Woody Marks missed practice with a knee problem as David Montgomery returned to side work. Pickens, Samuel and Wilson were limited, Stevenson is back and McConkey sat out.
The Rams put Puka Nacua on injured reserve after all. He's out until 20 December at the earliest; Adams is targeting Week 13. Atwell is a deep add, the tight ends split the work.
Washington beat New York 24-21 on a Diggs touchdown with 57 seconds left. Likely had 127 yards, Skattebo two scores, and rookie Antonio Williams is an add with McLaurin out.
Mahomes practised in full and Goff and St. Brown were limited. Samuel, Pickens and Garrett Wilson need Friday's report. Plus Marks, Lloyd and McCord.
New England ruled out TreVeyon Henderson for Detroit and Stevenson's knee is expected to cost him weeks. Kiner is an RB2 for one game before the bye.
Skattebo is back from his hamstring and starts Thursday. McCarthy plays through his hip but stays on your bench. Daniels, Nabers and Likely are in.

Allen is a flex while Mike Evans sits. In Indianapolis, two receivers gone leaves Warren as the passing game. Jonathan Taylor stays.
Kansas City gets its slot receiver two days after Worthy's hamstring went. Downs is a flex now and a better dynasty asset than he was on Monday.
Green Bay's lead back is out for weeks and may go on IR. Johnson ran best when he got the chance; Lloyd and Brooks are on their way back.
One trade fixes Justin Jefferson's week and starts the No. 1 pick's career. Kyler Murray is the loser.
Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay are off. How to replace missing starters without sacrificing long-term roster value.
Nacua's knee injury creates an urgent lineup question, but uncertainty is not a confirmed timetable.
Stevenson's knee injury and Henderson's absence make Kiner a contingency pickup, not an automatic season-long starter.
Shedeur Sanders, Jets receiving opportunities and injury replacements: a practical waiver framework after Week 9.
Burrow, Chase, Lamb, Stroud, Sanders and Coleman produced reasons to revisit assumptions — not to automatically change dynasty prices.
Three possible acquisition conversations after Week 9, with the right price, trade packages and reasons to walk away.
Four fantasy-relevant injury situations need follow-up before Week 10. Here is what is reported, what remains unknown and where managers should prepare cover.
CeeDee Lamb's 195 yards, Ja'Marr Chase's 155 and C.J. Stroud's five touchdown passes headline Sunday's fantasy standouts — but one game is not a dynasty model.
Puka Nacua caught 14 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown before a late knee injury. The MRI, not the box score, is Monday's dynasty decision point.
Friday settled the big availability questions: Wilson sits, Hall and McCaffrey have no game designation, and San Francisco is missing three receivers.
Friday changed the available work. Douglas and Stevenson get the nod in two close lineup decisions; Hall narrowly edges Allen after being cleared.
Brown and Henderson are out. Douglas is the receiver to check, Stevenson stays in the lineup and Hunter Henry managers need a playable tight-end alternative.
Baltimore has completed the Brissett deal and Cleveland has named Sanders its starter. One is a Week 10 pickup; the other can fill a Week 9 superflex gap.
Indianapolis says it isn't limiting Jonathan Taylor's workload before the deadline. Keep him in Sunday's plan and leave the destination guessing out of the lineup decision.
Jacksonville won 33–10. Keep Tuten, resist chasing Hill's late score and treat Baltimore's passing game as a problem that still needs solving.
Breece Hall moved to full practice Thursday. Garrett Wilson missed another session, so the Jets' two biggest lineup questions are heading in different directions.
Wilson is in concussion protocol, Hall was limited and McCaffrey missed Wednesday. Their next reports matter more than an early-week label.
Purdy gets the quarterback nod, Loveland edges LaPorta and Gibbs leads the running backs. Three decisions from our Week 9 board.
Philadelphia is changing starters, Seattle is covering an injury, and Cleveland is still waiting on clearance. Don't treat the openings as identical.
Rodriguez and Meyers have no final game designation. Tuten remains questionable after missing all three practices.
Brissett's reported move is aimed at life after Thursday. Huntley is reportedly out for the season; Fagnano still starts this week.
Tuten missed a second practice and Rodriguez was limited again. Make the cover claim before Thursday, then let the final report decide the start.
Arizona has placed Love and Bourne on IR. Allgeier is the immediate backfield answer; the receiving vacancies need more care.
Baltimore has named its Thursday starter. Fagnano practised fully Tuesday; Huntley's possible IR move remains unresolved.

Chicago won 34–17. Swift scored three times, Loveland delivered seven catches, and Seattle's returning backs still need patience.
Fagnano was limited in Monday's walkthrough and Huntley's outlook is unresolved. Find cover before Baltimore plays Jacksonville on Thursday.
Love has a new ankle injury, Knight is in concussion protocol and Conner is not ready to return this week. Allgeier is the immediate cover.
Tuten led Jacksonville's rushing work in a 42–7 win. Taylor's poor afternoon doesn't tell us where he'll play next.
Jackson faces IR after one snap. Huntley is hurt too, leaving Baltimore with a short week and no settled answer.
Higgins and Chase both cleared 140 yards. Keep starting them; don't pretend the same discount survives this game.
Washington won 27–10. Keep Philadelphia's touchdown separate from the weekly reliability of its passing game.
Coleman's 104 scrimmage yards strengthen his claim. Henry's foot injury adds a separate tight-end problem.
Loveland has no injury designation. Charbonnet is returning, while Price still needs activation before he can play.
Two settled running-back choices beat waiting on Seattle’s returning committee. Henry is the tight-end fallback; Lamar returns to starting lineups.
Coleman is a bench stash, Johnson is a receiving fallback and Kiner is emergency depth. Make the claim match the hole in your roster.
New reporting says Indianapolis is willing to discuss a Taylor deal. Interest is real; an agreed move and its fantasy consequences are not.
Separate confirmed absences from Sunday decisions: Hall, Pickens and Meyers need checks; Love is cleared and Egbuka will not play.
Charbonnet will make his season debut. Price is medically cleared but still needs activation, while Monangai is out for Chicago.
Harvey must miss four games. Dobbins is the immediate Denver choice; Coleman is a bench addition, not an automatic starter.
New England loses two starters in Miami. Stevenson is the clearest running-back play; Henry is the preferred receiving replacement.
Todd Wash replaces Ejiro Evero as interim defensive coordinator. A new play-caller needs to show improvement before fantasy managers rely on it.
Two Jacobs touchdowns hid another slow rushing night. Golden and Kraft strengthened their cases; Watson needs another health check.
Seattle adds a guard; San Francisco and Chicago strengthen their fronts. Three confirmed deals, with different fantasy implications.
Jackson returns after three full practices. Moore and Kincaid remain questionable, so prepare separate receiver and tight-end cover.
A trade request, a crowded receiver room and possible Eagles departures are different levels of evidence. Keep them separate.
Olave has cooled off, but ten targets and a Week 8 bye create a buying conversation. Two offers, clear limits and both rosters considered.
Higgins is WR23 in dynasty but WR10 in redraft on our board. His rebound supports a buy, provided the owner still accepts WR2 prices.
Tracy is on IR and Skattebo has a hamstring concern of his own. Singletary is worth a stash, but the Giants cannot help you in Week 8.
Jackson is trending towards a Week 8 return against Buffalo. Retain your alternative until practice and the final status support the comeback.
Teams are calling about Jonathan Taylor, but ownership reportedly wants him to stay. Keep the trade watch separate from your lineup call.
Kansas City is exploring receiver additions and Pittsburgh is another team to watch. Downs is a reported possibility, not an agreed deal.
Seattle may get two backs back. Wilson remains a conditional claim; Black is a stash through San Francisco's bye.
San Francisco calls it a mild hamstring strain. Hold McCaffrey, secure cover and wait for the Week 9 practice reports.
Williams' workload matters more than the score. Lamb delivers twice; Barkley's return still needs a health check.
Pay for young players already earning the ball. Move useful veterans to contenders before short term points become stranded.
Seattle lost Shaheed and Jones against Kansas City. Wilson is the immediate claim; Kupp and Horton need more evidence.
Smith Njigba owned the passing game. Wilson won the workload. Kansas City's miserable night calls for patience with Walker.
Fix quarterback cheaply if you can. Treat Wilson as a bridge and keep your own first out of a rescue mission.
A young quarterback who already produces is worth keeping. Sell ageing points in separate deals rather than selling the core.
Buy proven touches after ugly Sundays. Sell spare receiver upside to fix a starting spot, without dismantling your young core.

Who are you starting this week?
Rules. Every player starts with our projected stat line for the week, shown in whole numbers; until you change a stat, his projected points use our exact expectation (a 0.6-touchdown projection counts as 0.6). Click a number and scroll, use the arrows, or type to change it; projected points and ranks update as you go. Prefer to skip the numbers? Switch to Drag into order and drag each player up or down, or type his finish position; players start in our projected order, and switching back to stat lines keeps your drag order for later. Whichever way is selected at kickoff is the one that counts. Your top 32 QBs, 75 RBs, 75 WRs and 32 TEs are your position boards, and the top 100 of the players you tick make The Big Board. Each board is scored on its own when the week’s games are final: 5 points for each exact finish and 1 for each finish one rank away, in standard half-PPR scoring. Projections combine each player’s recent form, the betting market’s team totals, what the opponent allows to the position (green easy, yellow neutral, red hard), the kickoff weather forecast and the injury report, with an injured player’s targets and carries passed to his teammates. Boards lock at the week’s first kickoff. Free to play: badges and bragging rights only.
