Juwan Johnson Has Favorable Matchup

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson had three catches for 48 yards in Week 8, matching his season highs in both categories set in Week 6.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Tagged As Questionable

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (hip) logged a DNP to start the week followed by a pair of limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He will carry a questionable tag going into Week 9's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The seldom-used wideout saw an uptick in usage in Weeks 6 and 7 […]

Mason Tipton Hard To Trust For Week 9

A week after leading his team in targets, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton drew just two in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers and finished the game with two catches for 14 yards. With fellow rookie Bub Means (ankle) declared out and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (hip) tagged as questionable for Week 9, […]

Chris Olave Looking For More Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave had his first 100-yard game of the season in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Alvin Kamara Cleared For Week 9

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hand/ribs) was limited in practice all week, nursing a fracture in both his hand and a rib. Kamara carries no injury designation going into Week 9's game against the Carolina Panthers, however. In Week 1, Kamara had a total of 20 touches for 110 scrimmage yards and a […]

Panthers DST Not An Option In Week 9

Unfortunately, the Carolina Panthers defense will not have the luxury of facing a Saints offense led by backup Spencer Rattler or Jake Haener this weekend as Derek Carr (oblique) returns from a three-week oblique injury.

Eddy Pineiro Needs Field Goals To Be Fantasy Relevant In Week 9

Of NFL placekickers who have played in all eight weeks this year, Eddy Pineiro ranks last in field goals attempted (10). Even when adjusted for kickers who have had their bye weeks, only Nick Folk of the Tennessee Titans has attempted fewer field goals.

Ja'Tavion Sanders Looks To Bounce Back Against New Orleans

Following productive performances against Atlanta and Washington, Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders saw 36 percent of their offensive snaps against Denver and recorded just one reception for seven yards.

Jalen Coker Could Have Major Opportunity In Week 9

Carolina Panthers undrafted rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker recorded four receptions, 78 yards, and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos. Seeing an 18% increase in snaps and a career-high six targets, Coker took advantage of the opportunity and could be in a similar situation against New Orleans in Week 9. Wide receiver […]

Chuba Hubbard Remains Panthers RB1 Entering Week 9

With Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathan Brooks (knee) out and still not activated from his 21-day practice window, running back Chuba Hubbard remains the beneficiary of Carolina's rushing attack.

Bryce Young Looks To Stack Days Against New Orleans

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young got the starting nod again this week as his team prepares to face a reeling New Orleans squad in Week 9. It will be a surefire Sunday morning doozy, as neither team won a game in October. For Young, the matchup provides more opportunity to prove he belongs in this […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Not A Fantasy Option In Week 9

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson will look to make an impact in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders following a quiet Week 8 performance, where he managed five catches for 30 yards.

Daniel Jones Faces A Divisional Rival In Week 9

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will look to bounce back in Week 9 at home against the Washington Commanders after a challenging outing in Week 8, where he finished without a touchdown and threw one interception in the Giants' 26-18 loss to Pittsburgh. Jones has struggled to find the end zone this season, tallying […]

Cam Little Average At Best Play Against Eagles

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little should serve as an average kicker at best against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9. Little put up nine fantasy points against the Green Bay Packers last week and reached double digits against the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts in Weeks 5 and 6. Despite the Jaguars struggling on offense […]

Parker Washington An Intriguing Flex Play In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has a unique opportunity to be fantasy-relevant this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. First off, Christian Kirk is ruled out for the rest of the season, so Washington is the most likely replacement for him going forward. Also, Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis are game-time decisions, meaning Washington […]

D'Ernest Johnson Small Chance For Workhorse Role Against Eagles

Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson could suddenly jump from third to first in the depth chart in Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby are questionable this week, so Johnson would be the next man up. For Johnson to be fantasy-relevant, it would likely take both players to […]

Brenton Strange Chance To Step Up Once More In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has a unique opportunity to produce this week against the Philadelphia Eagles despite starting tight end Evan Engram fully healthy. Every prominent receiving option besides Engram is seemingly banged up, so the Jaguars could run more two tight end sets than usual. If that is the case, Strange could […]

Matthew Stafford A Very Viable Starting Option For Week 9

Las Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is looking to build off his best performance of the season in Week 8. He completed 25 of 34 passes for 279 yards, four passing touchdowns, and threw one interception.

Evan Engram Clear Top Target Due To Injuries In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram is the last healthy receiving option heading into Sunday's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis are questionable along with running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby. Christian Kirk was ruled out for the rest of the season after last week's game, making Engram […]

Jordan Clarkson Out At Least A Week

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) was diagnosed with left plantar fasciitis. He will be re-evaluated in one week.

Collin Sexton (finger) also suffered an avulsion fracture in Thursday's game against the Spurs, although […]

Trevor Lawrence A Risky Play Against Eagles

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has a banged-up receiving core, making it hard to trust him in a difficult matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Darius Slay is out for the Eagles, which could mean the secondary is weaker than usual. However, with Christian Kirk out for the season and Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis […]

Kyle Kuzma Out Again On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (groin) won't play on Saturday versus the Heat. This will mark the veteran's second consecutive absence because of a groin strain suffered in Monday's game against Atlanta.

Jamal Murray Won't Return On Friday Night

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (concussion) won't return to Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He struggled throughout the contest, amassing only six points while shooting 2-for-7 from the field (0-for-3 from deep).
