Jimmie Ward, M.J. Stewart Questionable To Return Sunday

Houston Texans safeties Jimmie Ward (hamstring) and M.J. Stewart (shoulder) exited during the first half of Week 9 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both players are questionable to return. The two defensive playmakers had combined for four tackles prior to their departures. Look for DeAndre Houston-Carson, who was signed to the active roster this past […]

Zaire Franklin Officially Inactive Sunday

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin (knee) is officially inactive for Week 9 versus the Carolina Panthers. This was widely expected after the team downgraded him to "doubtful" on Saturday. He has been a playmaker on defense this year, amassing 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and a whopping 102 tackles. In his absence, E.J. Speed should […]

Josh Downs Officially Active For Week 9

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (knee) is officially active for Week 9 versus the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but was widely expected to play. He will indeed suit up, ranking as a solid fantasy WR3 after totaling 23 catches for 315 yards and two touchdowns over the last four weeks. […]

Cordarrelle Patterson, Mack Hollins Questionable To Return

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) and wide receiver Mack Hollins (ankle) exited during the first half of Week 9 versus the Minnesota Vikings. Both players are listed as questionable to return. Patterson delivered a three-yard catch prior to his departure while Hollins hauled in three passes for 36 yards. Prior to his injury, […]

K.J. Osborn Carted Off Field, Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn (concussion) was carted off the field after suffering a serious injury during the first half of Week 9 versus the Atlanta Falcons. Osborn was on the receiving end of multiple concurrent hits from Atlanta defenders and was briefly motionless on the ground. Players from both teams were quite emotional […]

Khari Blasingame Evaluated For Concussion Sunday

Chicago Bears fullback Khari Blasingame (head) exited during the first half of Week 9 versus the New Orleans Saints. He is being evaluated for a concussion. The 27-year-old didn't touch the ball before departing but had offered steady protection for quarterback Tyson Bagent. Chicago doesn't have any other fullbacks on the roster, so look for […]

Tyquan Thornton Active For Week 9

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (foot) is officially active for Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. He had been listed as questionable. The second-year receiver could be in line for an expanded role after Mac Jones lost his top target, Kendrick Bourne (knee), to an ACL tear. Thornton isn't involved enough to justify […]

Richie James Won't Return In Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Richie James (knee) remains on IR and was not activated for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. He had been listed as questionable but will not play. The 28-year-old hasn't been healthy since Week 2, and now he'll have to wait at least one more week before he can make […]

Robbie Chosen Won't Play In Week 9

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Robbie Chosen (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Germany. Chosen continues to be the odd man out when the Dolphins decide which receivers will play. The 30-year-old is off the fantasy radar in all leagues. In the meantime, Chase Claypool, Cedrick Wilson […]

Durham Smythe, Braxton Berrios Suiting Up Versus Chiefs

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) and wide receiver Braxton Berrios (hamstring) are active for Week 9 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. They had both been listed as questionable heading into the weekend. Given that Miami's offense runs through Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Raheem Mostert, having Smythe and Berrios healthy won't necessarily be […]

Terron Armstead, Xavien Howard Active For Week 9

Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) and cornerback Xavien Howard (groin) are active for Week 9 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Both players had been listed as questionable. Having Armstead healthy will be huge for the Dolphins as they look to protect Tua Tagovailoa versus a strong Kansas City defense. Meanwhile, the return of […]

Puka Nacua Expected To Play In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) is expected to play versus the Green Bay Packers on Sunday despite being listed as questionable, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Nacua has been the biggest surprise this season, catching 61 passes for 795 yards and two touchdowns en route to being the fantasy WR4 overall through […]

Patriots' Defense Has Streaming Appeal Against Washington

The New England Patriots' defense is a fringe streaming option in Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. While the Washington offense has shown signs of life at times, including last Sunday when it dropped 31 points on the Eagles, there's no denying that Sam Howell is susceptible to turnovers and an awful lot of sacks. […]

Chad Ryland Off Fantasy Radar Despite Favorable Matchup

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland should be avoided in fantasy football ahead of Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. While Washington's suspect defense has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, Ryland has been a bottom-of-the-barrel option at the position this year. The rookie is just 9-for-13 on field goals and […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Trending Up For Week 9

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson should be a solid fantasy football option for Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. For starters, Washington traded away defensive ends Chase Young and Montez Sweat this week, leading to far less pressure around the line of scrimmage. Washington was already a middle-of-the-pack team in terms of defending […]

Hunter Henry Quickly Becoming Non-Factor

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has suddenly fallen off the fantasy football map and is not a reliable option ahead of Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. Consistently playing between 80 and 90 percent of snaps during his first five games this year, the 28-year-old hasn't seen a snap share above 62 percent […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Headed For Larger Role In Week 9

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster could see increased opportunities in Week 9 with Kendrick Bourne (knee) done for the season and DeVante Parker (concussion) trending towards being ruled out. Speculation out of New England suggests that rookie Demario Douglas and Tyquan Thornton could see their roles increase the most, but it's worth noting […]

Mac Jones A Low-End Streaming Option in Week 9

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is a borderline streamer in single-QB leagues ahead of Week 9 versus the Washington Commanders. Not only does he face a greater challenge after losing Kendrick Bourne (ACL) for the season, but he also takes on a statistically solid defense this week. While the Commanders might not be as […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For NFL RBs: Week 9 Updates for Derrick Henry, David Montgomery, Tyjae Spears

Biggest Fantasy Football Busts of the Week - Fantasy Outlooks for Patrick Mahomes, Tony Pollard, Kenneth Walker, Cooper Kupp, more

The eighth Sunday of the 2023 NFL season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your matchup went. However, this week's slate of games was certainly stress-inducing for many fantasy football managers. Part of that stress was caused by a group of players who drastically underachieved […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Relatively Quiet In Week 8 Loss

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed 10 times for 39 yards during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also caught two of his four targets for an additional 11 yards through the air. After eight weeks, it has become clear that Stevenson's fantasy production is dependent on him finding the end zone […]

Demario Douglas Leads Team With Five Catches

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas hauled in five of seven targets for 25 yards during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. The rookie led the team in targets and catches, though his yardage ranked fourth on the squad. Douglas' big game coincided with a mid-game injury to Kendrick Bourne (knee) that could be […]

Kirk Cousins Feared To Have Torn Achilles

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles tendon during Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The veteran signal-caller will undergo an MRI to confirm the diagnosis. If the injury is confirmed, Cousins will miss the remainder of the 2023 season, delivering […]

Hunter Henry Quiet In Week 8 Loss

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught all three of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 28-year-old's best game of the season came back in Week 2 versus Miami, but he was unable to replicate that big outing during Sunday's rematch. Henry has gone from being a […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Finds End Zone In Return

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster turned his lone target into a three-yard touchdown reception during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. After missing two games, Smith-Schuster returned to action in Week 8. Although he didn't have a big game, he did find the end zone for the first time as a Patriot. The […]

Mac Jones Throws For Two Touchdowns In Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones completed 19 of 29 passes for 161 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also took three sacks and had negative two rushing yards. All in all, Jones had a relatively disappointing outing, especially since he seemingly dismantled a strong Buffalo defense […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Questionable For Monday Night

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (illness) has been added to the injury report and is officially questionable for Monday Night Football versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. This is a new development for Detroit and its star receiver after he logged a pair of full practices on Thursday and Friday. It's […]

Kirk Cousins Ruled Out, Jaren Hall Enters At QB

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins (ankle) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. He was in extreme pain and unable to put weight on his right leg. The Vikings quickly evaluated Cousins and ruled him out for the remainder of Week 8. It's a very concerning development for Minnesota, […]

Curtis Samuel Won't Return In Week 8

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (toe) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He had initially been listed as questionable to return. The 27-year-old caught all four of his targets for 22 yards prior to exiting the contest. Look for Jahan Dotson and Antonio Gibson to […]
