Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) injured the meniscus in his knee in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers and had surgery, forcing him to Injured Reserve. Bensons was initially given a four- to six-week timeline to return after having surgery. He remains on IR and will miss his fourth straight game when the Cardinals take on the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night in Week 9. Benson will be eligible to return for the Week 10 contest against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks, but it's unclear if that is in play for the second-year back. "He's doing well. He's getting better," head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Saturday. Once the Cardinals designate Benson to return from IR and he rejoins the team at practice, they will have 21 days to officially activate him back to the active roster. He was the team's leading rusher with 160 yards on 29 carries through four games before getting hurt. Until Benson can return, the Cardinals will go with a timeshare between Bam Knight and Michael Carter at RB.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters on Monday that veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) "will be practicing this week," according to Eric Allen of NewYorkJets.com. Glenn remains mum on who will be the team's starting QB coming out of their bye to face the Cleveland Browns this Sunday in Week 10. The Jets were leaning toward starting Taylor in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals before he came down with a knee injury, forcing Fields into another start. Fields led the Jets to their first win of 2025, going 21-for-32 passing for 244 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions while adding 31 rushing yards on 11 carries. It seemed as though Fields did enough to get another shot as the starter following the team's Week 9 bye, but apparently, New York isn't sold. If Taylor makes his first start of the year this Sunday, he'd be an unattractive, low-end QB2, at best, against a Browns defense that is the strength of their team.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is unlikely to practice at the start of this week after he injured his hamstring in the one-point win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9, according to Chad Graff of The Athletic. Boutte's status for the Week 10 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is "up in the air." The 23-year-old was looking to score for the fourth straight game on Sunday, but instead, he finished with zero catches on just one target before leaving the contest and not returning. Fantasy managers should have a better idea of Boutte's Week 10 status later this week, but as of right now, he's questionable, at best. DeMario Douglas, who had his first 100-yard game and scored against Atlanta, would be in flex territory in fantasy as the WR2 for the Pats against Tampa if Boutte is eventually ruled out.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Monday that wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) "will be participating in practice this week," according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. Wilson hasn't played since hyperextending his knee in London back on Oct. 12 in a loss to the Denver Broncos, but the 25-year-old appears to be feeling better with the team coming off their bye in Week 9. It's great news that Wilson is expected to get back onto the practice field this week, but it doesn't guarantee he'll be active for a Week 10 contest against the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. Creating more uncertainty for Wilson's fantasy value this week is the fact that the Jets might still be deciding who they are going to start at quarterback between Justin Fields and veteran Tyrod Taylor (knee). Wilson could be limited if he returns this weekend, too, which would make him more of a WR3/flex option for fantasy managers if he suits up against the Browns.

Dynasty | Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has reportedly suffered a dislocated left elbow. Dynasty Analysis: The injury happened late in a 38-14 loss to Seattle when the result was clearly out of reach. Daniels went down and his left (non-throwing) arm went in what can only be described as an un-natural direction. We're awaiting to see an official diagnosis but it's quite possible he misses the rest of the regular season, especially if the Commanders fall out of contention. Daniels' ADP is going to suffer greatly this time as it's fair to now wonder just how his frame can hold up in the NFL long-term.

Dynasty | Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 21-of-24 passes for 330 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in a blowout win over Washington. Dynasty Analysis: Darnold now has 2,084 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and just five interceptions through eight games this year. He's right on pace to record similar numbers he posted in Minnesota last year in what was a career season. In short, Darnold has arrived. While his rushing stats will always hold down his fantasy ceiling, Darnold clearly looks like a QB1 for the foreseeable future with no drop-off in sight.

Dynasty | Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey broke his collarbone in a week nine loss to the Seahawks, likely ending his season. Dynasty Analysis: McCaffrey will likely now end his Sophomore season with an 11/203/3 line. While nobody expected him to be his brother Christian, Luke really hasn't shown a ton in his two years in Washington, especially considering how many injuries have happened in front of him that have given him ample playing time. McCaffrey is a fringe roster player in dynasty leagues at this point.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that the Cincinnati Bengals are still requesting a first-round pick in return for star pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson (hip). The Hendrickson-Bengals saga has been ongoing since the offseason as the 30-year-old looks to sign a lucrative, long-term deal on the back of back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons. Hendrickson hasn't been his usual, uber-productive self, but either way, the Bengals still want a hefty return for their top defensive player. Currently, the asking price appears to be slightly above what teams are willing to pay. However, Russini also notes that Cincinnati continues to get calls "about a number of their players." It's unclear if a deal will get done, but Hendrickson's hip injury may deter teams from doing so. He's missed two of their last three outings and hasn't logged a full practice since Week 6.

Tests on Monday confirmed that Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's a massive blow to the Packers and fantasy managers, as Kraft was in the midst of a breakout campaign in 2025. The 25-year-old former third-round pick will now finish his third year in the NFL with 32 catches on 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight games played. Kraft was coming off a massive seven-catch, 143-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Week 8 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Kraft now done for the year, Luke Musgrave becomes a waiver-wire target for fantasy managers in need of help at the TE position. Receivers Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden should also see more targets in the passing game going forward.

Per the team, the Cleveland Browns have activated the practice window for wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring). Defensive back Damontae Kazee was released in a corresponding move. Tillman picked up a hamstring injury in Cleveland's Week 4 loss to the Lions that sent him directly to injured reserve. As of now, the team will have 21 days to activate him. The Browns can undoubtedly use another option out wide, as the offense has been stagnant under rookie signal-caller Dillon Gabriel. The situation in Cleveland isn't ideal, though, as Gabriel has barely been able to support one fantasy-relevant pass-catcher. Moreover, it isn't out of the question that fellow rookie QB Shedeur Sanders (back) eventually gets a shot to make the offense his own. Tillman is a decent grab-and-stash option for now. However, he isn't as tantalizing a play as he was earlier this season with veteran Joe Flacco at the helm.

Despite falling to the Chicago Bears 47-42, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco lit it up again in Week 9, further solidifying his case to be a weekly option for fantasy managers. The University of Delaware product has been otherworldly since the Browns flipped him to Cincinnati. Over that four-game stretch, Flacco has accrued 1,254 passing yards (313.5 p/g) and an 11:2 TD:INT ratio across a 64.7% completion rate. Cincinnati has unfortunately dropped three of those four contests, but the veteran has been excellent for fantasy. Since Week 6, Flacco has racked up a scintillating 25.4 fantasy points per outing, with only the Chargers' Justin Herbert ahead of him (25.9). As it stands, fantasy managers could do worse than the 40-year-old as a streaming option. Furthermore, he's justifying becoming an every-week starter. Cincinnati will take on the Steelers again in Week 10. Flacco torched them a few weeks back for 342 passing yards and three scores.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson rushed six times for 16 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He gained an additional yard on 1-of-2 receiving. The third-year pro was coming off a season-high in touches (14) and yards (87), but saw his work decline back to baseline while also ceding snaps to backfield mate Chris Brooks. Coincidentally, the latter didn't see a carry, although he was more effective on his two targets (2/24), and played on double-digit snaps for the second time in 2025. Wilson figures to retain his role as the handcuff to own in Green Bay. However, Sunday was a stark reminder that, when he's fully healthy, this is the Josh Jacobs show. There's room for Wilson's role to expand, considering Jacobs has been under 60% of snaps in three straight contests. Still, he won't provide much standalone value unless the veteran's calf issue lingers.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had one of his better games of the 2025 season in Week 9, recording four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on six targets in his team's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Williams has been a frustrating player for fantasy managers this season, as he has hauled in 21 catches for 355 yards and three scores on 36 targets across eight games. Still, the 24-year-old has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three games. The main issue for Williams remains his non-existent floor, as the other game in that three-game stretch was a zero-catch performance. Williams remains a boom/bust flex option for fantasy managers heading into a potentially favorable Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

With backfield mate Isiah Pacheco (knee) inactive for Week 9's 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt led the team's ground game. The veteran tied a season-high with 49 rushing yards on 11 totes, adding six yards on 1-of-2 receiving. Hunt punched in another short touchdown in this one, giving him three across his last two appearances and six on the season as a whole. While his efficiency hasn't been off the charts, the Toledo product has rushed for at least 4.4 yards per clip in four of his previous five games. Furthermore, he's the most likely option on his team aside from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to find pay dirt on the ground. Pacheco is expected to return following Kansas City's Week 10 bye. However, Hunt projects to lead the backfield again if he doesn't. It will be a situation to keep tabs on over the coming week.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce recorded six catches for 115 yards on a career-high 13 targets in his team's Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pierce has now earned double-digit targets in two out of his last three games and has reached at least 67 receiving yards in five out of the seven games he's been healthy for this season. The 25-year-old has established himself as one of the NFL's premier downfield weapons, as he's currently leading the league in yards per reception (20.9) for the second straight season. Additionally, Pierce's recent bump in target volume could be a sign that the Colts are trusting him to be a more well-rounded wide receiver. It's worth noting that Colts quarterback Daniel Jones attempted 50 passes in Week 9, a trend unlikely to continue. Still, Pierce profiles as a high-upside fantasy WR3/4 and could be a player to target on the waiver wire heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin had a modest game in his team's Week 9 win over the Houston Texans, recording four catches for 27 yards. However, Franklin led the team in targets (10) for the second straight week. Perhaps most notably, Franklin has now matched or exceeded the target volume of presumed Broncos WR1 Courtland Sutton in four consecutive games. Across nine games in 2025, Franklin has hauled in 37 catches for 385 yards and four touchdowns on 64 targets, two more targets than Sutton has seen (62) across the same number of games. In any fantasy leagues where Franklin is not already rostered, he's a priority waiver-wire target due to his emerging role in Denver heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton had the best game of his young career in his team's Week 9 win over the Washington Commanders, hauling in four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns on four targets. The 22-year-old has just 13 catches for 161 yards across eight games this season, but he's already scored five touchdowns. In Week 9, Horton took advantage of the playing time opportunity opened up by injuries to Seattle wideouts Cooper Kupp (heel, hamstring), Jake Bobo (Achilles), and Dareke Young (quad). Kupp's return will make it more difficult for Horton to earn targets, and Seattle already has a major target hog in star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Still, Horton has flashed big-play upside and deserves a look from fantasy managers on the waiver wire, particularly if Kupp's injuries keep him out for an extended stretch. Seattle will host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland finally had the breakout game fantasy managers have been waiting for in Week 9, recording six catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets in his team's 47-42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 21-year-old has now hauled in 17 receptions for 234 yards and two scores on 25 targets across his first seven NFL games. Bears tight end Cole Kmet (concussion) was forced to leave the game early due to a concussion, which certainly helped Loveland play a career-high 65 offensive snaps. Still, Loveland's usage and target share are trending in the right direction for his fantasy production as Chicago hits the second half of its season. The Bears have a favorable matchup in Week 10 against the New York Giants, so Loveland could profile as a top-12 fantasy tight end if Kmet is unable to play. Either way, Loveland is a player to target on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues where he remains available.

From RotoBaller

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai had a monster game filling in for the injured D'Andre Swift (groin) in Week 9. Monangai recorded 198 scrimmage yards on 29 touches in his team's 49-42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Swift's injury is not expected to keep him out long-term, so fantasy managers should not expect Monangai to see 20-plus touches every week. However, the rookie was closing the gap between the backs even before Swift went down. In Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens, Swift played 31 offensive snaps while Monangai was just behind him at 29. Monangai is currently averaging 5.3 yards per rush attempt, so his efficiency may make it difficult to keep him off the field. In fantasy leagues where he remains available, Monangai should be a priority waiver-wire target heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against the New York Giants.

The Washington Commanders are fearful that cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee) suffered a torn ACL during the team's 38-14 Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, according to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Lattimore's injury is another potentially brutal blow for Washington, which also lost quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) to a dislocated elbow during the game. Across nine games this season, Lattimore has recorded 16 solo tackles, seven passes defensed, and one interception. Pro Football Focus grades Lattimore 86th out of 108 qualified cornerbacks this season, but the four-time Pro-Bowler is still a key piece of the Commanders' defense. If Lattimore misses extended time, Antonio Hamilton Sr. and Jonathan Jones are the likely candidates to replace him in Washington. The Commanders will host the Detroit Lions in Week 10.
