Week 9 Fantasy Football News and Outlooks
Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was busy once again in Week 8, hauling in eight receptions for 63 yards on 12 targets against the Buccaneers. It marked his sixth game this season with double-digit targets, and he now ranks second in the league with 83 overall. Olave has built strong chemistry with Spencer Rattler through the first half of the season, but rookie Tyler Shough is set to take over at quarterback in Week 9 against the Rams, adding some uncertainty to his outlook.
Still, Olave's steady volume keeps him firmly in the WR1/WR2 mix, and Shough's big arm could lead to more deep-shot opportunities if the two can establish a connection of their own. With trade rumors swirling around Rashid Shaheed and Brandin Cooks, Olave's role as the undisputed top target in the Saints' passing attack appears even more secure.
TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson's long-awaited emergence finally happened during last Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. The rookie rushed for 75 yards on 10 carries, with his best play being a 27-yard run. He wasn't involved in the passing game, nor did he lead the team in touches, but he was far more efficient than Rhamondre Stevenson and proved that he can excel even against a strong run defense like Cleveland's. An increased rushing workload is a good sign for Henderson going forward, as he should continue to earn more snaps on a wide variety of downs.
His 21 percent snap share from last weekend is bound to increase, too. The biggest area of focus for Henderson now is ball security, as he lost his first career fumble against Cleveland. With that said, Stevenson hasn't been any better, losing three fumbles of his own in 2025. Moving forward, Henderson should continue to eat into Stevenson's workload while emerging as a fantasy football threat. He should be added off waivers in leagues with at least 10 teams, and he could be a worthwhile RB3/flex option in leagues with at least 12-14 teams when he takes on the Falcons in Week 9.
Calvin Austin III, Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III returned to action in Week 8 after missing two games with a shoulder injury, finishing with four receptions for 28 yards in a loss to the Green Bay Packers. While his six targets were second-most on the team, Austin was outshined by second-year wideout Roman Wilson, who led the Steelers with 74 yards and a late touchdown. Wilson's growing involvement will be worth monitoring, but for the time being, Austin remains the team's WR2 behind DK Metcalf.
Encouragingly, he played on 78% of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps, well ahead of Wilson's 46% snap share. Nonetheless, Austin cannot be trusted in most fantasy lineups. He profiles as a boom-or-bust WR4 in an enticing Week 9 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
It's looking more likely that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) will make his return to the field this Thursday night in a Week 9 contest against the Miami Dolphins after the two-time MVP signal-caller was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice for the second straight day this week. The 28-year-old said after Tuesday's session that he is 100% healthy and ready to go for the first time since injuring his hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
He was close to being able to play on Sunday in the win over the Chicago Bears, but the Ravens held him out an extra week as a precaution with a quick turnaround in Week 9. Although Jackson might not be inclined to take off and run for extra yards in his first game back this week, fantasy managers should have no hesitations in throwing him back into their starting lineups against a generous Dolphins defense.
