In the Philadelphia Eagles' final game before their Week 9 bye, star running back Saquon Barkley (groin) was forced to exit the game early due to a groin injury. That opened up an opportunity for Eagles back Tank Bigsby, who rushed for 104 yards on nine carries after taking over for Barkley. Immediately after Philadelphia's Week 8 game concluded, Barkley told reporters he expected to be ready for Week 10. Still, Bigsby could play a larger role in the Eagles' offense if Barkley is limited or his injury proves to be more serious than initially expected. Bigsby should be a waiver-wire target of fantasy managers in leagues with 12 or more teams heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had his best game of the season in his team's 47-42 Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, recording six catches for 58 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. The 28-year-old has now hauled in 31 receptions for 243 yards and a score on 46 targets. Most notably, 15 of Zaccheaus' targets have come over the last two weeks. That uptick in production appears to be directly linked to the absence of Luther Burden III (concussion), who suffered a concussion early in Week 8 and was sidelined in Week 9. If Burden III remains sidelined in Week 10 for Chicago's matchup against the New York Giants, Zaccheaus could once again play a key role in his team's offense. Zaccheaus should be a waiver-wire target for fantasy managers in PPR-scoring leagues with 12 or more teams.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike recorded a 67-yard punt return for a touchdown in Week 9 but was otherwise held in check, finishing the game with one catch for five yards on three targets. Dike had recorded 11 catches for 163 yards and a touchdown over his last two games heading into the week, so his Week 9 production was a bit of a letdown for fantasy managers. Still, the 23-year-old's playing time is trending in the right direction, as he's now played at least 87% of Tennessee's offensive snaps in each of its last two games. Dike appears to be emerging as a key weapon for Titans quarterback Cameron Ward. Tennessee's overall struggles as an offense limit Dike's fantasy ceiling, but he should still be rostered in all leagues with 12 or more teams as the Titans hit their Week 10 bye.

The Baltimore Ravens are acquiring edge rusher Dre'Mont Jones from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Jones has recorded 4.5 sacks and nine QB hits across nine games with Tennessee so far this season. The 28-year-old has recorded 35 career sacks across 99 career NFL games (61 starts). Jones should immediately play an important role for a Ravens defense that has started to round into form as it has gotten healthier in recent weeks. For the rebuilding Titans, second-year edge rusher Jaylen Harrell should see more playing time now that Jones is no longer in the mix.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) was listed as a non-participant during Monday's estimated practice. Mims suffered a concussion during the Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys. As a result, Mims wasn't able to practice all week and sat out in Week 9. Now, there's a decent chance Mims isn't ready to play in Week 10 with a quick turnaround against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday. There is still time for Mims to get cleared, but he's not trending in the right direction. Both Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin figure to both gain value if Mims is unable to play

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was expected to have an increased role this weekend with Cam Skattebo (ankle) sidelined for the rest of the season. Singletary was expected to play a backup role to Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the backfield. However, Singletary ended up seeing the most carries in the backfield this past weekend. Singletary rushed eight times for 43 yards, while hauling in two receptions for eight yards in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. His 5.3 yards per carry should help Singletary earn a bigger role in the backfield going forward. It's tough to call Singletary a viable streaming choice, but he's someone to watch heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson continues to ease his way back into this offense. On Sunday, Watson hauled in two of his four targets for 58 yards in the loss to the Carolina Panthers. Watson made his season debut in Week 8 after missing the beginning of the season while recovering from a torn ACL. In Week 9, Watson played 66 percent of the offensive snaps which is 10 percent higher than the week prior. His role in the offense is likely going to increase with both Tucker Kraft (knee) and Matthew Golden (shoulder) suffering injuries this weekend. Watson could move into flex territory for the Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner was able to find the end zone once again during Sunday's win over the Washington Commanders. Barner hauled in three of his four targets for 24 yards through the air. His biggest contribution came when he took a direct snap in the third quarter and ran into the end zone for a touchdown. Barner has now scored a touchdown in three of his last five games. The 23-year-old continues splitting up time with Elijah Arroyo, which limits his value. Despite that, Barner has done enough on the field lately to warrant a look as a streaming option for Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell (eye, lower body) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Sewell didn't end up missing any time from that contest, but left it a little banged up. Head coach Dan Campbell said afterwards that Sewell would likely miss practice time this week due to a lower-body injury. It's possible that Sewell sits out in Week 10, but that'll be determined on how he practices this week.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing free-agent wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad. The Steelers are looking to upgrade at wide receiver ahead of the trade deadline. The 31-year-old isn't a star wideout, but could be decent depth for this roster. He had a minor role on the San Francisco 49ers roster earlier in the season, but now looks to help his former teammate, quarterback Aaron Rodgers, in Pittsburgh. Valdes-Scantling will likely only be used as depth, but could end up with a minor role on game days.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that rookie first-round defensive end Shemar Stewart (knee) is dealing with a knee injury and is considered week-to-week heading into the team's Week 10 bye, according to Ben Baby of ESPN. Stewart was injured in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears and was ruled out towards the end of the game. The 21-year-old's injury comes at a good time as the team heads into their bye, but he'll still be up in the air to return for their Week 11 meeting against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 16. The 17th overall pick in April's draft has only played in five games (four starts) so far in his first year in the NFL and is still searching for his first sack. Stewart has only six tackles (two solo) for a Bengals defense that continues to give up points in bunches each week.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue and wide receiver Jonathan Mingo are both healthy scratches for the team's Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer was very critical of Blue following the Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos, in which Blue had a costly fumble. The 21-year-old will now be inactive this week in favor of Malik Davis as Dallas' RB2 behind starter Javonte Williams. It's a step back for Blue, who didn't make his NFL debut until Week 5 for the Cowboys. In his four games played, the fifth-rounder out of Texas has carried the ball 22 times for 65 yards (3.0 yards per carry) while adding one catch for five yards. While Blue probably won't be in the doghouse for the rest of the season, he's in street clothes on Monday night and has currently lost out on the RB2 role in Dallas.

FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz reports that the Dallas Cowboys have spoken to the Cincinnati Bengals on defensive end Trey Hendrickson and linebacker Logan Wilson, and to the Miami Dolphins on outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, with Tuesday's trade deadline quickly approaching. Schultz says that Dallas has had talks with other teams, too, as they look to bolster a defense that has been bad since trading away All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons before the season. "At least one deal is getting done somewhere," a source said. Not only is Hendrickson currently dealing with a hip injury that kept him out of the Week 9 loss to the Chicago Bears, but the Bengals are still seeking a first-rounder in return for him, so of the three names the Cowboys are eyeing, Hendrickson is the least likely to land with the Cowboys.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday that the "plan is to stick with" struggling kicker Brandon McManus, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. LaFleur also said that McManus is "definitely" working through some things health-wise, but the Packers have rolled with him the last two games because of what they've seen in practice. The 34-year-old came out of the team's Week 5 bye with a quad injury that sidelined him in Weeks 6 and 7. He returned to kick in Week 8, but McManus hasn't been himself the last two games, making just four of his seven field-goal attempts and connecting on all four of his extra-point tries. His miss from 43 yards out on Sunday was costly, as the Packers lost to the Carolina Panthers by only three points. The Packers will stick with him for a Monday night showdown in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but fantasy managers should be looking to avoid him in that one.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that the team will not open wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) 21-day practice window this week, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Shanahan mentioned recently that Aiyuk was getting closer to returning to practice, but apparently it won't be this week. The 27-year-old has been on the Physically Unable to Perform list all year after tearing his ACL and MCL on Oct. 20 last year. San Fran is still holding out hope that the former first-rounder will be able to help them this year, but fantasy managers stashing Aiyuk shouldn't be as confident that he'll be able to help out in 2025. In addition to Aiyuk, the Niners have been without Ricky Pearsall (knee) since Week 4 due to a sprained PCL. Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, and Demarcus Robinson have been the team's starting receivers in three-wide sets in recent weeks.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught two passes for 10 yards on two targets in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Okonkwo was active despite being limited in practice with a foot injury most of the week. The 26-year-old has fallen short of three targets on two occasions over the last three weeks. On Sunday, Okonkwo was limited to five yards per reception, the third-lowest this season. Okonkwo has only finished as a top-eight tight end once through the first nine weeks and still hasn't scored a touchdown this year. The Titans are heading into a crucial bye week that could lead to changes aimed at improving their offense. Managers should consider benching Okonkwo after the bye week, when the Titans host the Houston Texans in Week 11.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) has a "chance to play" in the Week 10 divisional tilt against the Los Angeles Rams, but he will be evaluated during the week, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Pearsall has not practiced or played since suffering a PCL sprain in his knee back in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 25-year-old is going to have to get back onto the practice field first, so he'll once again be very questionable to make his return this weekend. And if the former first-rounder does play against the Rams, he'll be a shaky WR4/flex for fantasy managers who is at risk of having his snaps monitored. If Pearsall misses yet another game, the Niners will move forward with Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, and Demarcus Robinson as their top three wideouts.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is officially inactive for Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. Murray came into Monday's game with a questionable tag, but the Cardinals were saying there was a chance he'd be active as the backup to veteran Jacoby Brissett. The 28-year-old has not practiced in full since suffering a mid-foot sprain back in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans, though, so they will err on the side of caution and keep him out for a third straight game coming out of their bye week. Murray will need to get in a full day of practice next week to be cleared to return in Week 10 versus the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. In addition to missing time with his foot injury, Murray has been a big fantasy disappointment, and he'll be a low-end QB1, at best, if he's able to return next week against a stout Seattle defense.

The Washington Commanders aren't expecting wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) to play in the Week 10 contest against the Detroit Lions, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. "I don't foresee (Terry McLaurin) making it for this weekend. Knowing it's game-game-bye, that has an effect. But I don't have a timetable today," head coach Dan Quinn said. McLaurin suffered a quad injury in Week 4 and missed four games. When he returned in Week 8, the 30-year-old veteran aggravated the injury, and now he appears set to miss a second straight game this coming Sunday. The Commanders have their bye in Week 12, so it's entirely possible that we don't see McLaurin again until Week 13 on Sunday Night Football against the Denver Broncos. In addition to McLaurin's injury, Washington may have lost quarterback Jayden Daniels on Sunday night to a dislocated left elbow. McLaurin's 2025 season so far has been a bust due to injuries, and he has only one touchdown on 13 receptions for 203 yards in four games.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur called rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) day-to-day on Monday after he suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. It's not a long-term injury for Golden, but how much he's able to do at practice this week will determine whether he's able to suit up in Week 10 on Monday Night Football in a showdown against the defending-champion Philadelphia Eagles. The 22-year-old pass-catcher caught two of his three targets for only nine yards on Sunday before getting injured, so he was a bust for any fantasy managers who started him in Week 9. There have been glimpses of the star potential that Golden has in 2025, but he hasn't been able to put it all together yet. The good news is that he should have a bigger role going forward with tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) now done for the year due to a torn ACL.
