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 […]

Jordan Poyer Ruled Out This Week

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that safety Jordan Poyer (elbow) will not play in Week 9 against the New York Jets. Poyer suffered an elbow injury last Sunday night in the win over the Green Bay Packers and will miss at least a week. He's being considered week-to-week, so he's no lock to […]

Cameron Brate, Antoine Winfield Jr. Out For Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that tight end Cameron Brate (neck) and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (concussion) are out for Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams. Brate will miss his third straight game with a neck injury, and he's also missed four of the last five games. The 31-year-old returned to […]

Buccaneers Rule Out Russell Gage

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said the team has ruled out wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) for the Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Gage will miss his second straight game after tweaking his hamstring in Week 7. The 26-year-old was a popular sleeper pick in early drafts over the summer, […]

Jonathan Taylor Doubtful To Play In Week 9?

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) wasn't seen at the team's final practice on Friday, and The Athletic's Zak Keefer believes that it's doubtful Taylor will play in Week 9 against the New England Patriots. Taylor hasn't practiced all week after aggravating an ankle sprain in Week 8 that has already cost him two […]

Ezekiel Elliott Expected To Return In Week 10

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that he expects running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee, thigh) to return after the bye in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. Elliott is dealing with a Grade 2 sprained MCL in his right knee and a bruised thigh and sat out the Week 8 […]

Kenneth Walker III Just Getting Started?

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll thinks that rookie running back Kenneth Walker III has bigger and better things to come in his impressive first season in the NFL. "He's very clear, he's a clear guy, and we know who he is and how he sees things. He's really just validating with the opportunities. I […]

D'Andre Swift May Not Be 100 Percent Again This Year

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) has missed 25 percent of the team's games -- 10 of a possible 40 -- since entering the league in 2020. He rushed for 144 yards in the season opener but also sprained his ankle, and he's rushed for just 93 yards since while missing three games. […]

Corey Davis Won't Play Against Bills

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that wide receiver Corey Davis (knee) is out in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills, but he'll be back after the team's Week 10 bye. Davis is dealing with a sprained MCL and will miss his second straight game, but the Jets hope to have him back […]

Packers Defense A Low-Ceiling Streaming Option

The Green Bay Packers defense will take on the Detroit Lions in Week 9. The Packers posted their highest turnover total of the season last week against the Buffalo Bills, interception quarterback Josh Allen twice. However, the Packers have generated the fourth-fewest turnovers this season and are ranked 19th in total sacks. Detroit has allowed […]

Chuba Hubbard Ruled Out For Week 9

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) has officially been ruled out of the Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Hubbard sprained his ankle in Week 7 and will now miss his second straight game, despite the injury initially appearing to be minor in nature. With Hubbard out last week, D'Onta Foreman […]
