Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted eight receptions for 129 yards on nine targets in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders, while posting a single rushing attempt for 11 yards. He is the fifth player in the Super Bowl era with at least 75 yards in each of his first eight games, joining Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen (2018), Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown (2014), Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Irvin (1995) and San Francisco 49ers TE Dwight Clark (1982).

Dynasty | 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey had 106 rushing yards, five catches, 67 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Giants. Dynasty Analysis: McCaffrey isn't getting as much attention as he honestly should this year with Jonathan Taylor putting up career numbers. However, he's been as dominant as ever and consistently puts up monster numbers whenever he's healthy. The future Hall of Famer can't have his value really rise based on his age but he's the ultimate buy for a contending dynasty manager.

Dynasty | Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson had 55 rushing yards, four catches and 32 receiving yards in a win against the Falcons. Dynasty Analysis: In the most frustrating of all fashions, Henderson saw Terrell Jennings siphon a rushing touchdown off his stat sheet this week. It was a decent week for Henderson with Rhamondre Stevenson out with an injury, but hardly the breakout so many dynasty managers hoped for. At this point, Henderson truly looks like a committee back and his ADP and ranking are going to continue to slide until they match that fully.

Dynasty | Panthers running back Rico Dowdle had 130 rushing yards, two catches, 11 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Packers. Dynasty Analysis: More importantly, Dowdle out-touched Chuba Hubbard 27-5. There's no way around this now - Dowdle has taken over the Panthers backfield and this isn't a timeshare, folks. With at least 130 rushing yards in three of his past five games, Dowdle has established himself as the engine of the Panthers offense. His emergence is creating a real quagmire in dynasty leagues as he looks like a potential league winner but is also on a one-year contract. Dynasty managers in the mix should look to add him but his future is really tough to predict beyond this season.

Dynasty | Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 15-of-24 passes for 176 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a loss to the Rams. Dynasty Analysis: Shough wasn't great for the now 1-8 Saints but he wasn't awful, either. The Rams just hammered New Orleans from the start and Shough didn't have much of a chance. Still, he looked a little better than Spencer Rattler had thus far, so that's something to build on. Shough will look to build on this one and attempt to establish himself as the future in New Orleans moving forward. His ADP and ranking are secure and won't move up or down much after this one.

Dynasty | Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai ran for 176 yards and added three catches for 22 more yards in a win against the Bengals. Dynasty Analysis: Yes, the Bengals defense is terrible. However, Monangai stated a clear case to be the "1B" to D'Andre Swift's "1A" upon Swift's return. Repeatedly shedding defenders, Monangai was a freight train in his first NFL start and his ADP and rookie ranking will skyrocket as a result. This was just one game, but also a huge one in terms of his value.

Washington Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols carried the ball once for no gain in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. He was not targeted in the passing game.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Raheem Mostert had one reception for 14 yards versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. It was his only target, and he did not have a carry.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas caught five of his seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's thrilling 47-42 loss to the Chicago Bears. Iosivas has had a relatively quiet season as the Bengals' WR3, but has played a role in the offense over the last five weeks with at least three targets in each of those games. The 26-year-old didn't catch any of his three targets in last week's loss to the Jets, but recorded a similar five-catch for 82 yards on seven targets performance in Week 5 against the Lions when Jake Browning was still the starter. Iosivas has also notched at least one reception in all but one game this season. The Bengals' offense has been humming with 41-year-old Joe Flacco as the starter, and on days like Sunday when Flacco attempts 47 passes, there will be opportunities for Iosivas to make plays.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled 16 carries for 31 yards and two touchdowns while adding two catches for minus-two yards in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Warren found the end zone twice on the day for the first time in his career, but was bottled up on his touches otherwise. The 16 carries were also tied for the second most Warren had ever had in a game, but it was one of his most inefficient outings as the Colts' run defense shut off rushing lanes. The 27-year-old has established himself as the Steelers' workhorse and a focal point of their offense. Aaron Rodgers frequently looks for him on checkdowns, where Warren is electric after the catch. Warren should continue to project as a high-end RB2 for fantasy in the coming weeks.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught nine of his 12 targets for 115 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Colts' offense was out of sync the entire game, committing a back-breaking six turnovers and averaging a season-low 5.0 yards per play. Pittman benefited from a rare negative game script from the Colts; however, with a season high in receptions, yards, and targets. The 28-year-old has been an integral piece to Indianapolis' historic offense and has bounced back in a big way from his injury-riddled 2024 season. Pittman has caught 52 of 68 targets for 561 yards and six touchdowns in eight games this season. The Colts' WR1 continues to be a draft-day bargain and should remain a high-end fantasy producer for the remainder of the season.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught eight of his nine targets for 129 yards in Sunday night's 38-14 win over the Washington Commanders. Smith-Njigba continues his historic season with his fourth straight game recording at least 120 receiving yards. The 23-year-old superstar joined Hall of Famer Isaac Bruce as the only players under age 25 with 900 or more receiving yards in the first eight games of a season. His connection with quarterback Sam Darnold has been lethal and has helped lead the Seattle Seahawks to a 6-2 record. Seattle's passing volume is not high, but JSN has consolidated all of the targets and has fully ascended to superstar status. Smith-Njigba will remain a top-three fantasy option in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton hauled in all four of his targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday night's blowout win against the Washington Commanders. Horton scored the first two touchdowns of the night for Seattle, giving him five now on the season and tying Tampa Bay Buccaneers' rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka for the most among first-year receivers. The rookie out of Colorado State took advantage of his opportunities with multiple other Seattle wide receivers sidelined for this matchup against Washington's poor defense. Horton looks like a legitimate flex option moving forward if Cooper Kupp (heel, hamstring) were to miss any more time.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold torched the Washington Commanders' defense in a 38-14 blowout win on Sunday night, completing 21 of 24 pass attempts for 330 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. Darnold was on fire to start the game, posting a perfect 158.3 passer rating while completing all 16 passes and throwing four touchdowns in the first half. His receivers were running open all night, and he consistently delivered on time and on target. The 28-year-old has continued to excel in his first season in Seattle under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Darnold's connection with superstar wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been the most potent in the league, adding another 129 yards on eight catches on Sunday night against Washington. Darnold will head back home for a divisional matchup against the Cardinals in Week 10.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz caught four passes for a team-high 46 yards in a 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9.

Fantasy Spin: The 46 yards were Ertz's most since Week 2, and with Jayden Daniels suffering an injury, Ertz could be headed for a quiet stretch. He is a touchdown-dependent fantasy play at this point.

From TheHuddle

Buffalo Bills DE Joey Bosa managed three solo stops, including two of the solo variety, with a sack, two tackles for loss and a game-high five quarterback hits in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

From TheHuddle

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce caught five of his six targets for 66 yards in a 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.

Fantasy Spin: Kelce has put together a string of solid performance, and he has now topped 50 receiving yards in five straight games. The veteran's numbers remain more than respectable for the tight end position, and Kelce is turning in another TE1 campaign.

From TheHuddle

Buffalo Bills WRs Curtis Samuel and Tyrell Shavers each had one catch on one target in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Samuel's catch was for six yards, and Shaver had one grab for seven yards.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (arm) suffered a gruesome left-arm injury in the fourth quarter of the Sunday Night Football game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9 and walked off the field with his arm in a brace, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. At the very least, Daniels is going to miss multiple weeks, and possibly the rest of the 2025 season, depending on what the test results show. Veteran Marcus Mariota entered the game to replace Daniels and will be in line to start under center for the Commanders for the foreseeable future. Before the unfortunate injury, Daniels went 16-for-22 passing for 153 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception while adding 10 carries for 51 yards on the ground and a touchdown. Check back for updates on Daniels' status on Sunday night and Monday morning.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt rushed 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught a six-yard pass in a 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.

Fantasy Spin: With Isiah Pacheco sidelined, Hunt handled a majority of the carries. He had some success, but the Chiefs were playing from behind for much of the game. His biggest asset this year has been his nose for the end zone, and he now has six touchdowns in the last seven games. Even when Pacheco returns, Hunt can considered a flex play.
