Texans | Dalton Schultz productive Week 9 vs. the Broncos Sun Nov 2, 07:48 PM
Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz snagged six of eight targets for 77 yards in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: When the Texans offense is struggling, the numbers come for Schultz. Well, at least the reception numbers - he actually had a 47-yard catch and run before CJ Stroud left with a concussion. Schultz should be a hot waiver wire pickup this week for teams that lost Tucker Kraft. |

Panthers | Xavier Legette able to finish game Sun Nov 2, 07:43 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette (concussion) finished with just one catch and 22 yards on three targets in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. He left the game to be checked for concussion, but he was able to return and finish up.
Link to story Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan targeted six times Sun Nov 2, 07:38 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan ended up with four receptions for a team-best 46 yards on six targets in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers.
| Footballguys view: McMillan's weekly ceiling isn't going to be as high as long as Rico Dowdle is carrying the offense and finishing most of the touchdown drives. The rookie #1 receiver is still a WR3/Flex play with upside against an easier opponent when the Saints come to Charlotte next week. |
Texans | Woody Marks runs for modest 27 yards Sun Nov 2, 07:38 PM
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks carried 10 times for 27 yards in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: Marks left briefly with a possible injury and later returned to the game, but we'll have to monitor the practice reports to know if it affects his status for next week's game against the Jaguars. The Texans offense took a step back after CJ Stroud left with a concussion. If Stroud is out for Week 10, Marks is only a desperation play. |
Broncos | Nick Chubb ineffective against Broncos Sun Nov 2, 07:34 PM
Houston Texans RB Nick Chubb carried 11 times for 34 yards in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: Chubb was unsuccessful on a first and goal carry and then the team curiously went to British Brooks on the subsequent goal to go carries during that drive. Chubb is just a desperation play going forward and not an essential hold as we head down the stretch run of the fantasy football regular season. |

Panthers | Rico Dowdle impressive in Week 9 win Sun Nov 2, 07:18 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle rushed 25 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, and he added two receptions for 11 yards on three targets.
| Footballguys view: Dowdle left the game briefly after limping to the sideline, but showed no ill effects from the issue for the remainder of the game. Head coach Dave Canales did not install any form of a committee in this one, making Dowdle the clear lead back, and Dowdle responded with a dominant game on the ground the way he did in his two previous starts. Dowdle is a borderline RB1 and must play against the Saints in Week 10. |

Broncos | Troy Franklin hauls in four passes Sun Nov 2, 07:14 PM
Denver Broncos WR Troy Franklin caught four of a season high-tying 10 targets for 27 yards in Week 9 against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: Franklin also caught the game-tying two point conversion in the fourth quarter. The Texans have one of the best defenses in the league, so the low output might not be as important as the heavy target load for Franklin. He's a viable WR3/Flex against the Raiders on Thursday. |
Panthers | Bryce Young held to just 102 passing yards Sun Nov 2, 07:14 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 11-of-20 passes for 102 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, while running twice for nine yards.

Broncos | Courtland Sutton finds end zone for fourth time Sun Nov 2, 07:07 PM
Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton caught just one of six targets, but it was a 30-yard touchdown, in Week 9 against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: If you're going to catch only one ball, a touchdown from 30 yards out is not a bad single catch. Sutton roasted Derek Stingley Jr., who maybe was expecting safety help on the deep ball. Sutton should have more production on Thursday against the Raiders. |

Broncos | RJ Harvey snags touchdown reception Sun Nov 2, 07:05 PM
Denver Broncos RB RJ Harvey rushed for five yards on two carries and caught all five targets for 51 yards and a 27-yard touchdown in Week 9 against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: Harvey came through as a flex as the Broncos were in pass mode in the second half trying to make up a deficit against the tough Texans defense. He's not going to hit his ceiling as long as JK Dobbins stays healthy, but Harvey has put up good fantasy numbers in a small role for two straight weeks now. |

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs posted three receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown on four targets in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. On the TD, he became the 29th player in NFL history with at least 900 career receptions, and he is the fifth-fastest player in NFL history to hit the milestone, doing so in 153 games.

Steelers | Disappointing game for DK Metcalf Sun Nov 2, 06:50 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf caught two passes for six yards against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. He was targeted four times during the game.
| Footballguys view: We'll forgive Metcalf for his dud as the Steelers played with the lead for most of the game. He did get some red zone targets and should still be in lineups as a WR3/Flex against the Chargers in Week 10. |

Broncos | Bo Nix throws for two scores and leads another comeback Sun Nov 2, 06:48 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 18-of-37 for 173 yards with two touchdowns and an interception and rushed for 36 yards on three carries in Week 9 against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: Nix had multiple rough stretches against one of the best defenses in the league, but he once again saved his best play for the fourth quarter and led his team to another stirring comeback victory. He wasn't a bad play in a tough matchup, which makes him a good play in an easier matchup against the Raiders on Thursday. |

Patriots | Hunter Henry secures four receptions Sun Nov 2, 06:42 PM
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry ended up with four receptions for 51 yards on six targets in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons.
| Footballguys view: Henry has been quiet in fantasy circles after a strong start, but he was trusted on some of the biggest plays of this game for the Patriots, including the game-clinching first down. He's a good waiver wire target for teams that lost Tucker Kraft in Week 9. |

New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas posted four receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. He opened the scoring Sunday with a 17-yard touchdown in the first quarter.
| Footballguys view: Douglas also had a 58-yard catch and run to set up another touchdown. Kayshon Boutte left with a hamstring injury, so we should expect him to miss at least a week, which makes Douglas a possible pickup in deeper leagues after he made good on his increased opportunity in Week 9. |

Patriots | Terrell Jennings scores TD in Week 9 Sun Nov 2, 06:31 PM
New England Patriots RB Terrell Jennings rushed 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons, while adding a 9-yard catch on his only target.
| Footballguys view: Jennings could be a waiver addition in deep leagues after he was the preferred short yardage option over TreVeyon Henderson, which allowed him to get the rushing touchdown in the win. We'll see if Rhamondre Stevenson is ready to play for Week 10, but if he isn't Jennings is still probably only a desperation play against a very strong Bucs run defense. |
Bears | Rome Odunze shut out in Week 9 Sun Nov 2, 06:31 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze had no receptions on three targets in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
| Footballguys view: Odunze had a drop in the end zone, but more importantly, he just wasn't a frequent target on a day when the Bears scored 47 points. No one has had a more boom/bust scoring profile week-to-week in fantasy football. It's really hard to bench Odunze, but since the bye he hasn't been a big play except when the Bears were trailing Ravens for most of the second half. He's closer to a WR3 than a WR1 going into a matchup with the Giants. |
Steelers | Kenneth Gainwell more involved as receiver Sun Nov 2, 06:29 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kenneth Gainwell caught four passes for 35 yards on five targets against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. He also rushed for negative one yard on three carries during the game.

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson leads backfield in Week 9 Sun Nov 2, 06:28 PM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson registered 14 carries for a game-high 55 yards in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons, and he added four receptions for 32 yards on six targets.
| Footballguys view: Henderson was more effective than Terrell Jennings, and he got off to a hot start, but the Patriots went with a committee backfield and Jennings got the one rushing touchdown, so Henderson was a mere flex play with Rhamondre Stevenson sitting. Next week brings a tough matchup against the Bucs run defense and Henderson didn't do enough in this game to be a strong Week 10 play, even if Stevenson is out again. |
Steelers | Kaleb Johnson limited to two touches Sun Nov 2, 06:26 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson rushed for four yards on one carry against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. He also caught one pass for nine yards during the game.
Link to story Bears | DJ Moore throws and runs for scores. Sun Nov 2, 06:24 PM
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore caught four of six targets for 72 yards, scored a rushing touchdown and threw a scoring pass in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
| Footballguys view: Moore finally posted a fantasy outcome commensurate with his considerable talent, but it took a trick play and a review that the Bengals asked for because they thought a play where Moore was marked down at the one was actually a fumble into the end zone for a touchback. Instead, it was ruled a touchdown upon review. This should be Moore's best fantasy game of the season, but his outlook is brighter going forward with his versatile abilities and a more confident quarterback. |

Steelers | Two touchdowns for Jaylen Warren Sun Nov 2, 06:22 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren rushed for 31 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. He also caught two passes for negative two yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Warren had a good fantasy game even though he couldn't get anything going on the ground against the Colts run defense. Five Daniel Jones turnovers set up the Steelers with a lot of short fields, and Warren was able to finish two drives to help fantasy teams in Week 9. He's a boom/bust RB2 against the Chargers next week. |
Vikings | Aaron Jones has AC joint sprain Sun Nov 2, 06:22 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder) said Sunday, Nov. 2 after the Week 9 game against the Detroit Lions that he has a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, but he was hopeful it would not cost him any time.
| Footballguys view: Jones was the clear lead back ahead of Jordan Mason and was at 98 total yards on only nine carries and two receptions before leaving the game. Jordan Mason would become the starter again if Jones can't play against the Ravens next week. Zavier Scott is the third string back and the Vikings also have Cam Akers on the practice squad. |

Colts | Tyler Warren catches five passes Sun Nov 2, 06:08 PM
Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren caught five passes for 26 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. He was targeted seven times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Warren was the only underachiever in the Colts garbage time fueled passing game in the loss at Pittsburgh. He should bounce back next week against a Falcons defense that gave up multiple big catches to Patriots tight ends in Week 9. |
Bears | Kyle Monangai runs wild against the Bengals Sun Nov 2, 06:07 PM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai rushed for 176 yards on 26 carries in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He added 22 yards catching three of five targets.
| Footballguys view: Start everyone against the Bengals defense, but especially start tight ends and running backs. Monangai got stronger as the game went on and showed the endurance and staying power to be a lead back. The Bears can take their take with D'Andre Swift's return after seeing this performance, and Monangai certainly made a statement about being a part of this team's long term plans with this big game. |
Packers | Team fears Tucker Kraft has torn ACL Sun Nov 2, 06:06 PM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) left the Week 9 game against the Carolina Panthers due to a knee injury, and the team fears it is a torn anterior cruciate ligament, which would end his season, according to NFL beat writer Mike Silver.
| Footballguys view: Kraft was trying to make a block and banged into a teammate who was engaged with a Bengals defender. He grabbed at his knee as soon as he went to the ground and had to be carted to the locker room. Time to go back to the drawing board for teams that had been enjoying Kraft's production as the #1 tight end in fantasy football going into Week 9. Luke Musgrave replaced him and he is one of the potential pickups if you need to replace Kraft. |
