Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller will try and build off a solid Week 8 performance this Sunday against the Titans in Week 9. Miller caught a season-high eight passes for 73 yards and now will face a Titans Defense that is allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing receivers. Tennessee has allowed 10 different receivers to post more than 60 receiving yards against

San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty was the team’s primary rusher in Week 8. He carried the ball 12 times for 29 yards and a score. This week, as the 49ers face the Green Bay Packers, Hasty is likely to be the team’s primary ball-carrier yet again. The 49ers have continued to be ravaged by injuries at the running back position.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II will have a fantastic matchup in Week 9 against the Titans. Through eight games, Robinson has 50 catches for 631 yards and three touchdowns as he prepares to play a Titans Defense that is allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing receivers. Robinson has at least 70 receiving yards in six of his first eight games and

The Seattle Seahawks and defensive end Carlos Dunlap agreed to a reworked contract as part of his trade from the Bengals, according to ESPN’s Field Yates. The restructure will give Seattle some salary cap relief and offers Dunlap a path to free agency after the 2020 season. The 31-year-old was making $7.8 million in base salary this year and the Seahawks would have owed him

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will go up against a Titans Defense that is allowing the 10th most fantasy points to running backs this season. It has been a dreadful start to the second-year back’s season, who is averaging only 55.25 rushing yards a game and 3.8 yards per carry. The Bears offensive line also has been ravaged by injuries and will be without

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens will be under center for the team on Thursday night with Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) sidelined. Mullens has been a mixed bag on the field this year. He shined in Week 3 against the New York Giants, throwing for 343 yards, but he followed the game up with a 200-yard, two-interception performance against the Philadelphia Eagles. This week, Mullens and

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 8 loss to the Saints, according to sources. Trubisky came in for a play in the first quarter, kept the ball on a read-option play and was tackled by linebacker Alex Anzalone. Trubisky’s stock has fallen drastically since he was benched in favor of Nick Foles in Week 3, and the one

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles will have an opportunity to get his season on track in Week 9 against a vulnerable Titans Defense. It has been a brutal stretch for Foles, who replaced incumbent starter Mitch Trubisky midway through Week 3 against the Falcons. Since that time, Foles has thrown seven interceptions and is averaging only 6.1 yards per completion. The veteran will go up

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan will take on a 49ers team in Week 9 that has been tough on the tight end position so far in 2020. Tonyan bounced back last week with 79 receiving yards, but he will face a 49ers Defense that is allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends. San Francisco has not allowed a touchdown to the

The Denver Broncos cancelled practice on Wednesday after a third positive COVID-19 test result in the last two days. Practice-squad tackle Darrin Paulo tested positive for the virus on Wednesday morning, prompting the team to cancel practice and conduct all meetings virtually. Since Oct. 17, Denver has had three assistant coaches, two front-office executives and two players test positive for COVID-19. The Broncos are scheduled

The Pittsburgh Steelers activated offensive guard Stefen Wisniewski (pectoral) from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. In a corresponding move, the Steelers placed linebacker Ulysees Gilbert (back) on IR. Wisniewski was put on IR after Week 1 and has missed the last six games. His return to Pittsburgh’s offensive line is great news for running back James Conner and the team’s running game. Conner profiles as a

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will go up against a 49ers Defense that is allowing the 11th fewest fantasy points to receivers in Week 9. Adams has played in only five games this season but already has 43 receptions for 502 yards and seven touchdowns. The Packers are heavily decimated at running back and their offense could revolve around quarterback Aaron Rodgers connecting

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle), who hasn’t played since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. All signs are pointing toward McCaffrey making his return in Week 9 against the Chiefs. The 24-year-old was the No. 1 overall pick in the vast majority of fantasy drafts, so if he’s active as expected this Sunday, he

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have to compete with possibly a severely decimated backfield Thursday night against the 49ers in Week 9. Aaron Jones (calf) will be a game-time decision, A.J. Dillon has been placed on the COVID list and Jamaal Williams may also miss the game because of close-contact protocols. This leaves the offense in the hands of Rodgers up against a

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) was essentially a full participant in the team’s walk-through practice on Wednesday while wearing a cast on his left hand. The Buccaneers won’t know until Friday if Godwin can actually catch passes with his surgically repaired finger. That doesn’t sound very encouraging for Godwin’s chances of playing, at least effectively, on

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee), who suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in the first quarter of the Week 7 win over the Bengals, will have surgery early next week, according to general manager Andrew Berry. Beckham caught 23 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns while also running the ball three times for 72 yards and another touchdown in

The Dallas Cowboys Defense was actually good (in fantasy, at least) in Week 8 against the Eagles, but that seems highly unlikely to be the case in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While they were able to force four turnovers from Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz in Week 8, the Steelers will almost certainly be more careful with the football this week. The Cowboys defense

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is not a strong kicking option in Week 9 fantasy lineups. Zuerlein did well in Week 8, nailing three field goals including one from 59 yards out, but with the Cowboys expected to struggle even more at moving the ball against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers, Zuerlein may not get those kinds of chances. For the season, he’s made 13 of

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz faces a tough matchup against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Besides all of the struggles of a Cowboys offense that will now turn to their fourth starting quarterback of the season, the Steelers Defense also limits opposing tight ends very well. Schultz could still see more than a few looks, as struggling quarterbacks tend to look for

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson is not a recommended fantasy starter in any Week 9 fantasy lineups. Wilson has his occasional huge weeks, but they are almost always unpredictable. With either Cooper Rush or Garrett Gilbert making the start at quarterback in Week 9 against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers, this certainly does not have the makings of a random big week for Wilson. He
