New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez (head) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. He is officially listed as questionable to return. He had seven tackles and two passes defended at the time of his departure. The 23-year-old is regarded as one of the league's top cornerbacks, but he had a rough time covering
Drake London on Sunday. Before Gonzalez left due to injury, London had tallied six catches, 75 yards, and two touchdowns while being covered by a combination of Gonzalez and Marcus Jones. Until Gonzalez can return, Jones and Carlton Davis III will operate as the Patriots' top cornerbacks.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie exited in the third quarter and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. Golden finishes the game with just two catches for nine yards. Green Bay entered this week without
Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and lost both Golden and
Tucker Kraft (knee) mid-game, leaving the Packers short-staffed as they try to mount a comeback against the Panthers.
Christian Watson,
Romeo Doubs, and
Luke Musgrave will lead the receiving corps while
Savion Williams and
Malik Heath take on bigger depth roles. Golden will now have eight days to get healthy before the Packers' Week 10 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

Green Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He exited in the third quarter and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. Kraft finishes the game with just two catches for 20 yards. Green Bay entered this week without
Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and lost both Kraft and
Matthew Golden (shoulder) mid-game, leaving the Packers short-staffed as they try to mount a comeback against the Panthers.
Christian Watson and
Romeo Doubs will lead the receiving corps while
Luke Musgrave steps up as the top tight end. Kraft will now have eight days to get healthy before the Packers' Week 10 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

Cincinnati Bengals running back
Samaje Perine (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Chicago Bears. He had initially been listed as doubtful before being downgraded to out. Perine exited in the second quarter with just five rushing yards on his stat line.
Tahj Brooks will take over as the backup running back behind
Chase Brown. With the Bengals on bye in Week 10, Perine will have 14 days to get healthy before his next game.

Chicago Bears tight end
Cole Kmet (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He had initially been listed as questionable and entered concussion protocol before being downgraded to out. He finishes Sunday's game with just one catch for 10 yards. Kmet missed last week with a back injury, so it's safe to say the injury bug hasn't been doing him any favors lately.
Colston Loveland will step up as the Bears' primary tight end in his absence. Kmet could be at risk of missing next Sunday's Week 10 clash with the New York Giants if he doesn't clear concussion protocol within seven days.

Minnesota Vikings running back
Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Detroit Lions. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had 78 rushing yards on nine carries, as well as two catches for an additional 20 receiving yards. The veteran running back missed some time earlier this season due to injury, so it's unfortunate to see him back on the sideline with a new ailment. Jones' absence should put
Jordan Mason in the lead-back role, while
Zavier Scott handles backup duties.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught two of three targets for nine receiving yards. The rookie has been less productive than expected during his first NFL campaign, and now, his status is in doubt due to injury. Golden's absence could lead to more snaps for receivers such as
Savion Williams and
Malik Heath in a depth role behind
Christian Watson and
Romeo Doubs.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Rashid Shaheed (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity this past week. Shaheed is a big-play threat who has looked solid in his role as the No. 2 receiver behind
Chris Olave, despite New Orleans' offensive struggles this year. The 27-year-old ranks as the overall WR29 in PPR leagues with 39 catches, 431 receiving yards, and a pair of touchdowns. He had his best game of the season last week as he caught nine of 12 targets for 75 yards (plus a lost fumble). The Saints switched quarterbacks at halftime in Week 8, handing the offense from
Spencer Rattler to
Tyler Shough. Shough remains installed as the team's starter for Week 9, but it remains to be seen if or how the rookie can elevate Shaheed's game. For now, Shaheed continues to rank as a WR3/flex in most fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints running back
Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. The 30-year-old has been disappointing this season, amassing just 363 rushing yards, 147 receiving yards, and one touchdown through eight games. Even with
Kendre Miller (knee) sidelined, Kamara hasn't been able to carve out a major role within New Orleans' offense. He'll likely continue to play around 60 percent of the snaps with roughly a dozen touches against the Rams. His pass-catching skills give him low-end RB2 appeal in PPR leagues, but for the most part, he should be deployed as an RB3/flex.

Houston Texans quarterback
C.J. Stroud (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Denver Broncos. He was initially listed as questionable and entered concussion protocol before being downgraded to out. He finishes Sunday's game having completed six of 10 pass attempts for 79 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also picked up 12 rushing yards.
Davis Mills entered in his place and will remain the Texans' quarterback for the rest of Week 9. The Stanford product could also earn the start next week against the Jacksonville Jaguars if Stroud isn't able to clear concussion protocol within the next seven days.

New England Patriots wide receiver
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 9 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons with a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old was targeted once and did not record a catch before being forced to exit the game. With Boutte unable to return, Patriots wide receivers
Stefon Diggs,
Mack Hollins, and
DeMario Douglas could all see an uptick in targets. Additionally, rookie wideout
Kyle Williams could be in line for increased playing time. Boutte's three-game touchdown streak, which he carried heading into the week, will come to an end due to his injury

Green Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft (knee) is questionable to return to his team's Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers due to a knee injury, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kraft recorded two catches for 20 yards on three targets before getting injured. The 24-year-old entered Week 9 on a three-game touchdown streak, which now appears to be in jeopardy. If Kraft is unable to return,
John FitzPatrick and
Luke Musgrave are next in line to handle Green Bay's tight end snaps for the remainder of Week 9. Kraft is arguably his team's top receiving threat, so his absence would be a huge blow for the Packers' passing offense.

Chicago Bears tight end
Cole Kmet (concussion) left his team's Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals and is being evaluated for a concussion, according to Josh Buckhalter of Clocker Sports. Kmet recorded one catch for 10 yards on two targets before being forced to exit the game. If Kmet is unable to return, Bears rookie tight end
Colston Loveland would likely see the majority of the team's tight end work for the remainder of Week 9. With Kmet sidelined in Week 8 by a back injury, Loveland recorded three catches for 38 yards on a season-high five targets.

Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Joe Alt (ankle) is officially questionable to return to his team's Week 9 matchup against the Tennessee Titans due to an ankle injury. The injury appeared to be serious, as Alt was carted off the field. The 22-year-old already missed three games earlier this season due to a high-ankle sprain. Alt is considered one of the best tackles in the NFL, so his absence could be a major issue for Los Angeles. If Alt is unable to return, Foster Sarell could be forced into action at left tackle for the Chargers for the remainder of Week 9.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver
Xavier Legette (concussion) left his team's Week 9 matchup against the Green Bay Packers and is being evaluated for a concussion, per Darin Gantt of Panthers.com. Legette recorded one catch for 22 yards on two targets before getting injured. If Legette is unable to return, Panthers wideouts
Jimmy Horn Jr. and
Brycen Tremayne would both likely see an uptick in playing time. Top Carolina wide receivers
Tetairoa McMillan and
Jalen Coker could also see an uptick in target volume from quarterback
Bryce Young.
