Jake Ferguson Returns Against Colts
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson returned to Sunday's Week 9 game against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Joseph Hoyt. Nick Harris had reported that Ferguson went to the medical tent, and the reason for the evaluation was unclear. Ferguson entered the game with a questionable designation after spraining his ankle against Arizona in Week 8. He missed practice Wednesday and Thursday and was limited Friday. Before going to the tent, Ferguson gave Dallas the lead early in the second quarter with a 10-yard touchdown catch from Dak Prescott on fourth-and-two.

Kyle Pitts Sr.'s Fantasy Floor Remains Low
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. lost two third-down catches to penalties in Madrid. Offensive holding erased a 19-yard gain, and an illegal shift wiped out a 15-yarder. Pitts had one catch for eight yards at halftime and finished with three catches on five targets for 23 yards and 5.3 PPR points in Atlanta's 34-17 Week 9 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Charlie Woerner caught Michael Penix Jr.'s only touchdown pass from a yard out on Atlanta's opening drive. RotoBaller's weekend PPR rankings had him at TE14. Pitts has drawn five targets in each of his past two games, turning them into five catches for 29 yards. Touchdowns accounted for 24 of his 51.4 PPR points from Week 5 through Week 7. He topped 50 receiving yards just once in that stretch. The Kansas City Chiefs entered Week 9 allowing 17.8 PPR points per game to tight ends. Pitts is a TE2 for Atlanta's Week 10 home game, with the matchup giving deeper-league managers a reason to stream him.

Jake Ferguson Goes to Medical Tent Against Colts
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (undisclosed) went to the medical tent during Sunday's Week 9 game against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Nick Harris. The reason for the evaluation and Ferguson's return status were unclear at the time of the report. Ferguson entered the game with a questionable designation for an ankle injury after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday and returning as a limited participant Friday. His only target at the time was a go-ahead, 10-yard touchdown from Dak Prescott on fourth-and-two early in the second quarter. With Luke Schoonmaker (groin) inactive, Dallas had Brevyn Spann-Ford and James Mitchell available at tight end. Spann-Ford caught a four-yard pass on the opening drive.

Chase Brown Falls Short of RB1 Expectations in Madrid
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown was stopped for no gain from the one-yard line in the second quarter, and Joe Burrow scored on the next snap. Brown finished with 57 yards on nine carries and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards as Cincinnati beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-17 in Madrid in Week 9. He scored 10.5 PPR points after entering the game at RB11 in RotoBaller's weekend PPR rankings. Samaje Perine rushed for 43 yards on 11 carries, seven of them in the fourth quarter as Cincinnati protected a lead. Brown had seven carries to Perine's four through three quarters. Brown gained two more yards on the ground than he did in Week 8, but his catches dropped from eight against the Tennessee Titans to three. He finished with 8.9 PPR points in his first meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers, when he caught just two passes. Brown remains a PPR RB2 for the Week 10 home rematch, with his value still tied to catches during a seven-game touchdown drought.

Jaylen Waddle Questionable to Return Against Panthers
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (head) is reportedly questionable to return against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9 after heading to the locker room. Zac Stevens reported that Waddle was being evaluated for a concussion in the medical tent after taking a hit. Waddle caught a 23-yard pass from Bo Nix in the first quarter. Nix also targeted Courtland Sutton and Pat Bryant on Denver's opening drive, looking for Bryant near the goal line in the receiver's first game back from an ankle injury.

Bijan Robinson's Receiving Work Fuels His Fantasy Rebound
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had 19 carries for the second straight week, and this time he led Atlanta in targets, too. He caught six of seven passes thrown his way for 47 yards in a 34-17 Week 9 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Madrid. His 28-yard catch on third down helped set up his own one-yard touchdown run, which brought Atlanta within seven in the third quarter. Robinson finished with 100 rushing yards and 26.7 PPR points, his best fantasy total since Week 4. His catches and receiving yards alone were worth 10.7 points, more than his entire Week 8 output against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when he went without a catch. Khalil Herbert had the only other carry by an Atlanta running back on Sunday. Atlanta placed Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday after he was limited in all three practices. The Kansas City Chiefs entered Week 9 allowing 96.3 rushing yards per game, and Robinson's work through the air helps keep him an elite RB1 when Atlanta hosts them in Week 10.

Ja'Marr Chase Is Back to Elite WR1 Production
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has topped 30 PPR points in back-to-back games after spending his first six appearances below that mark. His 10 catches, season-high 155 yards and a touchdown were worth 31.5 PPR points Sunday in Madrid, where Cincinnati beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-17 in Week 9. Chase tied the game with a 47-yard touchdown in the first quarter, then caught five passes for 69 yards on an 88-yard second-quarter drive that ended with a Tee Higgins touchdown. Most of Chase's production came before halftime, and Cincinnati leaned on its backs to close out the win. He accounted for 10 of Joe Burrow's 24 completions, a week after catching 11 passes on 16 targets against the Tennessee Titans. The Pittsburgh Steelers visit Cincinnati in Week 10. Chase turned 12 targets into nine catches for 98 yards and a touchdown in their first meeting, his best yardage total before Week 8. He remains an elite WR1 for the rematch. Chase has scored in four straight games, and the past two alone have accounted for 296 of his 647 receiving yards this season.

Joe Burrow Delivers Elite Fantasy Value on Fewer Throws
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw 19 fewer passes than he did against the Tennessee Titans last week and still accounted for every Cincinnati touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid. Burrow went 24-for-29 for 271 yards with three touchdown passes and no interceptions. Ja'Marr Chase supplied more than half of those yards, finishing with 155 and scoring from 47 yards out. His other three touchdowns came from inside the 10-yard line. He scored on a one-yard sneak, his second rushing touchdown in as many games, and hit Tee Higgins from four and eight yards out. The second Higgins score came on the drive after Atlanta cut the lead to seven in the third quarter. Burrow has thrown 12 touchdown passes over his last three games, with two of those outings coming on 30 attempts or fewer. He's an elite QB1 for the Week 10 home rematch with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who gave up 282 passing yards and three touchdowns to him in Week 3.

Raiders Plan to Keep Kirk Cousins Through Trade Deadline
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins had drawn no trade inquiries as of this weekend, and the Raiders have no interest in dealing him ahead of Tuesday's deadline, according to Adam Schefter. The Raiders plan to keep Cousins as their starter until they believe Fernando Mendoza, the first overall pick, is ready. Cousins threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another score in last week's 38-33 win over the New York Jets, which ended a four-game skid. He enters Sunday's game at San Francisco with 19 touchdown passes and five interceptions through eight games. Mendoza remains second on the Week 9 depth chart. All eight of his regular-season pass attempts came in his 10-snap debut against New England, when he completed six for 48 yards.

Cam Skattebo Hopeful to Play Next Thursday in Week 10
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Pat Leonard said he thinks Skattebo has a chance to return when the Giants host the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. Skattebo missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, then returned in a limited capacity Friday and was listed as doubtful. He rushed for a career-high 124 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries in his last game, the Week 7 win at Houston. With Tyrone Tracy Jr. on injured reserve, Devin Singletary is in line to lead the backfield against Philadelphia. Singletary ran for 41 yards on five carries against Houston, including the 30-yard touchdown that won the game in overtime. Gregory Desrosiers and Phil Mafah are also available, with Mafah elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

Jets Intend to Keep Breece Hall Through Trade Deadline
New York Jets running back Breece Hall is expected to stay with the team through Tuesday's trade deadline, according to Jonathan Jones. The Jets signed Hall to a multiyear extension in May after he rushed for a career-high 1,065 yards last season. Head coach Aaron Glenn said earlier this week that Hall remains the starter and Braelon Allen will continue to get touches. Allen rushed for 504 yards in the five games Hall missed with a quad injury. Hall is active against the Kansas City Chiefs after progressing from a limited Wednesday practice to full sessions Thursday and Friday. He carried no game designation on the final injury report.

Breece Hall Appears Set to Start Against Chiefs
New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quad) appears set to start against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, based on Zack Rosenblatt's pregame warmup observations. Head coach Aaron Glenn said earlier this week that Hall remains the starter and Braelon Allen will still get touches. Hall is active for the first time since Week 3 after practicing in full Thursday and Friday following a limited Wednesday session. He carried no game designation. Rich Cimini projected a roughly even split in carries, with the Jets prepared to adjust based on game flow. Allen caught 13 passes for 70 yards in the five games Hall missed, including six catches against Miami.

Mike Evans' Availability for Week 10 is in Doubt
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (ribs, Achilles) is "questionable at best" to return for Week 10 at Dallas, according to Mike Garafolo, who described the Achilles issue as tendinitis. Evans missed all three practices this week, including Friday's final session, and was ruled out against the Las Vegas Raiders. He last played in Week 6 against Washington, catching three passes for 94 yards and exiting just before halftime. Through six games, Evans has 27 catches for 420 yards and three touchdowns. San Francisco placed Christian Kirk on injured reserve Saturday and activated Demarcus Robinson ahead of the Raiders game. In the first game Evans missed, Jordan Watkins caught three passes for 56 yards against Atlanta, and Jacob Cowing added three catches for 38 yards.

Christian McCaffrey Expected to Handle Full Workload Against Raiders
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is expected to handle his usual workload against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9, according to Mike Garafolo. McCaffrey strained his hamstring against Atlanta in Week 7, leaving in the second quarter and returning after halftime. He and Kaelon Black finished with 13 touches apiece. Black handled 12 carries, while McCaffrey caught six passes for 61 yards. Coming off the Week 8 bye, McCaffrey sat out Wednesday, was limited Thursday, and practiced in full Friday. He carries no game designation against Las Vegas. McCaffrey averaged 17.5 touches and scored seven rushing touchdowns over his first six games. The expected return to that workload keeps him in the RB1 tier for Week 9.

Colby Parkinson Active for the Rams on Sunday
Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (ribs) is officially active on Sunday for the team's road contest in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders, per The Athletic's Nate Atkins. Parkinson will be returning to the Rams' offense this weekend after he was unavailable for the Week 8 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 27-year-old could be playing through quite a bit of pain, which will make him an extremely risky TE2 streamer, even with the Rams still missing veteran receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) and fellow tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle). In his last two games played, though, Parkinson has a combined total of 10 receptions on 12 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers looking for upgrades at the TE position should consider him as a touchdown-dependent TE2 in a strong offense with a plus matchup this weekend on the road in D.C. The primary drawback with Parkinson is the fact that he is sharing valuable targets with fellow TEs Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen, especially in the red zone.

Giants Cool on Jonathan Taylor Trade Over Asking Price
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor drew trade interest from the New York Giants, but they backed away over the asking price before Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Josina Anderson. Jay Glazer reported that New York withdrew an offer of second- and fifth-round picks. The Giants have Tyrone Tracy Jr. on injured reserve and Cam Skattebo (hamstring) inactive. Skattebo missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, was limited Friday, and entered the weekend doubtful. Tom Pelissero reported Saturday that Taylor was most likely to stay in Indianapolis through Tuesday's trade deadline. Taylor had a season-low eight carries for 23 yards in Week 8 after the Colts fell behind Jacksonville 28-0 by halftime. Head coach Shane Steichen said he planned to use Taylor as usual against the Dallas Cowboys.

Breece Hall Expected to Split Carries in Week 9 Return
New York Jets running back Breece Hall is expected to split carries roughly evenly with Braelon Allen against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, according to Rich Cimini. Hall is active after missing five games. He was limited Wednesday, practiced in full Thursday and Friday, and had no game designation. Hall outcarried Allen 38 to 15 in the first two games of the season. Allen averaged 18.6 carries in the five games Hall missed, capping that stretch with 147 rushing yards and a touchdown against Las Vegas. Cimini reported that the Jets could adjust the split based on game flow and which back is producing. Hall caught at least two passes in each of his three games, including five for 63 yards against Green Bay. Both backs are viable flex plays in 12-team leagues, with a slight edge to Hall in full PPR.

Jordyn Tyson Active for NFL Debut
New Orleans Saints rookie first-round wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is officially active for his NFL debut on Sunday against the visiting Cleveland Browns in Week 9, according to Saints reporter Jeff Nowak. Despite being questionable all week in his return to practice, the Saints officially activated Tyson from IR on Saturday, and he will be a part of New Orleans' offense for the first time all year. The 22-year-old eighth overall pick from Arizona State injured his hamstring in August during training camp and missed the first eight weeks of the 2026 season. The big-play wideout is expected to eventually become the No. 2 WR in the Saints' offense across from Chris Olave, but fantasy managers should temper expectations after all the time the young pass-catcher has missed so far this year. Tyson's high long-term ceiling makes him stash-worthy in most fantasy football leagues, but we would recommend keeping him on your bench for his NFL debut as he gets worked into the fold in New Orleans. Do not be surprised if Tyson sees limited snaps in his first game of his career. Tyson's return is bad news for Devaughn Vele, who has operated as the WR2 with Tyson on IR.
