Los Angeles Chargers running back
Hassan Haskins (hamstring) was placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. Haskins was already ruled out for Week 9 due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 7. Clearly, Haskins has suffered a significant enough injury to sideline him for the next four games. His next chance to play will be Week 14 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chargers backfield is extremely banged up at the moment.
Kimani Vidal will remain the workhorse back moving forward with
Omarion Hampton (ankle) and
Najee Harris (Achilles) both still sidelined. Haskins wasn't doing enough when healthy to warrant holding through the injury.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Demercado was limited through the first two practices of the week. However, Demercado was able to get through a full session on Saturday. After that, Demercado was cleared to suit up for Monday's Week 9 matchup in Dallas. The 26-year-old is currently stuck in the middle of a committee in the backfield. In Week 5, Demercado only touched the ball three times, but he rushed for 81 yards. Sadly, Demercado isn't touching the ball enough right now to warrant starting in any formats.

Buffalo Bills kicker
Matt Prater remains a high-value kicker heading into a matchup with a Chiefs defense that ranks third against kickers in fantasy scoring this season. Prater has managed to score seven or more points in all but one matchup this season. With the Bills offense running at full speed, Prater has managed to connect on 12 of 13 field goals this season. He has averaged over 9 points per game for fantasy purposes, and should see multiple field goal opportunities in a game that will likely be decided in the fourth quarter. The weather outlook is clear skies tomorrow, setting up for a high-scoring matchup between two high-powered offenses.

The Las Vegas Raiders defense has largely struggled through the season, as they've scored zero or negative points in three of seven games this season. Despite the team's success against the Patriots and Titans, they have struggled to produce any consistency outside of superstar Maxx Crosby. The team's 10.1% turnover rate ranks middle of the pack, and is a bright spot for the unit. However, despite having such a dynamic pass rusher, the Raiders have generated more than a single sack in just three games this season. This week, the Raiders sit as the No. 18 defense in our rankings, and should be picked up only by the neediest teams.

Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid appears ready for a full workload as the team prepares to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Last week, Kincaid was eased back into the lineup with just a 22% snap share against the overmatched Carolina Panthers. This week, the Bills will need their star at full speed as they take on their biggest AFC competition. In the playoffs last season, Kincaid hauled in just two passes on four targets for 13 yards. Quarterback
Josh Allen will look to get Kincaid more involved early in this week's matchup, as the young tight end's impact on this offense continues to grow.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Brock Bowers (knee) is finally logging full practices and seems poised for a breakout game against a depleted Jacksonville Jaguars defense in Week 9. A healthy Bowers could give quarterback
Geno Smith the dominant weapon he's been lacking in the passing game all season. Bowers was viewed as the top option at the position coming into the season, and could finally start to deliver on the potential that owners were excited to see. Look for the second-year weapon to work across all three levels of the defense, and provide the heavy target share we saw before his Week 1 injury.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers (knee) is an interesting flex play heading into Week 9 despite looming trade rumors. Meyers has turned 43 targets into 29 receptions for 329 yards despite missing the team's Week 7 matchup with the Chiefs. The disgruntled receiver offers flex upside this week as the Raiders take on a banged-up Jaguars secondary. Meyers has one last game before the trade deadline, and could send a message to head coaches across the league with a big game Sunday. Look for the team to keep Meyers involved early, as the team tries to maximize their return on a potential deal on Tuesday.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tre Tucker has not found consistency due to
Geno Smith's struggles to adapt with his new team. Tucker has failed to eclipse 10 fantasy points in five of his seven games this year, but has high upside against a bottom-ten fantasy defense against opposing receivers this season. The Jaguars dynamic linebacker Devin Lloyd (calf) is questionable, while defensive backs Eric Murray (neck) and
Travis Hunter (knee) are out. With so many injury concerns in Jacksonville, Tucker could emerge as a sneaky Week 9 flex play.

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.
