Bold Predictions for Week 9
Bold predictions are always meant to be taken with a grain of salt, but ideally, they are not a bunch of takes thrown like you-know-what at a wall with the hope of sticking. These predictions come with backing to make them somewhat substantiated with the obvious caveat that it's playing into a range of outcomes […]
Dak Prescott Has No Restrictions Against Denver
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) won't be limited on Sunday against Denver. The signal-caller didn't suit up during Sunday Night Football versus Minnesota in Week 9 because of a right calf strain. However, he is ready to go and will be going up against a Broncos defense without Von Miller for the first time […]
Sam Darnold Will Be Active, Might Not Start
Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold (concussion) has been cleared to play this week and will be active against the Patriots. However, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, there is still a legitimate possibility that Darnold does not start and instead backs up P.J. Walker. Regardless of Darnold's status, neither quarterback is worth starting in fantasy football […]
Drew Lock Will Be Inactive On Sunday
Denver Broncos backup quarterback Drew Lock has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys due to COVID-19 protocols. The 24-year-old has seen limited action this season, throwing 12 passes for 113 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception after Teddy Bridgewater suffered an injury in Week 4. Brett Rypien will serve as the Broncos' […]
Kyler Murray's Status Won't Be Clear Until Pre-Game Warmups
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) remains a true game-time decision, and there isn't a ton of optimism that he'll play in Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers. If you were looking for more clarity on his status overnight, you're out of luck. ESPN's Adam Schefter notes that Murray will be evaluated pregame before […]

Mitchell Trubisky Lands On COVID-19 List
The Buffalo Bills placed quarterback Mitchell Trubisky on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday.

Davis Webb is currently the only signal-caller […]
Ben Roethlisberger Will Play Monday
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder), who popped up on the team's injury report on Friday with a shoulder injury, will play on Monday night against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. Big Ben was taken off the final injury report on Saturday after getting in a full practice, […]
Tyrod Taylor Officially Activated, Will Start Against Miami
The Houston Texans officially activated quarterback Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, and he is in line to start in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins. Taylor's return means rookie Davis Mills will head back to the bench. In a corresponding move, linebacker Christian Kirksey (thumb) was placed on IR after having thumb […]
Sam Darnold Clears Concussion Protocol, Still Questionable
Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) has cleared the league's concussion protocol, but he remains questionable due to a shoulder injury and is expected to be a game-time decision in Week 9 against the New England Patriots. Darnold got off to a decent start in his first season in Carolina, but he's looked much more […]
Kyler Murray Won't Play If He Can't Play At High Level In Pocket
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle), who will be a game-time decision in Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers, will not play on Sunday unless he can function at a "high level" from the pocket, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Murray's left ankle sprain has been progressing, but he didn't practice all week. […]
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Blake Bortles Active For Sunday
The Green Bay Packers will get back wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, while quarterback Blake Bortles will also be on the active roster after having been elevated from the practice squad. Valdes-Scantling has been sidelined since Week 3, with his return giving Green Bay roughly a complete version of […]
Browns Put Jack Conklin On Injured Reserve

Trevor Lawrence - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football
