  • JAC Running Back #33
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Tuten briefly left the team’s Week 8 win in the first quarter but returned to amass 159 total yards and two touchdowns against the overmatched Colts. Fantasy managers will want to track his status closely as the team makes a quick turn to face the Ravens on Thursday Night Football.
  • SEA Running Back #26
    Charbonnet makes his season debut after a suffering a torn ACL late in the 2025 season while Price returns from short-term injure reserve due to a chest injury. Emmanuel Wilson and George Holani had held down the backfield in the absence of the two top backs, leaving an uncertain situation regarding expected backfield utilization when the Seahawks take on the Bears in a marquee matchup. Inactive for the Seahawks are QB Drew Lock, LB Uchenna Nwosu, WR Rashid Shaheed, RB Velus Jones Jr., OT Charles Cross, G Beau Stephens, and NT Brandon Pili.
  • BAL Quarterback #12
    Whelp, that isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement for the rookie quarterback’s chances of starting under center for the Ravens when they host the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 9. The team lost both Lamar Jackson to a season-ending thumb injury and backup Tyler Huntley to a turf toe injury in their Week 8 loss to the Bills, now in desperate need of a viable quarterback option as they fight for their playoff lives. It is possible the team addresses the position through trade with just over a week until the trade deadline, although that is unlikely to help them on a short week. More to come in what quickly became a dire situation in Baltimore. Fagnano was officially listed as limited on the team’s estimated practice report Monday.
  • LA Outside Linebacker #95
    Garrett will reportedly retake the practice field this week as he looks to make his return from injured reserve, a welcome sight for fans and the team, alike. Garrett played only 40 defensive snaps in Week 1 before suffering the injury that would cost him the following seven games. His eventual return will bolster a defense that has been underperforming preseason expectations, bringing a jolt to a team currently stuck at .500 with a 4-4 record. We’ll know more of the timing of his activation throughout the week.
  • PHI Quarterback #16
    Speaking to media Monday following the team’s sixth consecutive loss, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni expressed confidence in his 26 year old quarterback, saying, “Tanner is out guy.” He was asked directly if he was considering a change at quarterback following McKee’s third straight loss, quickly putting those rumors to rest. McKee appears to be the team’s starting quarterback, at least in the immediate future, as they limp past the half way point of the regular season with a Week 9 meeting against the division rival Giants.
  • ARI Running Back #4
    According to LaFleur, the injury is to “a new portion of the ankle” that Love hadn’t previously injured. LaFleur didn’t dismiss the possibility of Love being placed on injured reserve, suggesting he would wait until Wednesday to decide if that is on the table. A tough rookie season only gets tougher for Love, who sounds like he will be at risk of missing more time even if he isn’t an IR candidate. Meanwhile, Bam Knight, who left Week 8’s game with a concussion, is in the league’s protocol, making Tyler Allgeier the only healthy back on the roster entering Week 9 against the Seahawks.
  • ARI Quarterback #15
    After leading a second-half comeback against the Cowboys in which he threw for 188 yards and three touchdowns on 17-of-23 passing, the move to Minshew felt inevitable. Now, the eighth-year journeyman will have a chance to make his first start for the Cardinals in what’s sure to be a tough road matchup against the Seahawks. Minshew has long proved his value as a serviceable backup in the league and should provide enough to keep the fantasy stocks of Trey McBride and Michael Wilson up, but he could be in for a tough outing against a top-flight Seahawks defense. He shouldn’t be treated as anything more than a desperation streamer in 2QB/superflex leagues, while Wilson’s expectations should fall somewhere in the WR3 range.
  • SEA Running Back #8
    Price and Zach Charbonnet will both make their returns from injured reserve tonight, putting the Seahawks’ backfield at full strength heading into a pivotal NFC matchup. It’s hard to know how the touches will be spread out in this one, which makes both backs hard to trust on Monday night against the Bears. Price averaged 11.5 carries per game in his two full games played this season, but Charbonnet should eat into that somewhat. Fantasy managers looking to play either Seattle running back in this one should temper expectations until we have more data to go on in the coming weeks.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    Head coach Jesse Minter didn’t dismiss the possibility of this being a season-ending injury for Jackson when asked about it after the game, but the optics on the field weren’t good, and the team wasted little time announcing he would undergo surgery and be placed on injured reserve. It wouldn’t be at all surprising to learn in the days ahead that Jackson’s season is over, but the team will likely wait until after he has his surgery to make any formal announcement. With Jackson and Tyler Huntley (toe) both being sidelined, rookie UDFA Joe Fagnano is slated to start on the short week on Thursday against the Jaguars.
  • MIN Quarterback #1
    Murray appeared to be slowed a bit by an injury in Week 8’s loss to the Lions, so this news isn’t all too surprising. O’Connell said Murray will go “through a full eval” of everything to determine the severity of his injury, but didn’t suggest this will cost Murray any time as the Vikings prepare to face the Bills next Monday night. That said, we know how these types of injuries can linger and lead to some missed time, so we won’t jump to assume Murray is in the clear for Week 9. In the event he can’t go, Carson Wentz would be in line to draw the start against Buffalo.
