Fantasy Football News

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.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. He was always a long shot to get cleared after being diagnosed with a concussion sometime after last weekend's game. Wilson should have a good chance to make it back for Week 10. His absence frees up 26.4% of Jets targets, boosting both Omar Cooper and Adonai Mitchell into our top-36 WRs.

Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) is out for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Bengals in Madrid. He returned to practice this week but either suffered a setback or isn’t quite ready yet. Khalil Herbert gets another game as Atlanta’s No. 2 RB behind workhorse Bijan Robinson.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence diced the Ravens for 9.3 yards per pass attempt in Thursday night's win. He found TE Nate Boerkircher deep downfield for 52 yards after extending a play on a rollout in the first quarter and later hit WR Parker Washington up the seam for a 50-yard catch-and-run TD. That put Jacksonville up 17 to 3 just before halftime, and the score never got closer. Lawrence threw just 11 passes in the second half of the easy win, finishing with an underwhelming 242-1-0 passing line.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (foot) returned to a full practice on Thursday. That puts him on track to play vs. the Bears on Sunday night for the first time since Week 6. Egbuka has played just three games with QB Baker Mayfield this season, posting 5-63-0, 3-16-1, and 5-62-0 lines. He checks in 24th in our Week 9 WR rankings.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We've been expecting him to play vs. the Raiders this weekend, and this should have him on track. We'll see how CMC is listed on Friday's final injury report.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) did not practice on Thursday. That follows a full workout on Wednesday. Nabers was spotted working off to the side today with trainers and said afterward that he'll "be good" for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles. We'll see if Nabers practices tomorrow and then how he's listed on the final injury report.

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (foot, ankle) is active for tonight's game vs. the Ravens. He didn't practice at all on the short week and was listed as questionable, but he evidently felt and looked good enough in pre-game warmups. Tuten obviously comes with elevated risk tonight, but the spot remains strong with the Jaguars 10-point favorites against the Joe Fagnano-led Ravens.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's looking like a long shot to play vs. the Eagles this weekend. His absence would leave Devin Singletary as New York's clear lead back. Gregory Desrosiers, an undrafted rookie, is the only other RB on the active roster. RBs Phil Mafah and Eric Gray are on the practice squad.
