Baltimore Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar caught two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 9 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The 26-year-old has now scored in back-to-back games, earning himself a larger role alongside established tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. While Kolar is clearly third on the depth chart, he should continue to handle more opportunities in the passing game, especially if he continues to score touchdowns. His snap share has already started to increase, as he played 46.4 percent of the offensive snaps Thursday. He was on the field for just two fewer plays than Andrews and five fewer plays than Likely, which isn't exactly a very sizable margin. Kolar isn't a fantasy threat, but he'll continue to be a thorn in the side of Andrews' and Likely's fantasy managers.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle caught six of his nine targets for 82 yards during Thursday's Week 9 loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Waddle has quietly been quite productive despite Miami's overall offensive struggles this year. In the five games since Tyreek Hill was placed on injured reserve, he is averaging 4.8 catches, 80.2 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns. He ranks as the overall WR7 in PPR leagues so far, albeit with at least one more game played than most of his fellow receivers. On a points per game basis, he ranks 23rd. Managers should continue to trust Waddle as a solid WR2 option heading into a potentially negative game script scenario against the Buffalo Bills.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry rushed for 119 yards on 19 carries during Thursday's Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins. He also converted his lone target into a two-yard reception. Henry had a relatively underwhelming four-week stretch earlier in the season, but he has suddenly bounced back with three terrific showings. Over his last three contests, he has totaled 64 carries, 312 rushing yards, and two touchdowns, as well as a pair of receptions. He's firmly back in RB1 territory ahead of a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews caught two of his three targets for 22 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins. The veteran tight end had relatively low involvement in the victory, but he was highly efficient in terms of scoring, converting both of his grabs into touchdowns. The 30-year-old now has 26 catches, 230 yards, and four touchdowns this season, which is a relatively underwhelming line through eight games. With that said, Andrews has scored four touchdowns through five games with Lamar Jackson under center, so perhaps the quarterback's return from a hamstring injury will give him a significant boost going forward. He ranks as a mid-range TE2 for Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane rushed for 67 yards on 14 carries during Thursday's Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He also caught six of his 10 targets for an additional 39 receiving yards. While the speedy running back was held without a touchdown for the second time in the last three weeks, his heavy receiving workload salvaged his fantasy performance, especially in full-PPR and half-PPR formats. Achane ultimately led the Dolphins in targets on Thursday and finished second on the team in receptions, trailing Jaylen Waddle. Although his upside has been slightly capped by Miami's poor offensive output this season, his floor has remained one of the highest in the league. He has scored at least 12 fantasy points (full-PPR) in every game this year, ranking as the overall RB3 so far. A rare matchup-proof running back, Achane has shown that he belongs in lineups regardless of what Miami's offensive forecast looks like. He should be treated as a mid-to-high RB1 for Week 10 against the Bills.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 18 of his 23 pass attempts for 204 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins. He also rushed for 14 yards. Jackson returned from a multi-week absence caused by a hamstring injury, and he picked up right where he left off. The star quarterback didn't rush as much as he usually does, but he continued to demonstrate impressive accuracy while turning in his second four-touchdown game of the season. Jackson now has 15 touchdowns and just two turnovers through five games. He remains a high-end QB1 heading into next week's clash with the Minnesota Vikings.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the first half of the Thursday night game against the Baltimore Ravens and is questionable to return, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. Before leaving the contest to be checked out in the blue medical tent on the sideline, Gordon had only two carries for six yards and caught his lone target for a three-yard pickup. Jaylen Wright was a healthy scratch for this contest, so the Dolphins won't have anyone to back up starter De'Von Achane if Gordon is unable to return in the second half. And if Gordon's injury keeps him out beyond Week 9 -- they don't play again until Sunday, Nov. 9, against the division-rival Buffalo Bills - Wright would move up into the No. 2 role behind Achane in Miami's backfield.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) was listed with just a heel injury on Wednesday and was a full practice participant before being downgraded to limited on Thursday, with the Seahawks adding a hamstring injury, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN. Kupp's availability for Sunday night's contest against the Washington Commanders is now in question, and he might need to return to a full practice on Friday to avoid taking a questionable designation into the weekend. If the 32-year-old veteran is out or limited at all on Sunday Night Football, rookie Tory Horton would see an uptick in playing time as Seattle's WR2 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Although Kupp did score on Oct. 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars -- it was his first score of the year -- he's gone over 50 receiving yards twice in his seven games in his first year in Seattle.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport lists Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) as a potential trade candidate ahead of next Tuesday's deadline. The Titans are clearly rebuilding for the future and are already getting long looks at rookie receivers Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in 2025, with Ridley missing the last two games due to a hamstring injury. Ridley has yet to practice this week, too, so he's likely to miss a third straight game this weekend against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. However, as long as the veteran pass-catcher's hamstring issue isn't a long-term one, WR-needy contenders could be willing to trade for him as they look to make a run in the second half of the season. At this point, a trade out of Tennessee might be the only thing to save Ridley's fantasy value the rest of the year. The former first-rounder has yet to score a touchdown and has only 16 catches for 290 yards through eight weeks.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is officially active and is "fully healthy" with "no limitations" for Thursday night's game against the hosting Miami Dolphins in Week 9, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. Jackson led the NFL with 10 passing touchdowns, 11 total TDs, and a 130.5 passer rating before injuring his hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now that he's back after a three-game absence, the Ravens are hoping that he can start saving their season, starting on Thursday Night Football. With no limitations and a soft matchup against Miami's defense, the two-time MVP is a must-start in fantasy lineups in his first game back. According to Wolfe, the vibes around this Ravens team this week have been "Lamarvelous" with their star QB back in the fold.

The Las Vegas Raiders have yet to find a trade partner for wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, but NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said that he "wouldn't give up hope on this one just yet." The deadline for the Raiders to trade Meyers is next Tuesday, so they still have a bit of time to work something out with a contending NFL team looking to bolster their receiving corps. The Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, and Pittsburgh Steelers have been the teams most connected to the WR market in recent weeks. Meyers, who is having a disappointing 2025 campaign while working with quarterback Geno Smith, requested a trade early in the season and said recently that he's still open to being dealt. Vegas' recent acquisition of veteran Tyler Lockett gives them extra depth if they end up trading Meyers out of town, although Lockett still probably wouldn't have much fantasy appeal in that scenario.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) was upgraded to a full practice participant in Thursday's session, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Nacua was limited due to his ankle injury in Wednesday's practice, but his return to a full session on Thursday pretty much ensures that the Rams plan on him playing in Week 9 versus the visiting New Orleans Saints on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. The 24-year-old pass-catcher suffered an ankle injury in Week 6 and did not play in the Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London as a result. Nacua had last week's bye to rest up, and now it appears he's ready to return as the Rams' unquestioned WR1. He has been heavily targeted by quarterback Matthew Stafford again in 2025 and has been a top-five receiver in fantasy scoring despite missing a game due to injury. Get him back into your lineups this weekend.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) continues to deal with a calf injury and was limited again during Thursday's practice, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs has played through a calf injury each of the last two weeks, although he's had his two lowest snap rates in those games at just over 50%. The 27-year-old had only 33 rushing yards on 13 carries in the Sunday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he also found the end zone on the ground for the fourth straight week. While Jacobs hasn't gone over 100 yards in a game yet in 2025, he's been money for fantasy managers with nine rushing touchdowns in seven games played. The only game in which he didn't find the end zone was on Sept. 21 in the upset loss to the Cleveland Browns. Jacobs should be active this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, where he'll be a touchdown-dependent midrange RB1 in fantasy.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) remained a limited participant in practice on Thursday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Purdy has been slowly improving from a turf-toe injury that he aggravated in Week 4, but he has yet to upgrade to a full participant in practice, and until he does so, he probably won't be cleared to play this Sunday on the road against the New York Giants in Week 9. The Niners could be targeting a big Week 10 divisional tilt next Sunday, Nov. 9, against the Los Angeles Rams for Purdy to return. The 25-year-old signal-caller has now had eight straight limited practices. Fantasy managers should not plan on having Purdy this weekend, as it looks like another week of backup Mac Jones running the offense. Purdy has been a massive fantasy disappointment so far in 2025, playing in only two games due to his turf-toe injury.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie two-way star Travis Hunter (knee) was added to the Week 9 injury report on Thursday and was limited in practice with a knee issue after he put in a full practice on Wednesday, according to J.P. Shadrick. It's not clear if Hunter was injured in Thursday's practice or if the Jaguars were giving him a little rest coming out of their bye week, but either way, fantasy managers will be watching closely when Jacksonville releases its final injury report on Friday. As of now, the Heisman Trophy winner should be considered questionable to play this Sunday for a Week 9 meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders on the road. Head coach Liam Coen has hinted that Hunter will become a bigger part of the passing attack in the second half of the season, potentially elevating him to the WR1 role over Brian Thomas Jr. However, this knee injury could halt those plans, at least temporarily.

Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks (calf) popped up on the Week 9 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Mid-week additions to the injury report are usually not a good sign, but we should have a better idea of Marks' status for Week 9 against the Denver Broncos on Sunday after the Texans release their final injury report for the week on Friday. The 24-year-old has become a bigger part of the team's offense in recent weeks, especially in the passing game, making him an RB3/flex consideration in PPR formats. However, he's now looking questionable to play this weekend after popping up on the injury report with his calf injury. If Marks cannot play on Sunday, or if he's limited, it would mean more work for veteran Nick Chubb out of the backfield. Dare Ogunbowale would be in line for RB2 duties as well.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (calf) continued to be limited in practice on Thursday due to a calf injury. McConkey has put in two limited practices this week as the team prepares for a Week 9 road matchup on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. The second-year pass-catcher could be removed from the weekly injury report if he practices in full on Friday, and as of now, he should be considered to be on the right side of questionable to play this weekend. The 23-year-old has picked things up of late after a slow start in 2025, and he has found the end zone in three of his last four games, suddenly leapfrogging Quentin Johnston as quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to passing target. The Chargers may not need to throw much this Sunday in Tennessee, but if he's active, McConkey needs to be in all starting fantasy football lineups, given how strong he's been recently.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) is missing his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday due to a concussion that he suffered in the Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Mims still has one more day to try and get back on the practice field, but as of now, things aren't looking good for him getting cleared to play this Sunday in Houston against the Texans. The 23-year-old continues to be a boom-or-bust WR4/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues in Denver's offense in 2025, having posted only two double-digit-point performances in half-PPR scoring through eight weeks. Mims also has five games where he's recorded under 5.0 half-PPR points. Second-year wideout Troy Franklin has been more consistent than Mims, is coming off a two-touchdown game, and will be the primary beneficiary if Mims is inactive this weekend.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) is missing another practice on Thursday, but head coach DeMeco Ryans said that he "expects him to return later this week," according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Sports. Schultz has yet to practice this week, but it sounds like the team expects the 29-year-old to return to Friday's practice. That doesn't ensure that he'll be active this Sunday when the team hosts the Denver Broncos in Week 9, but it will at least give him a chance to play this weekend. The good news for Houston is that top receiver Nico Collins (concussion) says he's ready to return after missing the Week 8 win over the San Francisco 49ers due to a concussion, and the Texans could also be getting wideout Christian Kirk (hamstring) back. After a season-best nine-catch, 98-yard performance in Week 7, Schultz came back down to earth last week, catching just two passes for 24 yards. If he's active, Schultz is merely a TE2 option in fantasy against a strong Broncos defense.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) remained out of practice on Thursday, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. Pearsall hasn't practiced with the team since spraining the PCL in his knee back in Week 4, but he was running routes on a side field, so he's making some progress. Still, the 25-year-old former first-rounder will not be able to return this weekend when the team takes on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. It's unclear if Pearsall will make enough progress to be an option to make his return for a big Week 10 divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Nov. 9, but even if he does, he'll likely be on a snap count and would be an extremely risky fantasy play. With Pearsall likely out again in Week 9, Jauan Jennings will continue to operate as the Niners' WR1, with Kendrick Bourne serving as the No. 2.
