Fantasy Football News

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (rib) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins. There’s been no indication that St. Brown is in danger of missing this one, but we’ll look for further updates and get Detroit’s inactives around 11:30 am ET Sunday.

Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. Both guys remained sidelined in practice all week. Philadelphia will again roll with WRs Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, and Hollywood Brown this weekend. Lemon is the top fantasy bet but comes with a low floor in QB Joe Milton’s first career start.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He was sidelined on Thursday but returned to a full practice on Friday. HC John Harbaugh said Friday afternoon that Nabers will be a full-go vs. the Eagles this weekend. He remains a must-start.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. Skattebo is clearly a long shot to play on Sunday, but we’ll keep you updated on his status. Skattebo’s absence would leave RB Devin Singletary in a high-volume role against Philadelphia’s 14th-ranked RB defense.

Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Packers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on Henry, but it’s safe to assume he won’t be 100% if he suits up on Sunday. His absence would leave rookie Eli Raridon as New England’s top TE.

Commanders WRs Treylon Burks (foot) and Dyami Brown (calf) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. With WR Terry McLaurin on IR, Washington is down to WRs Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Van Jefferson, and Luke McCaffrey. Diggs, Williams, and TE Chig Okonkwo are strong target bets this weekend.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bears. He put in full practices on Thursday and Friday, so we’re expecting Egbuka to play. But the late kickoff complicates the situation. We’ll look for an update on his status Sunday morning.

Packers WR Christian Watson (rib) was limited in practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. He broke a rib last week but returned to that game and will continue playing through it. It adds some in-game reinjury risk to his profile, but Watson would be nearly impossible to leave out of fantasy lineups. He sits sixth among WRs in PPR points per game.

Jets RB Breece Hall (quad) is off the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday, so that quad shouldn’t be an issue. It’s unclear exactly how backfield work will be divvied, though, after RB Braelon Allen’s strong recent play. Check your Team Dashboard to see if Hall or Allen belong in your starting lineup this week.

Saints RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) remained sidelined in practice all week. He was eligible to come off IR for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns but isn’t ready. RB C.J. Donaldson (shoulder, concussion) is also out for Week 9, leaving the backfield to Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, and Audric Estime. Kamara sits highest in the Week 9 RB rankings.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe, thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Buccaneers. His limited practice on Friday was his first since going down back in Week 4. We’d be a little surprised if Monangai played after just one practice coming off the lengthy absence, but we’ll look for further updates on his status. At minimum, he should be ready to go after Chicago's Week 10 bye.

Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. If he plays, we expect him to be on a snap count coming off the lengthy absence. Tyson shouldn’t be in Week 9 fantasy lineups but remains an exciting stash.

Browns TE Harold Fannin (groin) is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He was added on Thursday and remained limited in Friday’s practice, but he’s evidently in no danger of missing this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. We’ll look for any further updates, but Fannin seems relatively safe to keep in fantasy lineups.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Colts. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Ferguson hasn’t topped 23 receiving yards since Week 2 and shouldn’t be in your fantasy plans. His absence would leave Brevyn Spann-Ford as Dallas’ top TE.

Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He was in the same boat last week before playing against the Cardinals, but his route rate sank to a 68%. We're expecting Pickens to play this weekend, but he sits lower than usual in our Week 9 WR rankings.

Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (ankle) will play vs. the Commanders this weekend, HC Sean McVay said Friday. Ferguson has been out since Week 3 and might not be in a full-time role in his first game back. The matchup is excellent, though, against Washington’s league-worst TE defense. Ferguson would be a risky season-long start but is an intriguing play in daily tournaments.

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders will start this weekend’s game vs. the Saints, HC Todd Monken announced on Friday. QB Deshaun Watson (concussion) is listed as questionable after returning to practice on Friday, so he might be available for backup duties. Sanders completed just 57% of his passes at 6.6 yards per attempt as a rookie last year. We’re projecting him as a slight downgrade from Watson for Cleveland’s passing game.

Patriots WR A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. He didn’t practice all week and has no timetable for return from his knee trouble. Brown’s absence again leaves New England with WRs Demario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism, with WR Mack Hollins (calf) potentially coming off IR for Sunday’s game.

Cardinals RB Bam Knight (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. With RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) on IR, Arizona is down to RBs Tyler Allgeier and Evan Hull, with Jerome Ford on the practice squad. Allgeier should dominate work, landing him 25th in our Week 9 RB rankings, despite the tough matchup.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was hospitalized for "several days" with an "unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained neurological symptoms," he said in a statement. Tests have come back positive, but Henderson's strength, coordination, and physical functions have been impacted, Henderson added. We'll keep you updated on his status, but it doesn't sound like Henderson will be playing football again any time soon. He's droppable from most redraft rosters. Henderson's absence leaves Rhamondre Stevenson's as New England's lead back and Corey Kiner as the No. 2. Kiner is worth stashing as a handcuff.
