thielen, DaVante Parker, Christian Watson

There weren't any majorly serious injuries to fantasy football stars on Sunday, but with six teams heading into a bye week, there will be more overall players on the fantasy radar for Week 9. That said, even some players on the fringe of being rosterable are worth monitoring. Our fantasy football injuries report highlights the […]

Foster Moreau Draws Nine Targets In Loss

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Foster Moreau led all Raiders pass-catchers with nine targets Sunday, catching six of them for 31 yards in the loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was a fine fill-in in PPR leagues, but his fantasy relevance could be coming to an end as Darren Waller (hamstring) is set to […]

Mack Hollins Leads Raiders In Receiving

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Mack Hollins caught seven of his eight targets for 64 yards in the 24-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints. With Davante Adams getting completely shut down, Hollins was able to put on a solid PPR fantasy performance. Hollins has now produced often enough to be worth rostering in leagues […]

Chase Young Set To Return From PUP List

Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (knee) has been designated to return from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list on Wednesday, so the team will have 21 days from that date to move him to the active roster. This could be a huge boost for a team that finds itself at 4-4 through eight […]

Cooper Kupp Day-To-Day With Ankle Injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is being labeled day-to-day after he suffered a minor ankle injury in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Kupp sprained his ankle late in the game but turned in an eight-catch, 79 yards, and one touchdown performance. Kupp fantasy managers should stay up to date with his […]

Jonathan Taylor Twists Ankle Sunday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor suffered a twisted ankle in the narrow loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 8. Taylor briefly exited the game before returning but turned in just 76 rushing yards on 16 carries and zero receptions on one target. The Colts are going to see how his ankle responds to […]

PJ Walker To Start Against Bengals

Carolina Panthers quarterback PJ Walker will get his fourth straight start of the season after throwing for 317 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Walker gets the start over Baker Mayfield, who is now healthy enough to play. The Panthers face off against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9, who […]

Titans Defense Posts Three Sacks, One Interception

The Tennessee Titans defense/special teams unit was a solid play in Week 8 against a lackluster Texans offense, as it forced one turnover and sacked quarterback Davis Mills three times. Tennessee nearly held Houston to no touchdowns, but Dameon Pierce added a late score when the game was essentially out of reach. With a matchup […]

Randy Bullock Makes One Of Two Field-Goal Attempts

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock made just one of his two field goal attempts in the win over the Houston Texans. He made both of his extra point attempts set up by Derrick Henry touchdowns, but he ultimately was not a strong fantasy play in Week 8. The Titans' offense isn't explosive and head coach […]

Austin Hooper Catches One Pass In Win

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper caught just one pass for five yards in the 17-10 win over the Houston Texans. Rookie Malik Willis attempted just 10 passes, so no Titans' pass-catcher was fantasy-viable in Week 8. Hooper could have a better chance to produce against Kansas City next week in a top-10 matchup for […]

Robert Woods Catches Two Passes

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods saw 20 percent of rookie quarterback Malik Willis' targets, but that didn't amount to much when the team attempted just 10 passes. It was clear Tennessee was going to rely on running backs Derrick Henry and Dontrell Hilliard to win this game with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) out, and that's […]

Dontrell Hilliard Totals 95 Yards In Win

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard totaled 95 yards on nine touches, making him a decent deep league flex play for fantasy managers in a tough spot. Hilliard has been explosive and shown he can produce when given the chance, so he should be rostered in deep leagues, at least as Derrick Henry's handcuff. If […]

Derrick Henry Dominates Texans Again

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 32 times for 219 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Houston Texans. He also added one reception for nine yards. This marked the fourth time in a row Henry has rushed for at least 200 yards and two touchdowns against Houston. Henry has held up […]

Malik Willis Posts Just 55 Passing Yards

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis attempted just 10 passes in the win over the Houston Texans, completing six of them for 55 yards and one interception. It's no surprise the Titans simply leaned on Derrick Henry, who posted 200-plus rushing yards and two-plus touchdowns for the fourth time in his last four games against the […]
