[DAL - RB Ezekiel Elliott cleared to play]( Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Dallas Cowboys RB [Ezekiel Elliott]( received a stay from the 2nd Circuit of Appeals Friday, Nov. 3, which makes him eligible to play in Week 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Get him back in your lineup and Alfred Morris out. There will be a hearing on the merits, possibly as soon as next week, so we can't count on Elliott playing in Week 10. If his suspension is reinstated next week, he will not return until Week 16. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [WAS - QB Kirk Cousins leads shorthanded offense]() Source: ESPN.com - Field Yates Washington Redskins QB [Kirk Cousins]( will be facing the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9, but he will not have two tight ends, two starting offensive linemen, a key reserve lineman and he might also be missing his top wide receiver. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Seahawks will be without Earl Thomas and Sheldon Richardson, Jeremy Lane and Bobby Wagner are questionable, but the losses on Washington's side are much more significant. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [KC - Two young WRs could see bigger role]() Source: The Kansas City Star - Blair Kerkhoff Kansas City Chiefs WRs [Jehu Chesson]( and [Demarcus Robinson]( could be in for larger roles in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys with WR [Albert Wilson]( (hamstring) out. Head coach Andy Reid said Friday, Nov. 3, the team is unlikely to summon help from the practice squad. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Robinson had a productive game against the Raiders and the Broncos matchup last week was a tough one for wide receivers. He's a viable desperation WR3/Flex because of the matchup against the Cowboys and the potential for a high-scoring game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [SF - San Fran injury report for Week 9](=) Source: 49ers.com San Francisco 49ers WR [Pierre Garcon]( (neck), OT Garry Gilliam (knee), LB D.J. Jones (knee), DL Aaron Lynch (calf), OT Joe Staley (eye), DL Solomon Thomas (knee) and CB K'Waun Williams (quadriceps) did not practice and are out for Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. LB Reuben Foster (ankle, ribs) was limited in practice and he is questionable. RB [Matt Breida]( (knee), OT Trent Brown (concussion), LB Brock Coyle (shoulder), LB Elvis Dumervil (non-injury related), OG Brandon Fusco (biceps) and S Eric Reid (knee) practiced in full and were removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Foster may try to give it a go again this week, but he hasn't been the same since an early season ankle injury. Thomas, Lynch, and Williams are also significant losses on defense, and Staley is the cornerstone of the line. The 49ers are already among the worst teams in the league and they will be shorthanded against the Cardinals this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [DET - WR Kenny Golladay out again]( Source: DetroitLions.com Detroit Lions WR [Kenny Golladay]( (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 3. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] TJ Jones will be a desperation WR3/Flex coming off of a 4-88 line against the Steelers last week. The Packers secondary is vulnerable, so Jones is viable. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [TB - Tampa Bay injury report for Week 9]() Source: Buccaneers.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Brent Grimes (shoulder) did not practice Friday, Nov. 3, and he is listed as out for Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. DE Robert Ayers (ankle) and LB Kendell Beckwith (knee) were listed as limited participants and are considering questionable. DT [Chris Baker]( (ankle), WR [Adam Humphries]( (ribs) and QB [Jameis Winston]( (shoulder) each practiced in full and are also questionable, while CB Robert McClain (concussion) and CB Joshua Robinson (concussion) practiced in full and were removed from the report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Grimes being out will upgrade the matchup for Ted Ginn and Michael Thomas at times. The Buccaneers defense continues to play without at least one key player a week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [MIA - QB Jay Cutler questionable](=) Source: The Miami Herald - Armando Salguero Miami Dolphins QB [Jay Cutler]( (ribs) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 3, but is listed as questionable for Week 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cutler is actually a viable bye week coverage play facing a decimated Oakland secondary and with no viable starting quality back in his backfield after Jay Ajayi was traded. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [KC - Week 9 injury report for Kansas City]( Source: Chiefs.com Kansas City Chiefs LB Dee Ford (back) and WR [Albert Wilson]( (hamstring) did not practice at all this week and have been ruled out for Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys. LB Justin Houston (knee) did not practice Friday, Nov. 3, after getting in limited sessions the previous two days and is listed as questionable. TE [Demetrius Harris]( (shoulder), OG Bryan Witzmann (abdomen), OG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (knee), DT Bennie Logan (knee) and C Mitch Morse (foot) all participated fully in practice Friday and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Demarcus Robinson will be the #2 receiver again with Wilson out, which puts him in the desperation WR3/Flex tier. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [BAL - WR Jeremy Maclin listed as questionable]( Source: BaltimoreRavens.com Baltimore Ravens WR [Jeremy Maclin]( (shoulder) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 3, and is listed as questionable for Week 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Maclin should play and might be Joe Flacco's #1 target against the Titans. He's a desperation WR3/Flex this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [WAS - WR Jamison Crowder likely to sit Week 9]() Source: ESPN.com - John Keim Washington Redskins WR [Jamison Crowder]( (hamstring) is listed as questionable on the team's Week 9 injury report, but told reporters Friday, Nov. 3, he doesn't want to aggravate his hamstring injury any further and 'have it linger the rest of the season.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Even if Crowder is active, he might not play very much. Washington has so many injured players that they are likely to have some active players who aren't going to play. He's too risky to trust in Week 9. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [TEN - TE Delanie Walker questionable](=) Source: TitansOnline.com - Jim Wyatt Tennessee Titans TE [Delanie Walker]( (ankle) returned to practice on a limited basis Friday, Nov. 3, and is listed as questionable on the team's injury report ahead of Week 9 versus the Baltimore Ravens. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Walker is worth a TE1 start if he plays, but he will carry some risk. If Walker is inactive, rookie Jonnu Smith could be a sleeper in deeper leagues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [TEN - WR Corey Davis cleared for Week 9](=) Source: TitansOnline.com - Jim Wyatt Tennessee Titans WR [Corey Davis]( (hamstring) practiced again without incident Friday, Nov. 3, and will return to the field following a five-game absence in Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Davis is a boom/bust WR3 this week as the Titans gave him a big role in Week 1 despite missing most of the preseason and camp with his hamstring issue, so they could give him a big role if the hamstring tests out well early in the game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [WAS - TE Jordan Reed ruled out]() Source: Redskins.com Washington Redskins TE [Jordan Reed]( (hamstring) will not play in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Niles Paul is also out, leaving Vernon Davis as the only top three Washington tight end to be able to go on Sunday. Davis is a good bye week fill-in and could be a Top 10-12 fantasy tight end for as long as Reed is out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [MIA - Miami to face decimated secondary]() Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Josh Alper Miami Dolphins WRs [DeVante Parker](, [Jarvis Landry]( and [Kenny Stills]( will head into Week 9 in a favorable spot as the Oakland Raiders ruled out CBs David Amerson (foot), Gareon Conley (shin) and Demetrius McCray (knee) on Friday, Nov. 3. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jay Cutler should also get a lot of pass attempts and have the offense go through him with Jay Ajayi traded to Philadelphia. He's a viable bye week coverage option, as are Stills and Parker, even though it's Parker's first week back from an ankle injury. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [DEN - WR Emmanuel Sanders questionable for Week 9]() Source: The Denver Post - Nicki Jhabvala Denver Broncos WR [Emmanuel Sanders]( (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report for Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Sanders is fully expected to play and should get a lot of targets against an Eagles defense that is very tough on the run and usually draws higher than average pass attempts. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [BUF - TE Charles Clay due back in Week 10](=) Source: WGR Sports Radio 550 - Sal Capaccio Buffalo Bills TE [Charles Clay]( (knee) is 'on track' to return after missing the last three games with a knee injury he suffered in Week 5, according to WGR Sports Radio 550's Sal Capaccio. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] With the return of Clay and addition of Kelvin Benjamin, the Bills passing game should be improved against the Saints next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [WAS - WR Jamison Crowder unable to go Friday](=) Source: The Washington Post - Master Tesfatsion Washington Redskins WR [Jamison Crowder]( (hamstring) was unable to practice Friday, Nov. 3. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Crowder is a game-time decision at best, and playing in a late game on Sunday. You probably shouldn't wait around for him unless you have no other option. Ryan Grant should play in the slot and lead the underachieving Washington wide receiver group in targets and receptions. Terrelle Pryor and Josh Doctson should also get on the field more this Sunday, but against a tough Seahawks pass defense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [JAX - WR Marqise Lee practices Friday]( Source: FirstCoastNews.com - Mike Kaye Jacksonville Jaguars WR [Marqise Lee]( practiced Friday, Nov. 3 and is expected to play in Week 9 versus the Cincinnati Bengals despite being listed as questionable on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Preseason sensation Dede Westbrook will return from injured reserve this week, but it appears Lee will play and relegate Westbrook to the #3 role for now. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [DET - RB Ameer Abdullah hoping for more red zone work](=) Source: Detroit Free Press - Dave Birkett Detroit Lions RB [Ameer Abdullah]( recently told reporters while he has no plans to ask Otis for a bigger role in the red zone, he is more than willing to help the team improve on its last-place ranking in short-yardage conversions (33.3 percent conversion rate on third- and fourth-and-1, far below the NFL average of 66.5 percent). [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Abdullah has a decent matchup against a Packers defense that has been giving up a lot to opposing running backs since Aaron Rodgers went out. He might be worth a flex play this week with six teams on bye. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [ARI - RB Adrian Peterson to be featured]( Source: AZCardinals.com - Kyle Odegard Arizona Cardinals RB [Adrian Peterson]( is expected to be featured in Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers. 'Feed the beast,' offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin said of Peterson. 'It's like an old stove. The more wood you put in it, the hotter it gets. We've just got to make sure we feed him the ball so he can get comfortable.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Peterson is a borderline RB1 this week with six teams on bye and a very favorable matchup against the 49ers banged up defense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [NYG - Six Giants out, one questionable](=) Source: The Star-Ledger - Dan Duggan New York Giants LB B.J. Goodson (ankle), LB Jonathan Casillas (neck), DE Olivier Vernon (ankle), DE Kerry Wynn (knee), OT Justin Pugh (back) and C Weston Richburg (concussion) are out for Week 9. CB Donte Deayon (ankle) is questionable. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Giants were already one of the weaker teams in the league at linebacker. Missing two key contributors makes the positive matchup for tight ends even better. Vernon has been out since Week 5, weakening the pass rush and overall quality of the defense. The outlook is good for the Rams offense this week, especially when factoring in Giants #1 corner Janoris Jenkins' suspension. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [NYJ - WR Robby Anderson scores TD](=) Source: ESPN.com New York Jets WR [Robby Anderson]( caught four passes for 48 yards and a touchdown during the team's 34-21 victory over the Buffalo Bills Thursday, Nov. 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Anderson's burst in his route and a good throw from Josh McCown created his second score in two weeks. He's at least viable bench depth, and possibly even worth a WR3/Flex start against the Bucs next week.
