Michael Carter A Middling Option In Week 9

New York Jets running back Michael Carter is just a middling option in a Week 9 game against the Buffalo Bills. In his first game as a full-time starter after Breece Hall (knee) was lost for the season, Carter was only able to put up 26 yards on the ground and 35 through the air. […]

Cardinals Hope Robbie Anderson Will Have Bigger Role

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he hopes wide receiver Robbie Anderson can have a bigger role in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks and that the coaches will try to "force feed" him the ball. In his first two games with the team after being acquired from the Carolina Panthers, Anderson has been […]

Zach Wilson Not A Recommended Option In Week 9

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is not a recommended fantasy option in a Week 9 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Wilson had his first 300-yard passing game in Week 8 as the Jets went much more pass heavy after losing running back Breece Hall (knee) for the season. Still, Wilson made too many mistakes […]

Tyron Smith Still A Ways From A Possible Return

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that left tackle Tyron Smith (knee, hamstring) is around three to four weeks away from starting his 21-day window to practice with the team. However, Jones is also cautious that could change. The 31-year-old has been on Injured Reserve since Aug. 31 after having surgery on his […]

Alec Pierce Continues To Be Volatile Fantasy Option

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Alec Pierce has operated consistently as the No. 3 wideout for the Colts, playing 54% of the snaps compared to Parris Campbell's 86%. Since Week 3, he's seen at least 37 yards in every game and at least four targets. However, he's only had two top-20 fantasy finishes since then. […]

Jordan Poyer Week-To-Week

Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (elbow), who was unable to practice on Wednesday, is considered week-to-week with the elbow injury that he suffered in the Sunday night win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, according to a source. It's unlikely that the 31-year-old will be ready to go for the Week 9 divisional […]

Kadarius Toney Could Play Against Titans

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid suggested that wide receiver Kadarius Toney could make his debut with the team on Sunday night against the Tennessee Titans. "We'll try to work him in. He picks things up fairly easily," Reid said. Toney played in just two games for the New York Giants this year due […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Remains Starting Option In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. saw nine targets in Week 8, which is encouraging considering the quarterback change in Indianapolis. With running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) hurt and the overall state of the offense in disarray, Pittman should continue to be the focal point. While Pittman's volume has been there this season, he's […]

Brandin Cooks Won't Play Thursday Night

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks will not play on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cooks missed practice this week for what the team described as personal reasons. He had hoped to be traded to a playoff contender at Tuesday's deadline, but it did not happen and he will not play in Week 9. […]

Deon Jackson Is Worth Monitoring For Week 9

With the Tuesday afternoon trade of Nyheim Hines to the Buffalo Bills, Indianapolis Colts running back Deon Jackson steps into the No. 2 role in the Colts backfield, at least for the time being after the Colts acquired Zack Moss. This position is especially important due to Jonathan Taylor's lingering ankle injury. When Taylor missed […]

Sam Ehlinger Faces Tough Test In Week 9

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger took over for veteran Matt Ryan as the Colts' starting quarterback in Week 9, throwing for 201 scoreless yards en route to a loss. This week, Ehlinger's new life as a starting quarterback won't get any easier, as he takes on the New England Patriots stout defense. Head coach Bill […]

Texans Defense Should Be Off Fantasy Radar On Thursday

The Houston Texans play host to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night, and while Houston's MLB team kept the Philadelphia Phillies hitless and scoreless in the World Series on Wednesday, the NFL equivalents are unlikely to do so. The Texans rank 17th in the NFL in scoring defense, while the Eagles are fourth in scoring […]

Dameon Pierce Might Be Only Playable Texan In Week 9

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce remains a fantasy RB2 play heading into Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, even as the rest of his team is virtually unplayable against the league's fourth-best scoring defense. The Houston passing game is currently suffering from receiver injuries and is likely going to struggle to move the ball […]

Davis Mills A Risky Option In Week 9

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills should be mainly off the fantasy radar for Thursday night's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles allow the fourth-fewest passing yards per game, while the Texans throw for an average of 196 yards per contest, which ranks 25th in the NFL. With Nico Collins (groin) out and Brandin Cooks […]

Cam Akers Could Return Against Tampa Bay

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (personal) could return and play in Sunday's contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sean McVay said Wednesday "he had a good talk with Cam Akers," who has been inactive the past two games and wasn't traded by Tuesday's deadline. The 23-year-old will return to practice on Thursday. He […]

Josh Jacobs Remains An Elite Option Against The Jaguars

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs was quiet in last Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints. He rushed 10 times for 43 yards and caught two of four targets for 11 yards in the Week 8 loss. The 24-year-old has been a reliable fantasy option this season, rushing for 676 yards and six […]

Derek Carr Will Look To Bounce Back Against Jacksonville

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed 15-of-26 passes for 101 yards and an interception in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints. The Raiders were shut out as the offense struggled to move the ball in last Sunday's loss against New Orleans. Carr will look to bounce back against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. […]

Brandin Cooks' Status Up In The Air For Thursday Night

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks didn't practice this week due to personal reasons, and it's unclear if he will be active for Thursday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 29-year-old is officially listed as questionable, and his status for Thursday's contest is up in the air. After the Texans didn't move the veteran […]

Cam Akers Will Return To Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (personal) will return to practice Thursday. He has been inactive the last two games for what the team called personal reasons. The Rams could not find a trade partner for Akers by the NFL trade deadline, and he will return to the team for Thursday's practice. The 23-year-old […]

Bradley Chubb Inks Five-Year Extension With Miami

The Miami Dolphins signed linebacker Bradley Chubb to a five-year, $119 million contract extension on Thursday. Miami recently acquired Chubb from the Broncos just before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday. Chubb and a 2025 fifth-round pick will be moved to the Broncos for a 2023 first-round pick, a 2024 fourth-round selection, and running back […]

Kadarius Toney Gets In First Practice With Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney made his first appearance at practice with his new team on Wednesday. The Chiefs acquired the former first-rounder through a trade with the New York Giants last week. Toney struggled with injuries and overall usage during his time in New York, so he has a great opportunity to […]

Jordan Davis Placed On Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis (ankle) was placed on injured reserve due to a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 8. The first-round rookie has been impressive this season as a member of a strong defensive line. While the Eagles have been stellar on defense, the loss of Davis will surely hamper their ability to […]

Adam Thielen Logs Full Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. In last Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals, he suffered a knee contusion. The 32-year-old caught six of his seven targets for 67 yards in the Week 8 win. Overall, he has 35 catches for 351 yards and two touchdowns over […]

Dyami Brown Removed From Injury Report

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown (groin) was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He missed the last two weeks due to a groin injury. The 23-year-old has three catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns over six games in 2022. He could have an expanded role if […]

Marquise Goodwin Dealing With A Groin Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (groin) didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury. He was set for a more prominent role in Week 8 with DK Metcalf (knee) and Tyler Lockett (hamstring) dealing with injuries. Metcalf and Lockett were both active, and Goodwin was utilized as Seattle's WR3 in last Sunday's win over […]

Noah Fant Limited Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He is dealing with a hamstring injury and will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Arizona Cardinals. The 24-year-old has posted modest production in his first full season with the Seahawks. He has […]

Tyler Lockett Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hamstring, ribs) was limited in practice Wednesday. He is dealing with a pair of injuries but did suit up last Sunday against the Giants. The 30-year-old caught five passes for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Week 8 win. He will be limited this week but is expected […]

DK Metcalf Limited Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday. He was active in Week 8 against the Giants despite dealing with a patellar tendon injury. The 24-year-old caught six receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown in last Sunday's win over the Giants. He is expected to be limited again in […]

Eagles Defense An Elite Fantasy Option Against Houston

The Philadelphia Eagles defense will face the Davis Mills-led Houston Texans on Thursday night. The Eagles have been on fire since Week 2, allowing an average of 12.5 points scored per game, 3.7 sacks, and 2.5 turnovers. Houston's offense is ranked dead last in total points scored this season, will be missing No. 2 wide […]

Jake Elliott A Solid Streaming Option In Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott faces the Houston Texans on the road this Thursday night. The 27-year-old has been perfect on all field goal attempts this year that were not blocked, even though he averages less than two attempts per game. Philadelphia is having little trouble finding the end zone when in scoring range this […]
