Baltimore Ravens defensive back Jaire Alexander was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. In exchange, the Ravens will receive a 2026 sixth-round pick for Alexander and a seventh-round selection. The two-time Pro Bowl defensive back has only played in two games for the Ravens this season. Due to injuries, Alexander hasn't played a full season since the 2022 campaign with the Green Bay Packers. The former first-round pick isn't the same player he once was, but can still contribute on defense. He figures to play an immediate role in Philly with their secondary banged up at the moment.

Denver Broncos tight end
Marcedes Lewis has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Houston Texans. Lewis joined the practice squad earlier in the week and is now on the active roster a few days later. The Broncos are banged up at tight end and could use another body for this weekend. The 41-year-old is unlikely to do much in terms of receiving as he hasn't hauled in more than six receptions in a single season since 2022. Lewis figures to be mainly a blocking option, so he'll be off the fantasy radar.

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.

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 wide receiver
CeeDee Lamb turned in another solid performance in Week 8 against a tough Denver defense, hauling in seven of 10 targets for 74 yards. Even in a difficult matchup, Lamb continued to operate as
Dak Prescott's clear top option, maintaining his strong target share. The Cowboys now face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, a defense that ranks 10th in passing yards allowed per game (234.9). This matchup presents an opportunity for the Dallas passing attack to find more success through the air. Lamb has proven to be one of the most reliable fantasy wideouts when healthy.Fantasy managers should continue to view Lamb as a high-end WR1 heading into Week 9. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the No. 4 wide receiver for the week.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) is officially listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Jonathan Gannon announced Saturday that
Jacoby Brissett will start again at quarterback on Monday night and that Murray could have a role. What that role will be exactly is unclear, but Murray doesn't seem to be quite back to 100% as he works his way back from a sprained foot in Arizona's Week 5 loss to the Titans. The 28-year-old was limited in practice this week, and he'll aim to return in Week 10 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.
