Zach Charbonnet Earns a Look at Flex
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet had already topped his Week 8 carry total by halftime against the Arizona Cardinals. He converted third-and-one with a five-yard run on the drive that produced Seattle's second touchdown. Charbonnet finished Sunday's Week 9 win with 77 yards on 16 carries and a nine-yard catch. He also helped run out the clock after Seattle's defense forced a turnover on downs in the fourth quarter. In his season debut against Chicago after tearing his ACL in January, Charbonnet had six carries to Jadarian Price's 10. The split flipped against Arizona, with Price getting nine carries for 24 yards. Price still led Seattle with four catches for 54 yards, and tight end AJ Barner scored the team's only rushing touchdown from the one-yard line. Charbonnet is a viable flex in 12-team leagues for the Week 10 trip to Las Vegas. The Raiders allowed 146.4 rushing yards per game through Week 8, second most in the NFL, then gave up rushing touchdowns on San Francisco's first two drives Sunday.

Immanuel Quickley Iffy Against Memphis
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies after being limited in Sunday's practice. Quickley missed Friday's win over Milwaukee with hamstring tightness, which is notable after an injury to the same leg kept him out of last season's first-round playoff series. The 27-year-old is averaging 17.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 2.6 three-pointers through eight games. Jamal Shead would be in line for another start if Quickley sits after handing out a career-high 16 assists against the Bucks on Friday.

Caleb Douglas Leads the Way for Miami in Week 9
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Caleb Douglas caught six of his eight targets for 70 yards during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Detroit Lions. Miami fell to 1-7 with the defeat, but to their credit, they have been able to support some mid-range fantasy performances throughout the season. Douglas falls under that umbrella, averaging 14.1 PPR points per game over the last three weeks. During that three-game span, he has 17 targets, 12 catches, 183 yards, and a pair of touchdowns. The rookie seems to have taken over as Malik Willis' favorite receiver; not only has he led the team in targets each of the last two weeks, but he has also played at least 73.6% of the snaps in each of his last two games. Managers should feel comfortable rolling out Douglas as a high-end WR3/flex, especially with a more favorable matchup against the Colts in Week 10.

Scottie Barnes Carries Questionable Tag for Monday
Toronto Raptors forward/center Scottie Barnes (groin) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies after being limited in Sunday's practice, according to Josh Lewenberg. Barnes missed Friday's win over Milwaukee after appearing to favor his hip earlier in the week. The 25-year-old is averaging 23.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 2.3 steals through eight games. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) still sidelined, another Barnes absence would keep Collin Murray-Boyles in line for added frontcourt work, while RJ Barrett should remain one of Toronto's primary scoring options.

Drake London Leads Team in Receiving Yards Amid Modest Performance
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught all five of his targets for 68 receiving yards during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. On a positive note, London had a 100% catch rate and led the team in receiving yards. However, fantasy managers would have liked to see him finish with more catches, more yards, and perhaps a touchdown, given that he is widely viewed as a WR1 in fantasy football. Somehow, London has just one touchdown this year, which is a remarkably low total for a physical, alpha receiver. Perhaps he'll be able to break his scoring drought in Week 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs, as the Falcons are presented with a possible negative game script environment. Unfortunately for London, the odds aren't in his favor; Kansas City has allowed an NFL-fewest two touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2026. London ranks as a high-end WR2, but we acknowledge that many managers will end up deploying him as a WR1 in their lineups.

Kawhi Leonard Back in Toronto for Conditioning Work
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is back in Toronto and going through basketball conditioning, according to Sportsnet's Michael Grange. Leonard has not played since Oct. 23 after developing swelling in his knee, but he has completed treatment and is now working through the return-to-play process. The 35-year-old averaged 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.5 steals across his first two games. Toronto is expected to provide another update Tuesday, though a return later in November may be more realistic. Ja'Kobe Walter should continue seeing steady minutes in the starting lineup until Leonard is cleared.

Malik Willis Slips Back to Superflex Territory
Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis had topped 200 passing yards and thrown two touchdown passes in each of his first two games after the bye. He went 13-for-25 for 128 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 19-9 Week 9 loss to the Detroit Lions. Willis took three sacks, and his longest completion was a 20-yarder to Caleb Douglas. Miami's biggest gain through the air came on a 46-yard pass by punter Bradley Pinion on a fake punt. Willis added seven yards on two carries, leaving him with just three carries for nine yards over the past two weeks. He had run 16 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns in his previous two games against Cincinnati and the Jets. He's a low-end QB2 in Superflex for Week 10 at Indianapolis and a sit in most one-quarterback leagues. Dak Prescott just threw for 335 yards and two touchdowns against the Colts, but Willis' season high is 220 passing yards, and he's accounted for multiple touchdowns in only three of eight games.

Sam LaPorta's Midseason Struggles Continue in Miami
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught four of his five targets for 32 yards during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins. It was another modest showing from LaPorta, who has now posted single-digit PPR points in all three games since the Lions' bye week. This can certainly be chalked up as a dud performance, but in his defense, he and Amon-Ra St. Brown were the only Lions players with more than two receptions, as Detroit's offense ran the ball quite often on Sunday. The Lions will return home to host the Patriots in Week 10, and a potentially more pass-heavy game script should give LaPorta an opportunity to bounce back as a TE1, at least. He is searching for his first 35-plus-yard game since Week 5, which is also the last time he scored a touchdown.

Mitchell Robinson Cleared to Play Sunday Against Bucks
Boston Celtics center Mitchell Robinson (illness) is available for Sunday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks after entering the day as questionable. The 28-year-old is averaging 5.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.9 minutes and has recently shifted to a reserve role behind Neemias Queta. Robinson has still made an impact on the glass, grabbing 10 rebounds Wednesday against Milwaukee and seven Friday against Charlotte. His limited playing time keeps the fantasy ceiling modest, but he remains capable of providing useful rebounds and defensive production in a short bench role.

Dennis Schroder Out at Least Two Weeks
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Schroder (hamstring) is out for Monday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Schroder also missed Friday against Boston with what was initially labeled a thigh injury before being diagnosed with the strain. The 33-year-old is averaging 10.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.9 assists through nine games, though his playing time had dipped recently. Coby White should take on more of the playmaking load, while rookie Christian Anderson could see more backup point guard minutes during Schroder's absence.

Giants Say "Nothing is Off the Table" Ahead of Trade Deadline
"Nothing is off the table" for the New York Giants ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, according to comments from head coach John Harbaugh to SNY's Connor Hughes. Harbaugh was asked about a report claiming the Giants had pulled back an offer for running back Jonathan Taylor, and the first-year Giants head coach declined to refute the report. He also said nothing is imminent on the trade front, and nothing is off the table. Harbaugh didn't provide much insight into the Giants' plans, but it was nonetheless interesting that he didn't shut down the possibility of New York making a splash. Taylor presumably remains available on the trade market, and while it doesn't sound like the Ravens will be trading Derrick Henry, we wouldn't be totally shocked if Harbaugh tries to reunite with his former running back from Baltimore. Running back isn't the only need for New York, which would also benefit from an offensive line or defensive tackle upgrade.

Justin Herbert Injures Hand Late in Blowout Loss to Texans
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) was out for the rest of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Houston Texans after backup DJ Uiagalelei took over in the fourth quarter. Hayley Elwood reported that Herbert emerged on the sideline wearing a glove on his left hand. Uiagalelei made his NFL regular-season debut with Los Angeles trailing 41-15. Herbert completed 13 of 23 passes for 193 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and Houston sacked him eight times. His lone touchdown was a 58-yard pass to Quentin Johnston earlier in the fourth quarter. The Chargers visit the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night in Week 10.

Kon Knueppel to Be Re-Evaluated in Four Weeks
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Kon Knueppel (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in four weeks after being diagnosed with another strain, the team announced Sunday. Knueppel missed the preseason and Charlotte's first eight games with the same hamstring issue before lasting fewer than six minutes in Wednesday's season debut. The 21-year-old averaged 18.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists as a rookie while leading the NBA with 273 three-pointers. With Dennis Schroder (hamstring) also sidelined for at least two weeks, Grayson Allen and Sion James should have more opportunities on the wing.

Rhamondre Stevenson Injures Knee, Won't Return in Week 9
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Green Bay Packers, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. He finished the game with six carries, 32 rushing yards, three catches, 46 receiving yards, one receiving touchdown, and one lost fumble. Stevenson suffered the injury late in the third quarter on Sunday afternoon. Fantasy managers and Patriots fans will want to stay tuned for updates as the team conducts additional testing postgame. It's a bit too early to panic, and it's certainly possible that the Patriots ruled him out as a precaution because they have an insurmountable 24-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Nevertheless, this injury couldn't come at a worse time for the Patriots, who were also without wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) and running back TreVeyon Henderson (illness) this week. In the event that neither Stevenson nor Henderson can play in Week 10 against Detroit, Corey Kiner and Lan Larison would step up as the Patriots' top two ball-carriers.

Kyle Monangai Inactive for Sunday Night Football
Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Monangai entered this weekend listed as questionable, but his status was trending in the wrong direction. By sitting out Sunday's game, Monangai will now get even more time ot recover, as the Bears are on their bye in Week 10. His next chance to play will come in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints. Monangai projects as the Bears' No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift, but he should still maintain standalone value in most fantasy leagues. After all, he was averaging more than 16 touches per game when healthy, although that number is slightly skewed by a 30-carry performance in Week 4.
