Greg Joseph A Streaming Option In Week 9
Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph is a risky streaming option in Week 9 as he has connected on just one field goal in his last three games. Joseph is one-for-four over that span, as he has been an unreliable option on a weekly basis. He has been perfect on attempts within 49 yards but has […]

Damien Harris, Pierre Strong Jr. Questionable
New England Patriots running backs Damien Harris (illness) and Pierre Strong Jr. (hamstring) are both listed as questionable to play in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts. Harris hasn't practiced all week due to his illness, so he's on the wrong side of questionable for this weekend. The 25-year-old has taken a back seat to […]

T.J. Hockenson A Low-End TE1 In Vikings Debut
Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to start off strong with his new team against the Commanders in Week 9, who have allowed the second-fewest points to tight ends this season. It is unknown how much playing time Hockenson will get in his first game in a new offense, so there definitely is […]

DeVante Parker Ruled Out In Week 9
New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (knee) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts after not practicing at all this week. Parker injured his knee early in the Week 8 win over the New York Jets and will be out this weekend. It's been hard to trust any receiver in […]

Austin Ekeler, Joshua Palmer Will Play Against Atlanta
Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (abdomen) and wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) will both play in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Ekeler popped up on this week's injury report, but the Chargers were just being cautious with him and he shouldn't have any restrictions this weekend. He heads into Week 9 as […]

Adam Thielen A Flex Option Versus Commanders
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will find his way into the flex discussion against a beatable Commanders' secondary in Week 9, as the veteran has seen 31 targets over the past four games. Thielen, who has been notorious for finding the end zone, has only scored two touchdowns this season. However, his usage suggests […]

Justin Jefferson An Elite WR1 Option Versus Commanders
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to find the end zone through the air for the first time since Week 1 as the Vikings travel to Washington. Jefferson has 34 catches for 506 yards in his past four games, so he has been able to provide WR1 value despite having trouble scoring touchdowns […]

Keenan Allen Ruled Out Against Falcons
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Believe it or not, Allen actually made his hamstring worse during the bye week while training and will miss yet another game after returning in Week 7 for the first time since the season opener. It's […]

Dalvin Cook Looks To Keep Rolling In Week 9
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will look to build on a strong past three games, as the Pro-Bowler has scored four touchdowns over this span after a slow start to the season. He carved up the Cardinals' defense in Week 8, as he recorded his first 100-yard game this season. Going up against the […]

J.D. McKissic Won't Play In Week 9
Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic (neck) will not play in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. Head coach Ron Rivera said that McKissic has already or will see a specialist for his neck and will approach the injury with caution. It sounds as though the 29-year-old could be in danger of missing more time […]

Kirk Cousins A QB1 Option Against Commanders
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to build on a solid performance from Week 8 as he will lead his offense against the Commanders in Week 9. Cousins is coming off a 254-yard, three-total touchdown performance, as he has cemented himself as a weekly QB1 option, which has been a fairly thin position so […]

Jared Goff Has High Ceiling, Low Floor Against Packers
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is a boom-or-bust play against a league-average Green Bay Packers defense. The Lions' offense is statistically one of the best units in the NFL, but Goff's floor has proven to be low in the matchups against the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys. However, those are two of the top […]

Dontrell Hilliard Could Be A Factor Against Chiefs
Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard could have a role in the Titans' game plan against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. If Tennessee gets behind early, Hilliard could see plenty of receiving work since the Titans will be forced to pass. Hilliard already has three receiving touchdowns on the season, and he […]

Malik Willis Could Get Second Career Start
Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis could be in line for his second career start against the Kansas City Chiefs as Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is a true game-time decision for Week 9. Willis passed for just 55 yards and an interception on 10 passing attempts against Houston, and if he starts this week, he'll likely have […]

Robert Woods A Risky Week 9 Wideout
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods has been largely unproductive this season, and even though the Kansas City Chiefs allow the third-most fantasy points to the position, he should probably be benched in Week 9. Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is a true game-time decision, and if he doesn't play, Woods' ceiling could be as low as […]

James Conner A Game-Time Decision In Week 9
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is officially questionable and will be a game-time decision for the matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. Seattle is a top-10 fantasy matchup for running backs, so it's tough to sit Conner if he does play. He'd be at risk for a limited role, but that's […]

Darren Waller Questionable Against Jaguars
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is officially questionable for the team's Week 9 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Waller hasn't played since Week 5, so his return could come back any time soon, and he's trending toward playing this week. That said, he could be ruled out before Sunday, so fantasy managers […]

Derrick Henry A Strong Week 9 Starter
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is a top-five fantasy asset at the position through eight weeks, so needless to say, he should be started in any matchup. The Kansas City Chiefs have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs, so Henry should be able to produce his week 100-yards and a touchdown performance […]

Cooper Kupp Will Play Against Buccaneers
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) will play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. Kupp suffered a minor ankle injury against the San Francisco 49ers last week, but there was little worry he'd miss this contest. As always, matchup stats can be thrown out the window for elite wideouts, so fantasy […]

Kadarius Toney Likely To Be Active In Week 9
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney is expected to be active in his first game with the team after being traded from the New York Giants. Toney was acquired last week and got to practice with the Chiefs during the bye week, so he could have had enough time to be an immediate factor. […]

Ryan Tannehill To Be Game-Time Decision For Sunday Night
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Tannehill logged limited practices before missing practice on Thursday, so his availability figures to be about a 50/50 shot in a big AFC primetime matchup. Kansas City has allowed the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, […]

Michael Badgley A Boom-Or-Bust Option
Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley hasn't made a huge fantasy impact this season, but since the team has one of the best offenses in the NFL, he certainly has upside. That said, Detroit often opts to go for it on fourth down, so his range of outcomes is wide. He should be considered in deep […]

Lions Defense A Weak Option Against Green Bay
The Detroit Lions defense is arguably the worst unit in the entire NFL, so its fantasy defense/special teams is never on the fantasy radar in any matchup. The Green Bay Packers offense has looked atrocious with a lack of wideouts, but Aaron Rodgers and company can easily bounce back in this juicy matchup.

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 […]

Jahan Dotson Won't Play Against Vikings
Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson (hamstring) will not play in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings, but head coach Ron Rivera said the team hopes to get him back on the field next week. Dotson will miss his fifth straight game. The 22-year-old was nearing a return before suffering a setback with his […]
