James Conner Likely Good To Go In Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is expected to play in Week 9 against the Seahawks, according to Adam Schefter. The 27-year-old has missed his last three games and had been listed as questionable heading into this one. While Conner may be limited to a degree, he should receive enough work to lower Eno […]

Darren Waller Still Not Ready To Return

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) isn't expected to play on Sunday against Jacksonville, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. The 30-year-old has been out since Week 5. However, despite the chance he'd be back for this one, fantasy managers will remain hopeful he'll return in Week 10 versus the Colts. In […]

Damien Harris Not Expected To Play Versus Indy

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (illness) isn't expected to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Colts. Harris missed a few practices throughout the week before logging a limited session on Friday. With the Pats entering a bye, fantasy managers presumably won't see Harris on the field again until the Week 11 meeting […]

D'Andre Swift Expected Play In Week 9

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder, ankle) is expected to play against the Packers, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. The 23-year-old returned from a multi-game absence in Week 8 versus the Dolphins. However, he didn't receive much action, amassing only six yards off five touches. Fortunately, he caught all five of his […]

Spencer Brown Elevated For Week 9

The Carolina Panthers have elevated running back Spencer Brown from the practice squad. He's expected to be active for Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals after Chuba Hubbard (ankle) was ruled out. Brown registered his first snaps of the season last Sunday, rushing six times for 27 yards. He should continue to see touches this […]

Cardinals Hopeful James Conner Plays Sunday

The Arizona Cardinals are "hopeful" that running back James Conner (ribs) will be able to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler. He has missed the last three weeks and is still expected to be a game-time call, but it certainly looks like the 27-year-old is trending in the […]

T.J. Hockenson To Play Key Role Sunday

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson has worked hard to learn his new team's offense and is expected to play a key role during Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler. He notes that the team "plans to get [Hockenson] in there as much as it can." The 25-year-old should be […]

DeMarcus Robinson Questionable For Monday Night

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (groin) missed practice on Saturday and is officially listed as questionable for Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. Although Robinson will likely be a game-time decision, it's far from ideal that he downgraded to a non-participant to close out the week of practices. If Robinson is somehow able […]

Isaiah Likely Aims To Duplicate Week 8 Performance

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely finished with six catches for 77 yards during the Week 8 win over the Bucs. Even better, he scored his first career touchdown. The rookie is hoping to duplicate that performance on Monday night versus the New Orleans Saints. There's a strong possibility he'll remain involved, mainly with Rashod […]

Devin Duvernay May Be Preferred Receiving Option In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay has had a better year than most anticipated. He's already amassed four touchdowns, surpassing his total from last season. Rashod Bateman (foot) is out for the remainder of the year, so Duvernay was expected to see an uptick in attention from Lamar Jackson. However, with Mark Andrews (knee/shoulder) and […]

Kenyan Drake A Flex Option In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenyan Drake had 119 yards and a touchdown off 10 touches during the Week 6 loss to the Giants. Since then, he's logged 18 carries for 67 yards. However, Gus Edwards (hamstring) isn't expected to suit up in Week 9 versus the New Orleans Saints, so Drake will likely be the […]

Lamar Jackson Remains A Must-Start Despite Hobbled Offense

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for 12 touchdowns in the first three weeks of the 2022-23 campaign. However, he's totaled only five in as many games since then. The signal-caller has an uphill battle to produce in Week 9 versus New Orleans. Rashod Bateman (foot) is done for the year, while Gus Edwards (hamstring) […]

Antonio Gibson A Solid Start In Week 9

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson's usage has been slowly improving every week. When rookie running back Brian Robinson returned to the lineup, it seemed as though Gibson's fantasy value had been buried. However, after the last few weeks, his involvement has started to tick back up. This involvement hit its peak with his seven […]

Curtis Samuel A Low-End WR2 In Week 9

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel has been seeing different usage over the past couple of weeks. Since Taylor Heinicke took over as quarterback, the former Buckeye has had nine total carries. While that usage has been promising, he is coming off of a season-low for targets in Week 8. Heinicke has been distributing the […]

Terry McLaurin A WR2 In Week 9

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin could be in for another solid scoring output on Sunday. Since Taylor Heinicke took over as starting quarterback, the former Buckeye has been improving his fantasy totals. In Weeks 7 and 8, McLaurin has averaged 17.5 PPR points per game. Now, the Commanders are taking on the Minnesota Vikings […]

Taylor Heinicke A Solid Streaming Option In Week 9

Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke could be a decent streaming option in Week 9. The 29-year-old has been on a decent stretch since former starter Carson Wentz's injury. In his two appearances as Washington's starting quarterback, Heinicke has put up QB7 numbers with 19.25 fantasy points per game. The Commanders are taking on the Minnesota […]

Cade Otton A Deep-League Streaming Option Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton should have an expanded role in Sunday's contest against the Los Angeles Rams with Cameron Brate (neck) ruled out. He caught two of five targets for 15 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Ravens. The rookie tight end had a touchdown called back due to an […]

Chris Godwin A Must Start Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has seen double-digit targets in four of his last five games. He has yet to find the end zone but has 35 catches for 368 yards over six games in 2022. The 26-year-old has a plus matchup against the LA Rams in Week 9. The Rams have been […]

Mike Evans Should Be Heavily Targeted Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has seen double-digit targets over the last two weeks. He has hauled in 15 catches for 219 yards during that span. The 29-year-old is quarterback Tom Brady's favorite weapon, averaging eight targets per game. He has a terrific matchup against the Rams, who rank 30th in DVOA against […]

Cole Kmet Not A Good Option Against Miami

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet hasn't had a good season. While he finally caught his first touchdown of the 2022-23 campaign in Week 8 versus Dallas, he still has only 14 catches for 159 yards. Fantasy managers shouldn't trust him, so he doesn't deserve to be in any fantasy lineup against the Dolphins. This […]

Darnell Mooney Still Looking For The End Zone

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney has turned his season around. The wideout had just eight catches in the first four games of 2022-23. However, he's caught 17 in his previous four contests. The one-two punch of David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert has recently enhanced the Bears' rushing attack, taking some pressure off Justin Fields. […]

Leonard Fournette A Mid-Range RB2 Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette has been bottled up the last two weeks. He has rushed for 43 yards on 17 attempts and a touchdown while catching five passes for 41 yards in the previous two weeks. The 27-year-old has struggled to find running room due to the offensive line's recent struggles. He […]

Khalil Herbert A Viable Flex Option In Week 9

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert continues to split time with David Montgomery. While the latter is on the field more often, the former has been more productive in 2022-23. Herbert looked good in Week 8 in the meeting with Dallas, finishing with 16 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown. Although Montgomery will remain […]

Tom Brady A Borderline QB1 Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has thrown for 300-plus yards in three of his last five games. He goes up against the Rams, who rank ninth in pass DVOA this season. The 45-year-old has been solid this season, throwing for 2,267 yards and nine touchdowns over eight games in 2022. Tampa Bay ranks first […]

David Montgomery Can't Be Trusted In Week 9

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery hasn't been a consistent fantasy option this season. He's amassed 100 yards on the ground just once and has just two touchdowns. Khalil Herbert's presence has continuously threatened Montgomery's workload. However, the latter should remain the No. 1 option against the Dolphins in Week 9. With that said, the […]

Hunter Henry A Boom Or Bust Option Against Colts

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been hit-or-miss this season. He has 15 catches for 190 yards and a touchdown over eight games in 2022. The 27-year-old was limited to one catch in last Sunday's win over the New York Jets. He will look to rebound against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. […]

Justin Fields Draws Favorable Matchup In Week 9

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields threw for two touchdowns against a potent Cowboys defense in Week 8. Although he only amassed 151 yards, he still completed nearly 74% of his throws, his highest of the 2022-23 campaign. The 23-year-old is playing better than he did to begin the season, and the one-two punch of David […]

Tyquan Thornton Could Have Expanded Role Against Colts

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton could have an expanded role with DeVante Parker (knee) ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He logged a season-high 61 snaps in last Sunday's win over the Jets. The 22-year-old continues to see a decent amount of snaps but has only recorded eight catches […]

Jakobi Meyers A Solid Option Against Colts

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has become the team's top target in 2022. He had 35 catches for 415 yards and three touchdowns over six games. The 25-year-old has a terrific matchup against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. The Colts rank 29th in DVOA against the opposing team's WR1s. DeVante Parker (knee) has […]

David Montgomery Falls Into Low-End RB2 Territory

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery has seen double digit carries in four straight games. However, his production hasn't quite been there as he continues to struggle to find room to run. Last week, Montgomery rushed 15 times for 53 yards in the loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Khalil Herbert continues to work his way […]
