Jared Goff

DET Quarterback #16

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jared Goff (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Goff didn’t sound concerned when talking to reporters after the practice and noted that he expects to return to practice on Thursday. He rolled his ankle while being sacked early in the Lions’ Week 8 win over Tennessee. Goff managed to play through the issue despite limping on the field at times and being checked out by trainers between drives. He should be good to go by the end of the week, albeit with a bit less mobility in his game for Week 9.
Lamar Jackson

BAL Quarterback #8

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Lamar Jackson was given a rest day on Wednesday.

Jackson was held out of Wednesday’s practice, but Harbaugh quickly quelled any injury fears after practice. Jackson will be good to go for his Week 9 game versus the Broncos. Despite the difficult matchup, Lamar will remain the QB1 overall in the Week 9 ranks.
DK Metcalf

SEA Wide Receiver #14

DK Metcalf (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Per The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar, head coach Mike Macdonald said he remains optimistic that Metcalf will suit up on Sunday. Metcalf suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain in Week 7 and missed the following week. This situation remains a waiting game for fantasy managers hoping to get Metcalf back this week. The star receiver will likely need to log at least one limited practice before returning. If he can’t go, Jaxon Smith-Njigba will continue to operate as a low-ceiling No. 1 receiver for Geno Smith.
Derek Carr

NO Quarterback #4

Derek Carr (oblique) returned to practice on Wednesday.

Per head coach Dennis Allen, Carr was on a pitch count at practice but did well and remains on track to play in Week 9 against the Panthers. He told reports earlier in the week that he was optimistic Carr will be able to return on Sunday. Allen also noted that Jake Haener will back him up. If all goes well, Carr will return to a high-end QB2 ranking versus a dreadful Carolina defense. Chris Olave will also vault to the top of the WR2 rankings after topping 100 yards for the first time this year in Week 8.
Dallas Goedert

PHI Tight End #88

Dallas Goedert (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Goedert has been out since suffering the hamstring injury early in Week 6 versus the Browns. He has yet to return to practice and looks unlikely to suit up in Week 9. Backup Grant Calcaterra has taken his place in the lineup. He has four receptions for 63 yards in two starts.
Bryce Young

CAR Quarterback #9

Panthers coach Dave Canales announced Bryce Young will start in Week 9 against the Saints.

Andy Dalton is practicing in full, but the Panthers are being cautious with his return. He suffered a sprained thumb in a car crash last week, forcing the Panthers the turn to the previously benched Young. The former No. 1 overall pick threw for 224 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. It was a rocky performance with a few more high points than usual but just as many mistakes. Canales said Young will make the start this week and the team will go from there, so it’s possible Dalton is back under center for Week 10. Young is not on the fantasy radar for his upcoming matchup with the Saints.
Jonathon Brooks

CAR Running Back #24

Jonathon Brooks (knee) is practicing in full for Week 9 against the Saints.

Brooks was limited in all three practices last week ebfore being listed as doubtufl. He remains on the PUP list as he works his way back from the torn ACL he suffered in his final season at Texas. The Athletic’s Joe Person previously speculated that Brooks could return in Week 9. Barring any setbacks, Brooks appears to be on track to make his debut on Sunay versus the Saints. Chuba Hubbard will preumably remain the starter, but Brooks will push him for touches out of the gate.
Andy Dalton

CAR Quarterback #14

Andy Dalton (thumb) is practicing in full for Week 9 against the Saints.

Dalton was involved in a car crash early last week. He was not hospitalized but did suffer a sprained thumb, forcing him to miss Sunday’s game against the Broncos. Bryce Young returned to the lineup with predictably disappointing results. Denver bludgeoned Carolina in a 28-14 win for the Broncos. Dave Canales didn’t commit to a starting quarterback on Monday. If healthy, Dalton will presumably return to the starting lineup. Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker will move up the wide receiver rankings with Dalton under center.
Jordan Love

GB Quarterback #10

Jordan Love (groin) did not practice Wednesday.

Love is dealing with a groin strain. He came up limping early in the Packers’ Week 8 win over the Jags but didn’t exit until being shoved to the ground in the third quarter. Love did not return. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Love is “determined to play” this week. Malik Willis will draw the start if he can’t go. Willis successfully led a low-volume passing attack to two wins earlier this year, so it could make sense for the Packers to sit Love for a week and let Willis make his third start.
Tyrone Tracy Jr.

NYG Running Back #29

Giants coach Brian Daboll said Tyrone Tracy is in the early stages of concussion protocol.

Tracy suffered the concussion late in New York’s loss to Pittsburgh and did not return. Per Daboll, he will do some work off to the side with trainers for Wednesday’s practice, officially beginning the week with a DNP. Tracy could return to practice later in the week and suit up on Sunday, but the odds of that aren’t high. Devin Singletary will likely get the start versus Washington in Week 9.
