Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Zay Jones (knee) has been cleared from the injury report ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The 30-year-old was listed as a limited participant on Thursday and Friday before being upgraded to full on Saturday. Jones is coming off his two most productive games of the season before Arizona's Week 8 bye, catching both of his targets for 67 yards in Week 7 against the Packers and hauling in five of eight targets for 79 yards in their Week 6 loss at the Colts. The veteran has benefitted from
Jacoby Brissett serving as the starting quarterback, which he is set to do again on Monday night against the Cowboys.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Keon Coleman has continued to see looks as a top-three option in the passing game heading into Week 9. Coleman has garnered 39 targets, resulting in 27 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns through seven games. Despite trailing
Khalil Shakir in targets, Coleman has led the Bills in snap share in all but one game this season. With the 22-year-old wideout seeing consistent reps, his target load should only grow as quarterback
Josh Allen continues to build trust with his second-year weapon. Coleman is on pace to improve upon his rookie campaign, which saw him haul in 29 receptions for 556 yards and four touchdowns. With the Bills taking on a stingy Chiefs defense, Coleman could see enough looks to sneak into lineups as a flex play in deeper leagues.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back
Jaydon Blue saw his heaviest workload of the season in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos, totaling 29 rushing yards on eight carries. While his role in the offense has been gradually increasing, Blue remains a low-volume option and is not a reliable fantasy contributor at this time.
The Cowboys face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, which could present a favorable matchup for Dallas' offense overall. However, with limited touches expected, Blue should continue to sit on fantasy benches rather than being considered for starting lineups.

Dallas Cowboys kicker
Brandon Aubrey had a disappointing outing in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos, attempting just one field goal in a game where Dallas spent most of the time playing from behind. It marked Aubrey's worst fantasy performance of the season. In Week 9, Aubrey and the Cowboys face the Arizona Cardinals in a matchup with a projected implied team total of 54.5 points, giving him plenty of scoring opportunities. The Cardinals' defense has been middle of the pack this season, allowing approximately 335.7 yards per game, suggesting the Cowboys' offense should rebound and generate scoring chances for Aubrey. RotoBaller currently ranks Aubrey as the No. 1 kicker for Week 9, making him a must-start option in all fantasy formats this week.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Khalil Shakir has emerged as the go-to option for quarterback
Josh Allen as the team heads into the second half of the season. The 25-year-old receiver has seen five or more targets in each of the last four games and has established himself in the passing game as the team has been without tight end
Dalton Kincaid. With Kincaid returning, Shakir should have more room to operate against a Chiefs defense that will be struggling to determine what option they will take away. Kansas City's third-ranked pass defense, allowing 177.8 yards per game, will be the matchup to watch, leading to a lower floor than expected for this offense. Shakir projects as a flex option heading into Week 9.

Dallas Cowboys tight end
Jake Ferguson had a rough outing in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos, catching zero passes on one target. The performance was uncharacteristic, as Ferguson has seen five or more targets in six of eight games this season. This week, Ferguson and the Cowboys face the Arizona Cardinals, a team that has struggled against tight ends in 2025. With a potentially high-scoring game on the horizon, Ferguson is in position to bounce back as a key piece of Dallas' passing attack. RotoBaller currently ranks Ferguson as the TE7 for Week 9, making him a solid start in all formats, particularly for managers seeking consistent tight end production.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
George Pickens has continued to establish himself as one of fantasy football's top options. Coming off another strong Week 8 performance, Pickens hauled in seven catches on nine targets for 78 yards, maintaining a high level of involvement in the offense. In Week 9, Pickens and the Cowboys face the Arizona Cardinals, a defense that has struggled against the pass this season and ranks inside the top 10 for passing yards allowed. This favorable matchup sets the stage for Pickens to continue his strong start to the season. RotoBaller currently ranks Pickens as the WR10 for Week 9.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
CeeDee Lamb turned in another solid performance in Week 8 against a tough Denver defense, hauling in seven of 10 targets for 74 yards. Even in a difficult matchup, Lamb continued to operate as
Dak Prescott's clear top option, maintaining his strong target share. The Cowboys now face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, a defense that ranks 10th in passing yards allowed per game (234.9). This matchup presents an opportunity for the Dallas passing attack to find more success through the air. Lamb has proven to be one of the most reliable fantasy wideouts when healthy.Fantasy managers should continue to view Lamb as a high-end WR1 heading into Week 9. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the No. 4 wide receiver for the week.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) is officially listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Jonathan Gannon announced Saturday that
Jacoby Brissett will start again at quarterback on Monday night and that Murray could have a role. What that role will be exactly is unclear, but Murray doesn't seem to be quite back to 100% as he works his way back from a sprained foot in Arizona's Week 5 loss to the Titans. The 28-year-old was limited in practice this week, and he'll aim to return in Week 10 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.

Dallas Cowboys running back
Javonte Williams has been phenomenal this season and continues to deliver consistent fantasy production. While he was held in check on the ground last week against the Denver Broncos, rushing for just 41 yards on 3.2 yards per carry, he still found the end zone twice and salvaged a strong fantasy outing. Williams has shown impressive consistency near the goal line and remains a key part of the Cowboys' offensive success. Williams draws a great matchup in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, who have struggled to stop opposing running backs, allowing seven rushing touchdowns through eight weeks. With this game carrying one of the highest projected totals of the week at 54.5 points, Williams should have plenty of scoring opportunities once again. RotoBaller ranks him as the RB10 for Week 9, and he remains a reliable fantasy option with RB1 upside in this matchup.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback
Dak Prescott struggled last week against a tough Denver Broncos defense, throwing for just 188 yards with two interceptions. Expect Prescott and the Cowboys offense to rebound in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals in what profiles as a much friendlier matchup. Arizona has allowed roughly 234 passing yards per game and ranks in the bottom 10 in pass defense this season. With Dallas entering this contest in one of the highest implied scoring environments of the week (54.5-point total), Prescott should have plenty of opportunities to get back on track. He remains a strong QB1 play and is RotoBaller's eighth-ranked quarterback heading into Week 9.

The Washington Commanders' defense has struggled of late as they continue to deal with multiple injuries to key players. They've been decimated on the defensive line, especially, with top edge rushers Dornance Armstrong (knee) and Deatrich Wise (quadriceps) both lost for the season. Washington has gotten torched by the Cowboys and Chiefs over the past two weeks, combining for 76 points and 841 total yards. The secondary is consistently not on the same page, and now the NFL's most lethal duo in
Sam Darnold and
Jaxon Smith-Njigba comes to town. Darnold leads the league in yards per attempt (9.1) and Smith-Njigba leads the league in receiving yards (819). Dan Quinn's defenses have struggled to defend the Kyle Shanahan-style offenses, which is what Seattle's offense has been this season under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Fantasy managers are likely better off looking elsewhere for a defense in Week 9.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back
Ashton Jeanty will battle the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9 on Sunday. Jacksonville's defense ranks eighth against fantasy running backs this season, but the Raiders will look to get Jeanty involved early in what should be an evenly matched game. The team has also been trending towards higher usage for Jeanty in the passing game, and they should continue to put their best playmaker in situations where he is operating in space. Jeanty's workload should remain high following the bye week, making him a safe low-end RB1 option.

The Washington Commanders elevated wide receiver
Treylon Burks from the practice squad ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Burks was signed to Washington's practice squad in the middle of October as the team deals with multiple injuries to its wide receiver core.
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) is set to miss his fifth game of the season, and Washington's depth options have struggled to emerge in his absence. Burks will make his team debut on Sunday Night Football with the opportunity to establish himself as an option for now and in the future for the Commanders. The 2022 first-round pick has battled injuries throughout his career, but flashed promising moments in his rookie year. The 25-year-old faces a tough Seattle secondary in Week 9, but could be a name to watch in deeper leagues over the next few weeks.

Washington Commanders kicker
Matt Gay (back) has been cleared from the injury report and is set to return for Sunday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. Gay missed last week's matchup against the Chiefs, but will only end up missing only one game due to the back injury. The 31-year-old has been solid for Washington in seven games this season, making 10 of 14 attempts and all 18 extra points. However, Gay has been a little shaky from 50 or more yards, with those being three of his four misses. Gay should have more opportunities on Sunday with
Jayden Daniels back in the lineup and projects as a decent fantasy option.
