  • JAC Wide Receiver #12
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    This is unfortunate. Hunter evidently injured his knee in today’s practice. Details on the matter have not yet been released, so he should be considered questionable to play at this time. Hype for Hunter’s offensive usage has been building, with some suggesting he could start “getting WR1 treatment” in the coming weeks. Hopefully, this is just a bruise or minor sprain and he can play in Week 9 against the Raiders.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #13
    Kirk is now on track to return for Week 9 against the Broncos, while backup slot receiver Braxton Berrios (chest) remains limited. Kirk’s expected return jeopardizes rookie slot WR Jaylin Noel’s access to the starting slot role. Noel has played very well in recent weeks, but Texans coaches could choose to keep the veteran installed as the starter. Friday’s injury report is worth monitoring.
  • HOU Running Back #27
    Brutal. Mid-week additions to the injury report are never a good sign. Marks is coming off consecutive RB2 finishes while out-touching Nick Chubb 28-25 during that span. Marks has not yet been ruled out, but the events suggest he suffered the injury in practice today, putting him in the questionable camp at best. The Texans face the Broncos this week, so although Chubb will likely handle a sizable workload if Marks is sidelined, it could be tough sledding.
  • NE Wide Receiver #8
    The Patriots’ No. 1 pass catcher should be good to go for his team’s Week 9 game against the Falcons. His results have been a bit volatile this season, but Diggs can be started as a low-end WR2 in this one, particularly with the Falcons’ defense dealing with multiple injuries. He has finished as the WR24 and WR35 in half-PPR scoring over the last two weeks.
  • NE Running Back #38
    Stevenson is now on the wrong side of questionable for the Patriots’ Week 9 game against the Falcons. Theoretically, rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson would be in line to start if Stevenson cannot play, though RB Terrell Jennings would likely rotate in. Hopefully, the coaching staff will provide clarity on Friday. ESPN’s Mike Reiss recently reported that the Patriots are likely to target a running back via the trade market before the NFL’s November 4th trade deadline. Stevenson’s health could be a factor.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    McConkey appeared on Wednesday’s injury report with a calf issue, yet managed to practice in a limited capacity. Although limited sessions early in the week are positive, new soft tissue listings are concerning. At this point, McConkey should be considered truly questionable to play in Week 9 against a Titans defense that notably just traded away starting slot CB Roger McCreary. His practice participation on Friday is critical.
  • ATL Quarterback #9
    Penix was expected to take the “majority” of first-team practice reps this week. It is unclear if that is indeed the case, but hopefully, he can practice in full tomorrow and this is a non-issue. Penix sat out in Week 8 after picking up a bone bruise in Week 7. If active against the Patriots this week, the Falcons’ quarterback can be treated as a high-end QB2.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #2
    In Weeks 7 and 8, Moore sat out on Wednesday, practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday, practiced in full on Friday and suited up on game day. Through two Week 9 practices, he is on track to do the same. He finished as a WR4 and WR3, respectively, during that span. Against the Bengals, Moore can be treated as a WR3 with upside.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    This is actually a little alarming for Swift managers — he managed to get in limited sessions on Thursday ahead of Week 7 and Week 8 with this groin listing, now we’re heading into Friday with him much closer to questionable than usual. If Swift does sit, Kyle Monangai will turn into an RB2-caliber play against a dawdling Bengals defense.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #15
    This is a step in the right direction, but Odunze should still be considered questionable to play at this time. Running routes with an injured heel is tough. Commanders WR Deebo Samuel recently attempted to play through a heel injury and was ultimately forced to take a week off. That said, Odunze told reporters on Thursday that he has been managing this issue for some time and expects to play in Week 9 against the Bengals. He is a WR1 if active.
