Amari Cooper Could Be the Top Receiving Option in Week 9
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is one of the top receiving options in Week 9 and has a legitimate chance to be the WR1 overall. Cooper and the Cowboys face off against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys offense should have no problem picking up yards and points against a... Read More
J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Not a Fantasy Consideration
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is not a fantasy consideration for Week 9. The Eagles face a tough challenge against a strong Bears Defense, and Arcega-Whiteside hasn't even seen a ball thrown his way since Week 3. Anyone holding onto him in redraft formats should have let go a long time ago and... Read More
Mack Hollins Not Fantasy Relevant in Week 9
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins is not a fantasy relevant player in Week 9. With the Eagles firmly establishing a run game and heading into a matchup against a tough Chicago Bears Defense, Hollins shouldn't be anywhere near fantasy lineups. Despite starting in three-wide sets since Week 3 in place of the injured DeSean... Read More
Nelson Agholor Not an Option for Week 9 Lineups
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not a starting option for most formats in Week 9. The Eagles take on the Chicago Bears and their tough defense, and Agholor has a hard time even when he's wide open. He somehow caught four passes and only gained seven total yards in Week 8. With the... Read More
DeSean Jackson Could Be Back in Week 9
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) could return in Week 9 and see the field for the first time since Week 2. Jackson is expected to practice this week, although his injury is one that is expected to linger for the rest of the season. With the Eagles bye week coming up in Week... Read More
Alshon Jeffery Just an OK Option for Week 9
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is a decent, unexciting option for Week 9 fantasy lineups. Jeffery and the Eagles take on the Chicago Bears and their tough defense. The Eagles were able to establish a strong running game in Week 8, leading to quarterback Carson Wentz completing just 17 passes. It's likely that they... Read More
Tony Pollard Not a Starting Option in Week 9
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard won't be a starting fantasy option in Week 9. Despite a great matchup against the New York Giants on Monday night, Pollard will be in his customary back seat, watching starter Ezekiel Elliott likely run circles around the Giants Defense. Pollard remains a handcuff with league-winning upside, but... Read More
Ezekiel Elliott Should Run for Days in Week 9
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should have no problem putting up fantasy points in bunches in Week 9. The Cowboys will travel to New Jersey to play on Monday Night Football against the division-rival New York Giants and their very generous defense. Elliott is a top-five option at his position this week with the... Read More
Boston Scott Not a Safe Week 9 Option
Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is not a Week 9 fantasy option. Scott made some impressive moves in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills, but he was on the field mostly because of the injury to Miles Sanders (shoulder). Scott may have earned a few more snaps with his play last week, but he'll... Read More
Darren Sproles Back to Practice; Could Play in Week 9
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (quad) is expected to return to practice this week and has a chance to suit up for a Week 9 game against the Chicago Bears. Sproles hasn't played or practiced since getting hurt in Week 5, and he's far from a sure thing in Week 9. Since the Eagles... Read More
Miles Sanders Looks to Build on a Big Game in Week 9
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears and will look to build on his impressive Week 8 performance against the Buffalo Bills. Sanders only had six touches in Week 8 before leaving with a shoulder injury, but he did a lot on those... Read More
Jordan Howard Could Be a Solid Play in Week 9
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard could be a solid option in Week 9 despite a seemingly tough matchup against a strong Chicago Bears Defense. The Eagles were able to establish a strong running game against the Bills in Week 8, leading Howard to a season-high 96 yards on the ground. More of the same... Read More
Dak Prescott a Top Option for Week 9
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is one of the top-five options at the position in Week 9. The Cowboys will hit the road for a Monday Night Football matchup against the New York Giants and their very generous defense. Prescott is being ranked somewhere from QB3-6 for this one, and should have a strong floor... Read More
Carson Wentz Slips Out of the QB1 Ranks for Week 9
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has fallen out of the fantasy QB1 ranks for Week 9. The Eagles will host the Chicago Bears and their fearsome pass defense. With the Eagles really getting the running game going in Week 8, Wentz only completed 17 passes for 172 yards. A similar performance might be in store... Read More
Jimmy Garoppolo Fine Outside The Limelight
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is fine with his role amidst the Niners undefeated start. Entering Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, the passing attack has become a tertiary thought to the team’s dominant defense and run game. Garoppolo hasn’t helped himself, committing nine turnovers in seven contests. Jimmy G should continue playing game... Read More
Matt Breida And Raheem Mostert Miss Practice
San Francisco 49ers running backs Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (quad, knee) will not practice on Tuesday. Both players were “limited” in yesterday’s estimated injury report and are iffy for Thursday night’s Week 9 tilt against the Arizona Cardinals. Running back Tevin Coleman ignited for four touchdowns in Week 8 and should carry even... Read More
Kenyan Drake To Have Workload Monitored
Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake will be given a "manageable" workload in Week 9 to help his transition to a new team in a short week, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Look for him to share work with Alfred Morris or Zach Zenner against the daunted San Francisco 49ers Defense. The Niners have... Read More
Jaylen Samuels On Track To Play In Week 9
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels (knee) is "ready to go," in Week 9, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. Samuels had to have his knee scoped after the Week 5 loss to Baltimore, and was out about a month. He was a full participant in last week’s practices, but the team held him out... Read More
Chris Boswell Posts Solid Night
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made two of three field goals, while nailing all three extra-point attempts in Monday’s 27-14 win over the Dolphins. Boswell missed a 54 yarder to open the third quarter, marking his first miss of the season. However, he made up by being perfect on the other five kicking attempts. In... Read More
The Steelers Defense Closes In On Dolphins
The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense allowed just 14 points, while forcing four turnovers and registering three sacks in Monday’s win over the Miami Dolphins. It was a rough start for Pittsburgh who gave up two touchdowns in the game’s first quarter; however, they didn’t allow a point after that. Defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick recorded both interceptions... Read More
Vance McDonald Catches Three Passes In Win
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald caught three of four targets for 19 yards in Monday night’s win over Miami. The 29-year-old has been an afterthought in the offense, regardless of who is in at quarterback for the Steelers. He’s been targeted just eight times in the last three games, and is nearing drop status... Read More
James Washington Held In Check Against Dolphins
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington had just one catch for 21 yards in Monday’s win over the Dolphins. The second-year receiver didn’t get much help from quarterback Mason Rudolph who had trouble throwing a catchable pass to his former college teammate. In just his first action since missing the Week 6 game against the... Read More
Diontae Johnson Explodes For Long Touchdown
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson hauled in five of his seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Monday’s victory over Miami.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Catches Highlight-Reel Touchdown
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught five passes on nine targets for 103 yards and a score in Monday’s win over the Miami Dolphins. This outing gives a major sigh of relief for his fantasy owners, as Smith-Schuster had struggled mightily through the team’s first six games. As long as Mason Rudolph stays healthy,... Read More
James Conner Scores, Reaches Century Mark
Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, while also hauling three passes for five yards in Monday night’s win over Miami. This was far-and-away the best game of 2019 for the 24-year-old. He hadn’t rushed for more than 55 yards in any game thus far this... Read More
Mason Rudolph Recovers After Rough Start
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph finished 20 of 36 for 251 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Monday’s win over the Dolphins.

Marquise Goodwin Returns After Missing Week 8
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) returned to the team on Monday. Goodwin had been absent since last Thursday and missed Week 8’s game dealing with a family issue.

Matt Breida "Limited" In Practice Report
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) was “limited” in Monday’s practice report. The Niners issued an estimated injury report ahead of a Thursday showdown with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9.
