Jalen Tolbert A Low-End FLEX Play Against Atlanta

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has seen his production decline during the team's two-game losing streak (averaging 3.5 catches, 43.5 yards, zero touchdowns), but he has a solid opportunity to bounce back against a below-average Atlanta Falcons passing defense in Week 9.

Dak Prescott Enters Week 9 With Major Turnover Concerns

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (personal) has been sidelined with a non-football-related issue for over a month, but head coach Antonio Pierce said that the 23-year-old is "getting close" to making his return.

Tyler Boyd Doesn't Practice On Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. The 29-year-old's status suddenly appears to be in doubt ahead of Week 9 versus the New England Patriots.
