Browns QB Shedeur Sanders will start Sunday's Week 9 game at the Saints with QB Deshaun Watson in the concussion protocol, Daniel Oyefusi reported. The start is "not a trade showcase," as the Browns have no plans to deal Sanders at the deadline.

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.

Rams DE Myles Garrett (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 9 game at the Commanders barring any setbacks, head coach Sean McVay said on Friday. Garrett did not practice Friday, but McVay said "it's more of just being smart with him," adding that Garrett "has progressed really well, made a tremendous impact in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, feels really comfortable with the game plan." McVay said the team is "still working through" how much Garrett will play on Sunday.

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) was a full participant in practice on Friday. He did not receive a game status for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

49ers WR Demarcus Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Friday. Robinson has been on injured reserve with the ankle injury and was designated to return.
| Footballguys view: Robinson practiced all week, albeit in a limited capacity. And the 49ers could desperately use him. Even after the bye, Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. still can't return. De'Zhaun Stribling and Ricky Pearsall remain on IR. Christian Kirk injured himself in practice this week. If active, Robinson has legitimate WR1 upside and a decent floor. If he can't go, expect Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins to pick up whatever scraps don't go to George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey. |
Demarcus Robinson player page
49ers WR Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) will not play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Friday. Evans did not participate in practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Evans played through a minor Achilles injury and unfortunately aggravated the injury, which has kept him out of action since Week 6. There was hope that Evans could heal up during the bye week, but it looks like that didn't do the trick. Deebo Samuel Sr., Demarcus Robinson, and Christian Kirk are also dealing with injuries, while De'Zhaun Stribling and Ricky Pearsall remain on IR. The 49ers are hurting right now, and Evans will hope to return next week. |
Mike Evans player page
The Rams updated TE Terrance Ferguson's status for Sunday's game at the Commanders to out with ankle and hamstring injuries on Friday. Earlier on Friday, Ferguson had been expected to play.
| Footballguys view: Just three hours after ESPN reported that Ferguson would make his return from IR this week, he's been declared out. He reportedly suffered a hamstring injury in Friday's practice. He's worth a stash in deep leagues. And assuming he's back next week, he'll be in the streaming discussion. But managers who have been holding him will need to wait at least one more week, and maybe more. |
Terrance Ferguson player page
49ers WR Christian Kirk injured the meniscus in his knee earlier this week and has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders. The 49ers are unsure whether he will require surgery.
| Footballguys view: Kirk returned from IR before the bye but reinjured himself in practice. He's droppable in all formats. |
Christian Kirk player page
49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders. Samuel was called "unlikely to play" on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Samuel couldn't even make it back to practice this week. He hopes to return next week, as the 49ers could desperately use some healthy pass-catchers. |
Deebo Samuel Sr. player page
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) has no injury designation and is good to go for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders. McCaffrey did not practice Wednesday before returning to practice Thursday and Friday.
| Footballguys view: As expected, McCaffrey will play this week. Start him as a high-end RB1. |
Christian McCaffrey player page
Seahawks DT Leonard Williams will miss Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a stinger, head coach Mike Macdonald announced on Friday. Seattle will also be without QB Sam Darnold (quad), WR Rashid Shaheed (knee), LT Charles Cross (ankle), DE Uchenna Nwosu (ankle) and DE Brandon Pili (back) for the Week 9 matchup.
Link to storyLeonard Williams player page
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe/thumb), who has missed four consecutive games, was a limited participant in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers. The beat writer considers it "still unlikely he plays" since Friday was his first work in a month. With RB Zavier Scott placed on injured reserve earlier this week and only D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson healthy at running back on the 53-man roster, the beat writer expects RB Salvon Ahmed to be elevated from the practice squad for the game.
| Footballguys view: The Bears have a bye next week, so don't be surprised if Monangai sits again. It's good that he finally returned to the practice field, but the Bears have deep playoff aspirations, and rushing Monangai back invites more risk than reward. If Monangai is active, he risks a limited role or reinjury, making him a shaky RB3. If he's out, start D'Andre Swift as a steady RB1 and Roschon Johnson as a touchdown-dependent RB3. |
Kyle Monangai player page
Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Shaheed did not participate in practice on Friday. He also missed Monday night's game against the Bears with the knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Shaheed has been mostly a non-factor this year, and any beneficiary from his absence will likely be the same. Tory Horton should theoretically get some opportunities in Week 9, but this offense runs through Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the running backs, making all secondary receivers expendable in fantasy. |
Rashid Shaheed player page
Rams DE Myles Garrett has no injury status designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders and is good to go. Garrett had been on track to be activated from injured reserve ahead of the Week 9 matchup after returning to practice on Wednesday.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Friday that WR Pat Bryant has had a good week of practice. Asked whether it was good enough for Bryant to be activated from injured reserve, Payton said: "Yes." Bryant, on IR with an ankle injury since early October, returned to practice on Wednesday and was a full participant on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Pat Bryant was staking a claim to be the team's secondary receiver, seemingly taking the job from Courtland Sutton. Payton likes to play everyone on the depth chart, which makes it a tad frustrating to start any of the Broncos receivers. However, Bryant is a must-roster player in all formats, as he showed some serious upside early this season before his ankle injury. He's a risky start this week, but fantasy managers will have more confidence playing him after the bye based on his performance and usage. |
Pat Bryant player page
Lions RB Sione Vaki (ankle) is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Vaki handled a season-high 12 touches last week but unfortunately left the game with an ankle injury. He's not someone you'd rely on in fantasy, and his workload hardly impacts Jahmyr Gibbs. However, if he misses time, it will be worth seeing who the Lions call up as the backup, as that player may have some injury-away upside. |
Sione Vaki player page
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins with a rib injury. He was limited in practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Few players are as tough as St. Brown, and he'll assuredly do whatever he can to play this weekend. Luckily, the Lions and Dolphins play early, so we'll know by 11:30 a.m. ET whether he is active or not. Assuming he goes, you can't bench him. If he's out, Jameson Williams will become a plug-and-play WR1. |
Amon-Ra St. Brown player page
Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) has no injury designation for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Eagles. Nabers looked to be moving well at practice on Friday, and the beat writer said not to expect any limitations for him.
| Footballguys view: A midweek DNP is typically concerning, but Nabers and the Giants have downplayed it, and his return to practice on Friday is a good sign. Nabers' 2025 season ended with an ACL tear, and he complicated his health with an early-season shoulder injury. However, he's played through both and looked like his old self the last few weeks. Start him as a WR1. |
Malik Nabers player page
Commanders WR Dyami Brown has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Rams, the team announced on its Friday injury report. Brown suffered a calf injury in Thursday's practice that the Commanders are concerned about. WR Treylon Burks (foot) has also been ruled out, thinning a receiver corps that already lost Terry McLaurin for the season.
Link to storyDyami Brown player page
Giants RB Cam Skattebo is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Eagles due to a hamstring injury. Skattebo worked on the side with a trainer on Thursday and was in uniform but did not appear to do much at Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: There was hope that Skattebo would heal during the bye, but he's struggling to get back on the field after injuring his hamstring on a game-winning breakaway run a couple of weeks ago. In his absence, expect Devin Singletary to handle the bulk of the work. |
Cam Skattebo player page
The Commanders have ruled WR Treylon Burks (foot) out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Rams. Burks missed practice on Thursday and was not seen at Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Burks' young career has been a mix of highlights and injuries. He showed some flashes in Week 8, but picked up a foot injury and will miss Week 9. He's droppable in most formats. Stefon Diggs can be relied on as a steady WR2 this week. Rookie Antonio Williams is an intriguing flex option. And Chig Okonkwo moves high up the tight end rankings, in the back-end TE1 mix. |
Treylon Burks player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Giants after another limited practice on Friday. Barkley, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, did not practice Wednesday before returning on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With the Eagles shopping most of their vets, it's peculiar that they keep playing an injured Barkley while maintaining the stance that he won't be traded. He split touches with Elijah Mitchell last week and looked clearly limited by his injuries. As he gets healthier, his role may grow. But fantasy managers should hope the Eagles explore a trade and put him in a better offensive ecosystem. It's hard to trust him as anything more than a shaky RB2 this week. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants, the team announced on its Friday injury report. Wicks was also ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Wicks will miss his second straight game. He's droppable in most formats unless the Eagles quickly turn things around. |
Dontayvion Wicks player page
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants, the team announced on its Friday injury report. Smith was also ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Smith's hamstring issues have lingered since this preseason, and he hasn't practiced since Week 6. The Eagles are testing out Joe Milton III this weekend to see what they have on their depth chart. When Smith returns, it's hard to say what the Eagles will look like. His upside is too high to drop him, but fantasy managers should prepare for more frustration this season. |
DeVonta Smith player page
49ers WR Christian Kirk was not at practice on Friday. He also did not practice on Thursday with a knee injury he apparently suffered in Wednesday's practice. With Kirk out, the beat writer said it 'looks like' the 49ers' available WRs for Sunday's game against the Raiders will be Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and practice-squad WR KhaDarel Hodge.
| Footballguys view: Kirk missed most of training camp and this season because of a calf injury. He returned in Week 7, logged no targets, and suffered a new injury after the bye. He's droppable in all formats. |
Christian Kirk player page
49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles) was not participating in the early open portion of Friday's practice. Evans also did not participate in the open portion of Thursday's practice and was called 'probably unlikely' to play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders.
Link to storyMike Evans player page
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) was on the field and participating in the early open portion of Friday's practice. He continues to "trend in right direction." McCaffrey returned to practice Thursday after not practicing Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: An afternoon kickoff against the Raiders could be a headache, but all indications suggest McCaffrey should play this weekend. Assuming he's active, he's a plug-and-play RB1. McCaffrey's managers hopefully have Kaelon Black stashed in case. And if they don't, they should move McCaffrey into their flex spot and have a pivot option in the late slate or primetime games to fall back on. |
Christian McCaffrey player page
Packers CB Keisean Nixon is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots with a groin injury. Nixon was also questionable for last Thursday's game against the Panthers.
Link to storyKeisean Nixon player page
Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (knee) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Lloyd popped up on the injury report during the practice week.
| Footballguys view: Lloyd has handled very little work since Josh Jacobs returned, earning just 12 touches over the last two weeks. He's an injury away from fantasy relevance. If he can't go on Sunday afternoon, expect Pierre Strong Jr. to be the team's backup, with Jacobs handling the lion's share of the work. |
MarShawn Lloyd player page
Packers DE Micah Parsons (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots. The Packers opened Parsons' practice window from the physically unable to perform list on Wednesday, giving the team 21 days to activate him to the 53-man roster.
Link to storyMicah Parsons player page
Patriots QB Drake Maye (right shoulder) did not receive a game status and will be available for Sunday's game against the Packers.
| Footballguys view: Maye has been on the injury report for the last few weeks with a shoulder injury, but it hasn't impacted his play or kept him from elite production. He's a QB1 this week against the Packers. |
Drake Maye player page
Packers WR Christian Watson (ribs) did not receive a game status and will be available for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Watson broke a rib during the Packers' 27-19 win over the Panthers but returned to finish that game, and he wore protective padding while practicing in a limited capacity this week. "We have a good plan in place," Watson said on Wednesday. "Obviously, there'll be pads and stuff on it but kind of just what it is. It's one of those things that'll probably be a little bothersome, but you know can still play."
| Footballguys view: Given Watson's ability to return to last week's game, there was little doubt surrounding his Week 9 availability. Watson has been on fire this year and is currently the WR3 in PPR. Start him with confidence. |
Christian Watson player page
Vikings WR Jauan Jennings was not seen at Friday's practice, which the team held indoors. Jennings was added to the injury report on Thursday with a calf injury.
| Footballguys view: Jennings has been a non-factor in fantasy this year. Even if he is active, he shouldn't be started anywhere. |
Jauan Jennings player page
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. Ferguson did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday.
Link to storyJake Ferguson player page
Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Colts. Pickens was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Luckily, the Cowboys play early, so fantasy managers will have no dearth of pivot options if needed. Practicing all week is a promising sign, and both Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer said they share a desire to get Pickens more involved. If active, Pickens is a volatile WR2. If he's inactive, Ryan Flournoy moves from risky WR3 firmly into WR2 discussion. |
George Pickens player page
Cowboys rookie S Caleb Downs is good to go for Sunday's game against the Colts. Downs was ruled out of last Sunday's game against the Cardinals while being evaluated for a concussion and was in the concussion protocol on Monday.
Link to storyCaleb Downs player page
There is "optimism" for Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (ankle) ahead of Sunday's game at the Colts, coming out of the team's Friday game status report. Ferguson did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday because of the ankle sprain.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson was the per-game TE31 going into the Week 8 game in which he was injured. The Cowboys have leaned more on three-receiver sets lately, and Ryan Flournoy's emergence has come at Ferguson's expense. Even if he's active, Ferguson isn't startable. And in most leagues, it's hard to even justify rostering him. |
Jake Ferguson player page
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday after being limited on Wednesday. He has no game designation heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Kelce was limited on Wednesday but has logged back-to-back full practices since. Start him as a back-end TE1 against the Jets this week. |
Travis Kelce player page
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday after being limited on Wednesday. He has no game designation heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Rice suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2024 and played through a hamstring injury last week, explaining his designation on this week's report. The Chiefs are liberal with their injury report inclusions, and there's no indication Rice won't be his normal self against the Jets this week. Start him as a WR2. |
Rashee Rice player page
Bears RB Kyle Monangai is questionable for Sunday night's Week 9 game against the Buccaneers after being limited in practice on Friday. Monangai, who has been dealing with toe and thumb injuries, did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. He was ruled out of last Monday's game against the Seahawks, his fourth straight missed game.
Link to storyKyle Monangai player page
Bills WR Keon Coleman (shoulder) was still wearing the red non-contact jersey at practice on Friday. Coleman had also been in the non-contact jersey to start Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Coleman's Week 9 projection is contingent on DJ Moore's availability. Moore is hoping to play after suffering a knee injury late in Week 8, but he's also practicing in a non-contact jersey. If Moore can't go, Coleman becomes a risky WR3. If Moore is active, Coleman is a desperation flex or WR5. However, Coleman has a shoulder injury of his own to overcome. We should have more information about his Monday Night outlook after Saturday's practice. |
Keon Coleman player page
Bills WR DJ Moore (knee) was still wearing the red non-contact jersey at practice on Friday. Moore was hurt late in last Sunday's win over the Ravens but said afterward he was "OK."
| Footballguys view: Moore, who had deservedly earned an Iron Man title over the last few seasons, has struggled with health in 2026. A shoulder injury knocked him out of Week 2. A reinjury kept him out for a while after. And now he's dealing with a knee issue. In the two full games he's played, he's racked up 182 yards and two scores. He's the clear WR1 in Buffalo. But fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his participation over the next two days to get a clearer idea of his Monday Night outlook. |
DJ Moore player page
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (chest) was no longer wearing the red non-contact jersey at practice on Friday. Kincaid had been in the non-contact jersey to start Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid is expected to be a full go this Monday against the Vikings. Kincaid saved his output last week with a garbage-time touchdown. He also had a couple of solid weeks to start the season. However, he's been too volatile to earn the "plug-and-play" tag, and this week's matchup against the Vikings is among the hardest for tight ends. Coupled with the injury, he's a back-end TE1. However, being tied to Josh Allen gives him a better chance of scoring than most. |
Dalton Kincaid player page
Bills WR Khalil Shakir was not practicing Friday for a personal reason, based on the media-open start of practice. Buffalo plays at the Vikings on Monday night in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: We'll keep a close eye on this, but it doesn't seem like Shakir is at risk of missing this week's game. He was excused for personal reasons. If we hear more, we'll update. |
Khalil Shakir player page
Rams TE Colby Parkinson will be questionable for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Commanders, head coach Sean McVay said on Friday. Parkinson was also questionable for last Sunday's game against the Chargers with a ribs injury.
| Footballguys view: If active, Parkinson can be streamed as a desperation option. Terrance Ferguson was expected to return this week but has since been ruled out, which keeps Parkinson in the game plan. Every Rams tight end has a chance to score any given week, especially against the Commanders' susceptible secondary. As far as streamers go, though, Parkinson is one of the riskiest this week. |
Colby Parkinson player page
Chiefs rookie CB Mansoor Delane will not play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Jets, leaving Kansas City short a cornerback. Delane was ruled out of last Sunday's game at Denver with a shoulder injury.
Link to storyMansoor Delane player page
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson is expected to play in Sunday's Week 9 game at the Commanders, head coach Sean McVay said on Friday, ESPN's Sarah Barshop reported. Ferguson has been on injured reserve with an ankle sprain, and the Rams opened his practice window on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson could immediately step into a big role with Davante Adam out. The Year 2 tight end drew a lot of preseason buzz and was heavily involved in the Week 2 game plan, where he caught nine passes and scored a touchdown. He got injured early in Week 3 and hasn't played since. There might be a bit of a ramp-up after an extended period out, but Ferguson is a great athlete with legitimate late-season upside. He's worth stashing in all leagues, and desperate managers can stream him as a boom-bust option this week against the Commanders. |
Terrance Ferguson player page
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. Tyson was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday and returned to practice that day, then was limited again on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Tyson should be rostered in all leagues, but fantasy managers will want to keep him stashed on the bench this week, even if he is active. The expectation is that he'll eventually become the team's secondary weapon behind Chris Olave. The Saints drafted him eighth overall, an investment that signals they view him as a cornerstone of their roster. After missing most of camp and preseason, Tyson could get off the line slowly. But his late-season upside makes him one of the best players to put at the end of your bench. |
Jordyn Tyson player page
Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. will play in Sunday's game against the Saints, head coach Todd Monken said on Friday. "He'll be fine. Just a little sore," Monken said. Fannin practiced on Friday after he was added to Thursday's injury report with a groin injury.
| Footballguys view: Fannin's midweek downgrade looks like nothing to worry about. Fannin played very well alongside Shedeur Sanders last year and can be relied on as a mid-range TE1 this week against the Saints. |
