The 49ers placed WR Christian Kirk (knee) on injured reserve on Saturday. 49ers WR Demarcus Robinson was activated off injured reserve and takes the roster spot created by Kirk's move. The team also elevated WR KhaDarel Hodge, a core special-teamer, from the practice squad.

Dolphins QB Malik Willis, who has been dealing with a groin injury for the last couple of weeks, was a full participant in practice all week and was not given a game status on Friday's final injury report for Sunday's game against the Lions. Asked whether the injury made him reluctant to run in last Sunday's loss to the Patriots, Willis said, "I think that's just how the game played out. I'm not sure that had anything to do with it really."

The Falcons placed RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) on injured reserve on Saturday. In a corresponding move, the team signed RB Khalil Herbert to the active roster from the practice squad. Robinson had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals in Madrid.

The Saints activated rookie WR Jordyn Tyson on Saturday. Tyson, a first-round pick, had been on injured reserve with a hamstring injury and was listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Browns. The Saints also activated OT Kelvin Banks Jr. on Saturday.

The Dolphins elevated RB Carlos Washington Jr. to the active roster on Saturday for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Lions. The beat writer noted that the move could signal that either RB Jaylen Wright or rookie RB Kaytron Allen won't be able to go. Wright and Allen are both questionable for Sunday with quadriceps injuries.

The Cardinals elevated RB Jerome Ford from the practice squad on Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at Seattle. Ford will serve as the No. 3 running back, with RB Tyler Allgeier in his normal RB1 spot and RB Evan Hull serving as his backup.

Patriots WR Mack Hollins was activated from injured reserve on Saturday and is expected to play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Hollins missed four games with a calf injury suffered in the second half of a Week 4 win over the Bills. He led the Patriots in receptions (15) and receiving yards (209) through the first four weeks, and assuming he plays his usual workload, he will likely move into the top 'X' receiver role. Hollins joins DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III as the team's available wideouts, with WR A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) ruled out and WR Romeo Doubs (shoulder) on injured reserve.

Vikings WR Jauan Jennings (calf) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Bills. Jennings was injured in Thursday's practice. The Vikings will consider elevating a wide receiver, possibly Odell Beckham Jr., for Monday night.
| Footballguys view: Carson Wentz is the starting quarterback for the Vikings on Monday night against the Bills. We expect Wentz to fire plenty of passes towards Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. That doesn't leave much for anyone else behind those two. We've got Jefferson as a WR1 and Addison as a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 9. |
Jauan Jennings player page
Bills WR Joshua Palmer (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday night's game at the Vikings. Palmer did not practice all week after leaving last week's game with the injury. Head coach Joe Brady said Palmer is not a candidate for injured reserve at this point.
| Footballguys view: This hamstring injury has bothered Palmer (to various degrees) since Week 4. Perhaps shutting him down for Week 9 will give him the time he needs to return to the field without an aggravation. Last week, Palmer played just seven snaps before this hamstring injury forced him out of action. |

Bills WR DJ Moore does not carry an injury designation and is good to go for Monday night's game at the Vikings.
| Footballguys view: Moore had practiced in a red non-contact jersey on Friday after a knee scare late in the Week 8 win over the Ravens. He's ready to go for Monday night's game againt the Vikings. We like Moore in the WR2/flex range (PPR formats) for Fantasy GMs in Week 9. |
DJ Moore player page
Commanders DT Jer'Zhan Newton (pectoral) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Rams. His 21-day practice window opened last week, but he was not activated for last Sunday's game against the Eagles. Newton was a full participant in practice this week and should make his return Sunday. He rejoins a defense that just lost both of its starting defensive tackles to season-ending injuries that required surgery this week.

The Saints released RB Kendre Miller on Saturday. The fourth-year back had been part of the backfield rotation with Alvin Kamara, and earlier this season head coach Kellen Moore said Kamara and Miller 'will handle that load' after Travis Etienne Jr. went to injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The Saints added Audric Estime to their practice squad again earlier this week. Miller had been part of the RB rotation with Kamara, but now he finds himself looking for another team. It shouldn't take long for someone to pick him up despite his 'meh' performances for the Saints. |
Kendre Miller player page
Vikings WR Jauan Jennings (calf) was not seen at practice on Saturday, after also not being seen at Friday's practice. Two straight sessions without practicing would make him "very unlikely" to play in Monday night's game against the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Jennings has been the subject of trade rumors with teams like the Rams and Steelers in the wide receiver market. He's not playing in Week 9, but Jennings might still be dealt on or before Tuesday's trade deadline. |

Browns QB Deshaun Watson has cleared the concussion protocol. He remains questionable for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Saints.
| Footballguys view: Watson (concussion) will not start in Week 9 against the Saints. Instead, the team is turning to Shedeur Sanders as their starting quarterback. Now that he's through the league protocol, Watson could be the backup to Sanders on Sunday. |
Deshaun Watson player page
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson plans to make his NFL debut on Sunday against the Browns. Tyson, the No. 8 overall pick, has yet to play this season because of a hamstring injury but "should be good to go" for New Orleans. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game on Friday's injury report.
| Footballguys view: Tyson gets to make his NFL debut in Week 9, and we're excited to see what the talented rookie can do. A top-10 pick, Tyson was one of the most dynamic receivers in this draft class. We could see a snap count for Tyson as the team eases him into action. We've got Tyson as a 'what the heck' flex in Week 9, but he could have plenty of flex appeal if/when near full strength and a full role as the no.2 receiver opposite Chris Olave. |
Jordyn Tyson player page
The Rams activated DE Myles Garrett from injured reserve on Saturday. Garrett will play in Sunday's Week 9 game at the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Garrett gets to play alongside Aaron Donald for the first time this season. Good luck to the Commanders as that duo should give opponents nightmares on a weekly basis. This season has not been smooth for the 4-4 Rams, but now they have one of their best defenders back and are looking to make a run to get into the playoff hunt. |
Myles Garrett player page
Bills WR Khalil Shakir was spotted at practice on Saturday after not practicing on Friday. Shakir missed Friday's session for a personal reason. The Bills visit the Vikings on Monday night.
| Footballguys view: Shakir is good to go for Monday night's game against the Vikings. With this matchup, Shakir is in the WR4 range for Fantasy GMs in Week 9. |

The Steelers are among the teams in the wide receiver market ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, with Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts WR Josh Downs the "two key names," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. "I expect one or both to be moved," Fowler wrote, naming Kansas City, Pittsburgh and San Francisco among the teams in the market and adding that Titans WR Calvin Ridley "is considered a backup option for teams."
| Footballguys view: A move for a wide receiver would make sense. The Steelers are trying to make one final run with Aaron Rodgers this year, and his pass-catchers could easily be upgraded from what he currently has. Pittsburgh has WRs Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson on injured reserve, and WR DK Metcalf ranks 22nd in the NFL in catches and 26th in receiving yards. |

Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel said he will call plays from the coaches' box instead of the sideline during Sunday's Week 9 game against the Texans. "I want to try [to] call plays from the box to kind of see adjustments for myself and communicate to the position coaches appropriately what things we can focus on between series," McDaniel said, and head coach Jim Harbaugh said he is "all for it." The 0-7 Chargers haven't scored a touchdown since Oct. 11 and are averaging an NFL-low 14.1 points per game, while QB Justin Herbert has an NFL-worst 10 interceptions. McDaniel last called plays from the box as the 49ers' offensive coordinator in 2021.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers are trying to find answers for their awful offense. We'll see how long the McDaniel/Herbert combination can stay together because this outcome is worse than anyone ever thought was possible. Against the Texans in Week 9, Herbert is a QB3 for Fantasy GMs. |
Justin Herbert player page
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who is on injured reserve, has not yet had surgery on his right thumb. There are "a few variables at play," but a return is still possible this season. There will be no contract discussions until after the season, and the Ravens want Jackson long term.
| Footballguys view: Palmer reports that the Ravens are willing to make Jackson the highest-paid player in NFL history. Jackson has a ton of leverage in this situation with an $84 million cap hit in 2027, no-trade clause, and no-franchise tag clause in his contract. The Ravens will keep the window open for a Jackson return with the newly acquired Jacoby Brissett under center. Their 4-5 record keeps them at the bottom of the AFC North at this time - clearly outside the playoff picture. |
Lamar Jackson player page
The Ravens waived QB Austin Reed and finalized the terms of their trade for QB Jacoby Brissett from the Cardinals on Friday. Reed had been signed to the 53-man roster on Thursday after Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley were placed on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The move we all knew about is finally official. Brissett steps in to take over for Joe Fagnano after his lone start against the Jaguars on Thursday night. In Week 10, the Ravens are at home to take on the hapless Chargers. Brissett provides an upgrade for the Ravens at the quarterback position, stabilizing the fantasy value of the passing game. |
Austin Reed player page
Seahawks QB Drew Lock will start Sunday against the Cardinals, head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed on Friday, even though Lock has been dealing with a right elbow injury. Macdonald said Seattle managed Lock's throwing this week out of precaution because of the elbow. QB Sam Darnold (quad) will be out, and second-year QB Jalen Milroe will back up Lock.
| Footballguys view: Lock stepped in for Darnold earlier this season and led wins over the Patriots and Cardinals, throwing four touchdowns with no interceptions and completing 72.9% of his passes. The severe tendinities Lock has could flare up at any time. Fantasy GMs in deeper leagues can stash Milroe just in case. |
Jalen Milroe player page
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor's suitors include the Giants and Vikings, whom The Athletic's Jonathan Jones believes are the favorites to convince Indianapolis to trade him. Jones said he was told the Colts have already rejected an offer of a second- and fifth-round pick for Taylor.
| Footballguys view: The Vikings, Giants, and Broncos all seem to have interest in the superstar running back. There could be a bidding war going on right now, but who knows what price tag would make the Colts interested in a trade. Taylor immediately makes the team he lands on a Super Bowl contender, and those three teams are looking to separate themselves from the pack of potential playoff teams in their respective conferences. Stay tuned. |
Jonathan Taylor player page
Seahawks QB Drew Lock has been battling severe tendinitis in his throwing elbow. Lock looked good in limited practice reps and will start Sunday against the Cardinals in place of the injured Sam Darnold. Lock is set for free agency in March.
| Footballguys view: Lock is battling through this injury, so he's not quite himself in Week 9. That being said, Lock knows how to feed Jaxon Smith-Njigba - and that's a great start for any quarterback with the Seahawks. Jalen Milroe backs up Lock in Week 9, so he's one play away from getting on the field. |
Drew Lock player page
Vikings QB Kyler Murray is rehabbing a Grade 2 hamstring strain that will keep him out of Monday night's game against the Bills "and potentially beyond." Head coach Kevin O'Connell ruled Murray out for Monday's game on Thursday, with QB Carson Wentz set to start against Buffalo.
| Footballguys view: Wentz is the starter for Monday's game against the Bills. The NFL trade deadline is coming up on Tuesday, and Adam Schefter has alerted all NFL fans to be mindful of the Vikings quarterback situation. We'll see if they make a move for someone like Daniel Jones. |
Kyler Murray player page
The Colts have received calls on QB Daniel Jones ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Indianapolis has told interested teams that it is not trading him.
| Footballguys view: The Colts insist they are not trading Jones, but they could be just playing hardball here. Adam Schefter keeps dropping hints about the Vikings adding a quarterback, and Jones has previous experience working under Kevin O'Connell (2024). Deals get done at deadlines, and the NFL trade deadline is on Tuesday. Jones is set to start for the Colts in Week 9, but he may not be on the roster too long after that. He also may not be the starter much longer if he does stay with the Colts due to the injury guarantees on his contract for 2027. |
Daniel Jones player page
The Browns are positioned as buyers ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline and have looked at adding a rotational edge rusher and perhaps a blocking tight end, Albert Breer reported. A blocking tight end "would free them up to move Harold Fannin Jr. around even more," according to Breer. Head coach Todd Monken hasn't used many extra offensive linemen in the blocking tight end role, leaving Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. or receivers like WR Malachi Corley to step in there.
| Footballguys view: Fannin is already one of the most productive tight ends in the league. Adding a blocking tight end to move him around would only make Fannin even more dangerous. With Shedeur Sanders under center against the Saints on Sunday, we should see Fannin post TE1 numbers for Fantasy GMs out there. |
Harold Fannin Jr. player page
The Broncos have checked in around the league on tight ends, going so far as to inquire about Cardinals TE Trey McBride ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The Cardinals made it "very clear they have zero intention of trading McBride." McBride is from Fort Morgan, Colorado, and played college football at Colorado State.
| Footballguys view: McBride means a lot to the Cardinals, and it's not a surprise they're not going to trade him. The Broncos need a 'joker' tight end, and Sean Payton would be over the moon to have a talent like McBride. We'll see if someone like Dallas Goedert ends up in Denver before Tuesday's trade deadline. The Broncos are looking for a tight end and running back help via the trade market. Broncos GM George Paton is somewhat conservative, but he's going to be active when it comes to working the phones to make a deal. |
Trey McBride player page
The Giants inquired about Ravens RB Justice Hill ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Schefter also reported that the Ravens are not expected to trade RB Derrick Henry before the deadline. Baltimore is not expected to sell at the deadline, with QB Jacoby Brissett starting while QB Lamar Jackson is on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The Giants are looking for help at the position with Cam Skattebo (hamstring) banged up and Tyrone Tracy on IR. Hill was the back they wanted, but the Ravens aren't sellers (even though perhaps they should be). Hill rushed nine times for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' Week 9 loss to the Jaguars, adding seven yards on three receptions. He'd be more fantasy relevant if the Giants did trade for him than he is as a backup behind Henry. Stay tuned. |
Justice Hill player page
The Colts have received calls from multiple teams inquiring about trading for QB Daniel Jones and have engaged in trade discussions involving him, sources told ESPN and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The interest comes alongside trade inquiries the Colts have received about RB Jonathan Taylor.
| Footballguys view: Tom Pelissero is reporting the Colts have told teams they're not trading Jones. That could be real, or it could be the Colts just playing hardball to get the most in return. It's speculation that Jones would be of interest to the Vikings, as he's got experience with the team under HC Kevin O'Connell (2024). The Colts are selling, but Jones is their starter for now. Once they're out of playoff contention, Jones could find his way to the bench with the injury guarantees on his contract for 2027. |
Daniel Jones player page
Ravens RB Derrick Henry is not expected to be traded before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, league sources said. The decision comes as the Ravens are reeling.
| Footballguys view: Henry sounded frustrated after Thursday night's loss to the Jaguars, but reports have constantly indicated the Ravens have no intent to trade the future Hall of Fame running back. The market is there for Jonathan Taylor and perhaps even for Tony Pollard, but at this time it seems like Henry is staying in Baltimore. |
Derrick Henry player page
The Giants believe the bye week should have helped QB J.J. McCarthy, who is now fully caught up after being traded to New York in late September. McCarthy, who is making his second start for the Giants on Sunday against the Eagles, expects Eagles DC Vic Fangio to make him "earn it."
| Footballguys view: Fangio is one of the best defensive coordinators in NFL history, so we're certain he'll show McCarthy stuff he hasn't seen yet. McCarthy has looked good for the Giants, and he gets a chance to further prove himself the rest of the season. For Week 9, we've got him as a low-end QB2 in this matchup. |

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson's broken ribs "weren't gonna keep him from practicing or playing," according to a Friday report ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game at the Seahawks. Wilson was limited in Friday's practice, which the team listed as a rest day. He said after last Sunday's win over the Cowboys that he has two broken ribs.
