Justin Herbert Totals Three Touchdowns in Win Against Tennessee
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.

Cooper Kupp Ruled Out for Week 9
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.

Colston Loveland Scores Game-Winning Touchdown
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.

Joe Flacco has Career Game in Loss to Bears
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.

Tee Higgins Scores Twice in Loss
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.

Puka Nacua Questionable to Return With Chest Injury
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.

Christian McCaffrey Looks Unstoppable in Win
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.

Drake London Delivers Hat Trick in Crushing Loss
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.

Caleb Williams Scores Four Touchdowns as Bears Win Shootout
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.

RJ Harvey Scores His Fifth Touchdown in Three Weeks Against Texans
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.

J.K. Dobbins Continues Touchdown Drought in Week 9
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.

Troy Franklin Continues to Pace Team in Targets in Week 9
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.

Courtland Sutton's Lone Catch Goes for 30-Yard Touchdown
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.

Bo Nix Rushes to Another Comeback Win in the Fourth Quarter
In a highly defensive game, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix would lead the Broncos to another magical win, as they scored 11 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to defeat the Houston Texans 18-15 on the road. The Texans' secondary was looming all over the field as Nix would only complete 18 of his 37 pass attempts for 173 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. It was Nix's legs that led the team to a win on their final drive, where he rushed for 34 of his total 36 yards, setting kicker Wil Lutz up for the go-ahead field goal as time expired. After defeating one of the toughest defenses in the league, Nix will look to keep the ball rolling in Week 10 against their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders.

Titans Not Shopping Calvin Ridley Ahead of Trade Deadline
The Tennessee Titans are not shopping wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. trade deadline, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Davenport's post on X claims to refute other reports that said Ridley was being shopped. However, he does note that the team has been receiving interest in Ridley. Even though the Titans aren't actively trying to move the veteran receiver, he could still be traded if another team makes a fair offer. Such a scenario would open the door for rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike to occupy even larger roles on offense.
