Mason Rudolph Underwhelming Against Colts

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph finished 26 of 35 for just 191 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Sunday’s 26-24 win over the Colts. Rudolph heavily favored shorter passes again in Week 9, and while he connected with James Washington for 40 yards, his next longest completion was just 17 yards. However, he […]

Jordan Howard Scores Another Touchdown in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard led the Eagles backfield again in Week 9. He scored a touchdown and gained 82 yards on 19 carries. He added another yard on his lone reception. Howard's touchdown was a 13-yard run in the third quarter. Howard out-touched Miles Sanders 20-to-13 and should continue to be the leader […]

Carson Wentz Throws Just One Touchdown in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz led his team to another win in Week 9 despite a less-than-stellar fantasy performance. He completed 26 of his 39 passes for 239 yards and one touchdown. He added four runs for 15 more yards on the ground. Kicker Jake Elliott and the Eagles running game were all the team […]

DeSean Jackson Aggravates Injury In Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) aggravated his injury in Week 9 against the Bears and is questionable to return. Jackson returned for the first time since Week 2, but he had just one catch for five yards on his only target before going back to the sidelines. It's not a good sign for […]

Geremy Davis Inactive In Week 9

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Geremy Davis (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Packers. Davis hasn't been fantasy relevant with three catches for 38 yards in two games this year, but his absence will allow Andre Patton to emerge in three-receiver sets. There won't be enough to go around behind Keenan […]

Davante Adams Officially Active Against Chargers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is officially active for Week 9 against the Chargers. Adams will be on the field for the first time since he suffered a turf toe injury on Sept. 26 against the Eagles. There might be some rust to shake off and he'll be shadowed by cornerback Casey […]

Darius Slay Returning For Lions Defense

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) is active for Week 9 against the Raiders. Defensive tackle Damon Harrison (groin) is also active, giving the Lions a boost against the Oakland offense on Sunday. However, defensive back Tracy Walker (knee) and defensive tackle Mike Daniels (foot) are out. Slay's return to action is bad news for […]

Cameron Brate Active Against Seahawks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (ribs) is officially active for Week 9 against the Seahawks. Brate was listed as questionable but wasn't really in any danger of missing this game. Although he didn't capitalize with O.J. Howard (hamstring) out in Week 8, Brate has the opportunity to put up TE1 numbers against Seattle […]

Jacoby Brissett Injured Sunday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett (knee) was forced to leave the Week 9 game against the Steelers early after one of his teammates fell into his left knee. Brissett was in a lot of pain on the ground but was able to limp off the field. He's questionable to return. Brian Hoyer has taken over […]

D.J. Chark Struggles Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark caught four passes for 32 yards in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. He was targeted a team-high nine times. The Texans allowed the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers coming into this game, so Chark was a must-start fantasy option in virtually all leagues. That makes […]

Chris Conley Quiet Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley had only two receptions for 32 yards in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. He was targeted seven times. Against a weak Texans secondary, Conley was a popular flex play with Dede Westbrook out, but the Jaguars just couldn't get their passing game going. Conley is worth a roster […]

Ryquell Armstead Involved In Passing Game

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Ryquell Armstead didn't have a single carry in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans, but he did catch five passes for 65 yards. Much of that production came late when the Jaguars' chances of winning were done, so don't rush out and grab Armstead in PPR leagues just yet, but it'll […]

Adam Thielen Is Questionable To Return Against Chiefs

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) has re-aggravated his injury and is questionable to return in Week 9's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Thielen only lasted a few possessions before being pulled and didn't catch his only target on a bad throw from Kirk Cousins. It looks like Thielen's day is finished - […]

Keelan Cole Leads Jaguars In Receiving Yards

In a major change of pace, the Jacksonville Jaguars leading receiver in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans was wide receiver Keelan Cole, who caught five passes for 80 yards. Cole's been a non-factor all season but caught a pair of touchdowns over the past few weeks. With Dede Westbrook not playing on Sunday, there […]

Leonard Fournette Cools Down Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had been on a hot streak lately, but on Sunday the Texans did a good job slowing down the third-year back. Fournette had 11 carries for 40 yards while also adding five catches for 32 yards. Not the greatest game for Fournette, but he's still one of the best […]

Gardner Minshew Has Four Turnovers

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew was 27-for-47 for 309 yards in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. But while the yardage looked good, the two interceptions and two fumbles in the second half didn't. And while Minshew did have 34 rushing yards, his zero total touchdowns helped contribute to what was a disappointing fantasy day. […]

Darren Fells Has One Catch, One Yard, One Touchdown

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells has been a low-volume guy all year, but he continues to find the end zone. Against the Jaguars in Week 9, Fells caught just one pass. That pass went for just one yard. But as seems to be the case with Fells this year, that one yard just so […]

DeAndre Hopkins Catches Touchdown In London

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had eight receptions on Sunday as the Texans hopped across the pond to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. It wasn't a huge yardage game for Hopkins, who finished with just 48 yards, but a late touchdown catch helped him finish with a solid fantasy line. It's been a frustrating […]

Kenny Stills Relatively Quiet In Week 9

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills had one impressive catch early on, but was mostly quiet in Houston's Week 9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, catching all four of his targets for 52 yards. Stills is taking a clear backseat to DeAndre Hopkins in Houston's receiving game, and with Will Fuller (hamstring) potentially returning after […]

Duke Johnson Has Rushing Score In London

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson had seven carries for just 13 yards in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he did manage to find the end zone on one of those carries. Still, in classic Duke Johnson fashion, it was the receiving game where he made his impact, catching five passes for a […]

Jaguars Can't Contain Carlos Hyde

Sunday was an almost perfect day for Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde, minus a fumble that occurred just before he would have scored his only touchdown of the day. But even without finding the end zone, Hyde had 19 carries for 160 yards and the fumble, a solid outing for the veteran back. Sure, […]

Deshaun Watson Has Pair Of Touchdowns In Week 9

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson may have entered Sunday's game against the Jaguars nursing an eye injury, but it didn't have a huge impact on his performance. Watson was 22-for-28 throwing the ball, finishing with 201 yards and two touchdowns. He added 37 rushing yards on seven carries and just missed out on a rushing […]

Sterling Shepard Won't Play On Monday Night

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) will not play on Monday night against the Cowboys. Shepard was limited in practices this week, but he told the training staff that he didn't feel well on Saturday and has been put back into the concussion protocol. He's suffered two concussions already this season and has […]

Steelers Asked About Le'Veon Bell

The Pittsburgh Steelers inquired about the availability of New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell before the trade deadline when they feared that running back James Conner's (shoulder) injury was serious, according to sources. The Texans, Chiefs and Packers also discussed trading for Bell. When the Steelers learned that Conner's injury was just a week-to-week […]

Seahawks Had Interest In Antonio Brown

The Seattle Seahawks were doing their due diligence on free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown this week before they claimed wide receiver Josh Gordon on waivers on Friday, according to league sources. Quarterback Russell Wilson was even pushing the team to sign Brown before they claimed Gordon. Brown's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said there are "a few […]

Duke Williams A Healthy Scratch For Bills

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Duke Williams is a healthy inactive for Week 9 against the Redskins. Running back T.J. Yeldon also remains a healthy scratch with rookie Devin Singletary backing up Frank Gore in the backfield. Williams caught a touchdown on Oct. 6 in the win over the Titans, but he has just six catches […]

Curtis Samuel Active In Week 9

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shoulder) is active for Week 9 against the Titans. Samuel hasn't been as trustworthy for fantasy owners with Kyle Allen at quarterback instead of Cam Newton (foot), but he still has some fantasy appeal as a boom-or-bust WR3. The 23-year-old had a healthy 11 targets in the loss in […]

DeSean Jackson Officially Active Against Bears

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is officially active in Week 9 against the Bears. It'll be Jackson's first action since his injury in Week 2. He went off in the season opener for eight catches, 154 yards and two touchdowns, and he'll return to his role as the team's field-stretcher as a deep […]

Patrick Mahomes, Frank Clark Out Against Vikes

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) and defensive end Frank Clark (neck) are both inactive for Week 9 against the Vikings. Mahomes was a game-time decision, but the Chiefs are playing it safe with their star quarterback. There's a good chance he returns in Week 10 to face the Titans. When he's back, Mahomes […]

Demaryius Thomas Active For Week 9

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (ankle, hamstring), who was listed as questionable, is active for Week 9 against the Dolphins. Thomas has had a solid 14 targets the last two weeks with Sam Darnold back at quarterback as the No. 3 receiver behind Robby Anderson and Jamison Crowder. DT remains more of a […]
