This comes a day after Hall said he expects to play, so this news isn’t all too surprising. Hall’s return could somewhat complicate the Jets’ backfield situation on Sunday, however, as Braelon Allen has played well in Hall’s absence, making a strong case for more touches even when Hall is healthy. Glenn declined to get into how he plans to divvy up his running backs’ touches next week, saying “both guys will play,” when asked about his plans. This was already shaping up to be a tough fantasy matchup on the road against the Chiefs, but a potential backfield split would only further complicate matters. Until we see how things shake out, both Hall and Allen should be viewed as mid-to-low-end RB2s.

Wilson has not practiced this week and has now been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. Wilson has caught 43 passes for 527 yards and three touchdowns this season and saw 12 targets in last week’s loss to the Raiders. His absence means both Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper should see expanded roles, but both players will be hard to trust as anything more than WR3s against a stout Chiefs defense. In addition to Wilson, the Jets also ruled out LB Trevin Wallace (groin) for Week 9.

This certainly sounds like a scary situation for Henderson, whose absence has been the subject of speculation for nearly two weeks. Henderson said that the results of “comprehensive medical testing have come back positive and reassuring, but he continues to work with specialists and physical therapists. Henderson said these issues have affected his “strength, coordination, and some of [his] physical functions,” while adding that he is working to return to full health. While we don’t want to speculate too much, it doesn’t sound like Henderson will be back anytime soon. Hopefully we will get more clarity on his situation soon, but our thoughts are with him and his continued recovery.

Pickens has been limited in each of the Cowboys’ first two practices to start the week, which would seem to be a good sign for his Week 9 availability. We’ll get a better sense of where things stand when the Cowboys release their final injury report on Friday and give Pickens a designation heading into the weekend, but Schottenheimer’s optimism is a good sign. Owner Jerry Jones advocated for Pickens getting the ball more this week after Week 8’s loss to the Cardinals, so if he is active, the star receiver could be primed for a bit of a squeaky wheel game in a plus matchup against the Colts.

Watson has not practiced this week due to concussion symptoms he has been dealing with since Week 8’s loss to the Steelers. Unless he surprisingly clears concussion protocol this week, Watson will miss Week 9, paving the way for Shedeur Sanders to make his first start of the season. We will have official word on Watson’s status in a few hours, but at this point, it would be surprising if he does start.

Pelissero calls this a “potential complication in [Aiyuk’s] efforts to secure his release by reporting to the facility Friday.” While it’s possible both sides reach a deal for Aiyuk to pay back that money, which would make this a non-issue, Pelissero said this could also end up going to arbitration, which may delay things. Aiyuk is scheduled to report to the 49ers’ facilities today, so we could have our answer in the next few hours about when this situation is resolved and Aiyuk has been granted his release. Aiyuk recently hired Drew Rosenhaus with the hopes of being reinstated into the league and with a new team soon. The 28-year-old last played in 2024.

Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle did what he could to overcome undrafted free agent rookie Joe Fagnano under center, routinely putting Flowers in Motion across the formation to generate some level of misdirection for an offense with zero ability to attack downfield. That included three rush attempts and a completion thrown by running back Derrick Henry, but it wasn’t enough to salvage a usable fantasy week for the electric receiver. Fantasy managers can rest easy knowing help is on the way in the form of veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who was signed earlier in the week and will likely make his team debut when the Ravens take on the Chargers in Week 10. Flowers will return to upside WR2 range with the change at quarterback.

Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle did everything in his power to overcome an undrafted free agent rookie quarterback in his first professional start, going so far as to call numerous direct snaps to Henry and a Henry pass attempt, but it ultimately proved futile. Things appeared to be trending in the right direction as the Ravens played the Jaguars to a tightly contested game through the first 29 minutes before Parker Washington broke the game open with a 50-yard touchdown in the final minute before the break. Things got nasty for Henry after the half as he managed only two additional yards after bruising his way to 55 first half yards. Henry will return to RB1 status in fantasy circles in Week 10 when the Ravens take on the Chargers.

Both of Washington’s receptions came before the break, the second of which was a 50-yard touchdown on a double-move slant against Cover-0 with under one minute remaining before the half. Washington remains one of the most efficient receivers in the league but consistently positive game scripts have left the overall pass volume lacking, particularly in the second half this season. He remains an upside WR2 ahead of a Week 10 meeting with the Titans.

It was business as usual for Lawrence and the Jaguars, who won their eighth game by 20 or more points since the start of the 2025 season, the most in the league during that span. Lawrence looked sharp throughout, starting things off with a touchdown drive on their opening possession that was sparked by a 52-yard completion to tight end Nate Boerkircher. He would hit Parker Washington on a slant for a 50-yard touchdown in the final minute before the half to push the lead to 17-3, with a flurry of second half field goals enough to chase the reeling Ravens from the field. In standard Jacksonville fashion, positive game script capped Lawrence’s aerial volume, something fantasy managers have both gotten used to through the mid way point in the season and will likely see continue considering the Jaguars hold the league’s softest remaining strength of schedule. The win pushes the Jaguars to 6-2 and extends their lead in the AFC South ahead of a Week 10 meeting with the one-win Titans, where Lawrence will remain a back end QB1 due to lack of volume.
