Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught five passes for 39 yards and one touchdown in the Lions 34-20 loss to the Vikings in Week 9. Hockenson hauled in a late pass from backup quarterback Chase Daniel for his fifth touchdown of the season. Hockenson now has four scores in his last five games but the injury to starter Matthew Stafford could affect his value

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball eight times for 29 yards and added 14 receiving yards in the Lions loss to the Vikings 34-20 in Week 9. Peterson provided little from the backfield and basically has been passed on the depth chart by rookie D’Andre Swift. Peterson’s value exists in short-yardage situations in the red zone but otherwise is losing his fantasy

Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift carried the ball 13 times for 64 yards and added 33 receiving yards in the Lions 34-20 loss to the Vikings in Week 9. Swift led the team in targets and provided more in the passing game than veteran Adrian Peterson. It is becoming more clear by the week that the rookie running back will continue to siphon touches

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught only two passes for 38 yards in the Vikings 34-20 win over the Lions in Week 9. Thielen saw a team-high five targets in the game, which accounted for 25% of the team’s pass attempts as running back Dalvin Cook went nuts for 248 all-purpose yards with two touchdowns. Thielen has been a productive fantasy player this season

Houston Texans running back David Johnson (head) carried the ball just two times for 16 rushing yards and left the game after sustaining a concussion. Johnson looked like he was on his way towards a good game, then, unfortunately, took a hit to the head and had to leave the contest. His fantasy managers will have to hope that he clears the protocol in time

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught three passes for a team-high 64 yards in the team’s Week 9 victory over the Lions 34-20. The Vikings rode the excellent play of running back Dalvin Cook to victory as the passing game took a backseat in this contest. Despite the middling fantasy results, Jefferson has emerged as the most dynamic threat outside the numbers for the

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 13-of-20 passes for 220 yards and three touchdown passes in the team’s convincing 34-20 win over the Lions. It was an unspectacular air attack for Minnesota, leaning heavily on the 248 all-purpose yards from dynamite running back Dalvin Cook. But Cousins cashed in when given the chance in the red zone and now has multiple touchdowns in three of

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce put together another explosive game on Sunday versus the Carolina Panthers. Kelce was targeted 12 times in the contest and caught 10 balls for 159 yards. Kelce may be a tight end, but he holds the value of a WR1 in weekly leagues. Kelce heads into the Chiefs bye week as the best tight end in the game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill continued his strong season with two more touchdowns on Sunday. Hill was targeted 18 times and hauled in nine balls for 113 yards. It was Hill’s first game with over 100 yards receiving this year and he has now scored in all but one game this season. Hill will head into the Chiefs bye week with 10 touchdowns

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 22 times for 206 yards with two touchdowns and 46 receiving yards in the Vikings 34-20 win over the Lions in Week 9. Cook has been absolutely on fire and the Lions were his latest victim. Cook punched in his first score in the first half and then broke the game open with an electric 70-yard

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le’Veon Bell continues to struggle for his new team. The Chiefs were pass heavy on Sunday, but Bell was only able to manage four carries for eight yards and one reception for negative five yards. Bell hasn’t been impressive since joining the Chiefs and managers shouldn’t let go of him yet, but he should not be started until he can

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 19 of 32 passes for 281 yards and two scores. Watson averaged a healthy 8.8 yards per attempt and even added 50 yards on the ground in another strong showing against the Jaguars. The 25-year-old has been about as steady as they come this year- he has at least 250 passing yards and two touchdowns in each of his

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire posted another underwhelming performance on Sunday. The rookie didn’t have many opportunities to his defense and only rushed five times for 14 yards. He did salvage his day with three catches for 20 yards and a touchdown, but it was disappointing to see him do so little in a favorable matchup. CEH heads into the Chiefs bye week

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the fastest quarterback to throw for 100 touchdowns in Week 9 versus the Carolina Panthers. The Chiefs got off to a slow start, but Mahomes once again came through for fantasy managers. Mahomes tossed four touchdowns in this contest and was 30-for-45 for 372 yards. The MVP has been on fire lately and will head into a bye

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Jackson exited in the first quarter and had not recorded a carry or reception. If he’s unable to return, expect to see copious amounts of Joshua Kelley in his place for the remainder of the game.

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford exited Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings to be evaluated for a concussion. Chase Daniel is in at quarterback for the Lions and has already thrown an interception. If Stafford is ruled out, he’ll finish 23-for-32 for 211 yards with a touchdown and a pair of picks. Not a great day for the veteran quarterback or for the Lions, who

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the Ravens with a concussion. Doyle ends the day no catches. With Doyle out, the Colts will look to Mo Alie-Cox and Trey Burton more at tight end, but this offense has been spreading the ball around to far too many people this season for any one player

As expected, Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee, illness) will play against the Chargers in Week 9. Appearing on the injury list late in the week, it looked like Jacobs’s status could be in doubt, but he should be good to go. The Chargers Defense has struggled against opposing running backs, making Jacobs a low-end RB1 play due to his high volume each

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) has had his Week 9 status up in the air all week, but ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that Elliott had an “encouraging pregame warmup.” That seems to indicate that Elliott is trending towards playing against a strong Steelers Defense. With Garrett Gilbert starting at quarterback, the Cowboys will lean on whoever their starting running back is. Elliott’s presence

Houston Texans running back David Johnson has been ruled out for the remainder of his team’s Week 9 contest against the Jaguars with a concussion. Johnson joins linebacker Brennan Scarlet (arm) as Texans players who were ruled out of Sunday’s game. Johnson has been replaced for the remainder of this game by Duke Johnson Jr. at running back. If David Johnson isn’t cleared for next
