Carolina Panthers running back
Rico Dowdle had 25 rushing attempts, 130 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Green Bay Packers. He also caught two of his three targets for an additional 11 receiving yards. Dowdle was named the official lead back ahead of this week's game, and he wasted no time confirming the coaching staff made the right decision with his role. He averaged at least 4.65 yards per carry for the fifth consecutive week, bringing his season total to 5.61 YPC. After being somewhat of a non-factor through the first four weeks of the season, Dowdle has suddenly emerged as a potential league-winner in fantasy football. He is the RB3 in PPR leagues over the last five weeks, as well as the overall RB9 over the full nine weeks since the season began. He has a firm grasp on the No. 1 role in Carolina and should be deployed as a strong RB1 option in fantasy football ahead of next week's game against the New Orleans Saints.

New York Giants quarterback
Jaxson Dart completed 24 of his 33 pass attempts for 191 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. He also registered eight rushing attempts for 56 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. The rookie sensation has played quite well despite New York's 2-7 record; he has 11 total touchdowns and just one interception over his last four games. In fact, he has scored a rushing touchdown and a passing touchdown in four straight contests. Even if the Giants continue to lose, Dart should be started in most fantasy leagues. He's a mid-to-low QB1 for Week 10 against the Chicago Bears, who just surrendered 470 yards and four touchdowns to
Joe Flacco.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert completed 19 of his 29 pass attempts for 250 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 9 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He also had nine rushing attempts for an additional 57 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Tennessee made a bid for the upset early, but Herbert and company kept the score close and ultimately pulled ahead. The 27-year-old quarterback now has 11 total touchdowns and four turnovers over his last four games, cementing himself as a top-five signal-caller in fantasy football. He should be started in all leagues despite next week's matchup against a surging Pittsburgh Steelers defense.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) was ruled out ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football. As expected, Kupp will head to the sideline as he's dealing with multiple injuries. This is bad news for an already banged-up wideout group in Seattle. The loss of Kupp figures to mean increased roles for
Jaxon Smith-Njigba,
Tory Horton, and
Ricky White III on Sunday. Horton could be a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers attempting to replace Kupp ahead of kickoff.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end
Colston Loveland put together a breakout performance against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The rookie tight end has been quiet throughout most of the season, but was excellent in Week 9. He snagged his first career touchdown with a five-yard grab in the third quarter. Loveland topped that with a 58-yard game-winning score with 17 seconds remaining on the clock. He finished his day by hauling in six of his seven targets for 118 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the win. It's worth noting that
Cole Kmet (concussion) exited this game early. His status will play into Loveland's fantasy value for the Week 10 matchup against the New York Giants.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Flacco came into a Week 9 contest against the Chicago Bears banged up, but he showed no signs of it during Sunday's 47-42 loss. Flacco has looked remarkable under center since joining the Bengals in Week 6. He roasted the Bears' secondary during Sunday's game. Flacco completed 31-of-47 passing attempts for a career-high 470 passing yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss. The 40-year-old appeared to have made a miraculous comeback with two touchdowns on his final two drives. Sadly for him,
Colston Loveland scored a 58-yard touchdown to secure the win for Chicago. Despite the loss, Flacco has been unbelievable under center for Cincinnati. He'll look to keep the magic going against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Tee Higgins was a tough player to stop during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Higgins has been difficult to keep out of the end zone lately. On Sunday, Higgins hauled in seven of his nine targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. The 26-year-old made easy work of the Bears' secondary, but sadly, the Bengals' defense wasn't able to hold up on their side. Regardless, Higgins has four touchdowns over his last three games and is showing no signs of slowing down. His next chance to do damage will be against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Puka Nacua (chest) is currently considered questionable to return for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. It appears Nacua suffered a chest injury during the second half of this contest. The Rams are already up multiple scores, so they might play it safe and hold out Nacua for the rest of the night. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, but more information should be known soon. Before exiting, Nacua secured seven of his eight targets for 98 yards and a touchdown. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on his status.

San Francisco 49ers running back
Christian McCaffrey was seemingly unstoppable during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. He got the fun started early with a five-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter. The Giants' defense never seemed to figure out how to stop McCaffrey throughout this game. He rushed 28 times for 106 yards with a touchdown. He also hauled in five of his six targets for 67 yards and an additional score in the victory. McCaffrey posted an ugly outing against the Houston Texans last week, but bounced back nicely here. The 29-year-old remains one of the best fantasy players in the league.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Drake London caught nine of his 14 targets for 118 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the New England Patriots. London had an impressive game despite playing against a strong Patriots secondary featuring Christian Gonzalez, Marcus Jones, and Carlton Davis. Not only did he set a new season-high in fantasy points, but he also had his first multi-touchdown showing of the year. London accounted for the bulk of Atlanta's scoring and gave them a chance to tie the game late, but kicker
Parker Romo missed an extra point to keep the Falcons in a one-point deficit that they did not overcome. London is a mid-to-high WR1 heading into Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Chicago Bears quarterback
Caleb Williams completed 20 of his 34 pass attempts for 280 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught two passes for 22 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. Furthermore, he rushed the ball five times for an additional 53 yards on the ground. It was an incredible day all around from Williams, who got involved as a passer, runner, and receiver, thanks to some creative play-calling from Ben Johnson. The former No. 1 pick is having a very impressive second pro season, establishing himself as a mid-to-low QB1 in fantasy football. He'll have an opportunity to feast against the 2-7 New York Giants next week.

Denver Broncos rookie running back
RJ Harvey steals the show again in what was another fourth-quarter comeback against the Houston Texans in Sunday's 18-15 win. Despite being out-touched by backfield mate
J.K. Dobbins 16 to seven, Harvey would get one of the team's only two touchdowns on the day with a crucial 27-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter. Harvey would produce 51 receiving yards on five catches and a touchdown, while adding two carries for five yards as well. Harvey is becoming more dependable for the Broncos as his efficiency is shining through in his rookie season. With a clear nose for the endzone after scoring his fifth touchdown in three weeks, Harvey will continue to be a healthy RB3/ flex play with touchdown upside against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10.

Denver Broncos running back
J.K. Dobbins had a tough day with just 59 total yards on 16 touches against the Houston Texans in Week 9. He rushed for 61 yards on 15 rushing attempts while catching one pass for minus two yards in Sunday's 18-15 victory over Houston. With Dobbins' longest carry being for 12 yards on the day, there were a lot of stifled runs by a stiff Texans defense. One of the more concerning issues is that
RJ Harvey continued to earn some of the most valuable touches, also scoring a critical receiving touchdown that tied up the game. Dobbins still out-touched Harvey 16 to seven in Week 9, but until Dobbins starts finding the end zone more often, he will find himself in more of an RB2 role for fantasy managers. The former Baltimore Raven will look to find the end zone for the first time since Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Troy Franklin paces the team in targets for the second straight week with 10 on the day in Sunday's 18-15 win against the Houston Texans. Franklin finished with four catches on 10 targets for 27 yards and one two-point conversion, which was a crucial play to tie the game at 15 apiece in the fourth quarter. Although Franklin paced the team in targets, he would end up being outproduced by both running back
RJ Harvey and wide receiver
Courtland Sutton on the day, who both had one touchdown each and more receiving yards. With Franklin's targets showing consistency, he is likely to continue being a featured part of the Broncos' offense and is a FLEX play heading into Thursday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
--Luke DeMarcusSource: ESPN

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Courtland Sutton faced a lot of resistance in Sunday morning's game against the Houston Texans, ending with just one catch for a 30-yard touchdown in Sunday's 18-15 win. In what we knew would be a heavily defensive matchup, Sutton was second on the team in targets with six as the Texans' defense made it a point to blanket cover Sutton, as he was the targeted receiver on quarterback
Bo Nix's lone interception for the day. Broncos wide receiver
Troy Franklin would end up leading the team in targets again this week with 10, which marks two straight weeks that Sutton was out-targeted by the latter. With weekly touchdown upside, Sutton should look to produce more in a division rival matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10.
