  • GB Quarterback #10
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    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.
  • NYG Running Back #29
    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. That will likely go down as a DNP to start the week. 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.
  • NE Quarterback #10
    No surprise here as Maye left Week 8’s game against the Jets with a concussion and did not return. This will go down as a DNP when New England’s injury report drops. Maye is in the early stages of the league’s concussion protocol. Barring a quick return to practice, Jacoby Brissett will draw the start in Week 9 against the Titans. Brissett peaked at 168 passing yards in his five starts to open the year. No Patriots receiver can be trusted for fantasy purposes with Maye out of the lineup.
  • IND Quarterback #5
    It’s another strange twist in the Colts’ decision to bench Richardson for Joe Flacco and perhaps end his time as the team’s franchise player. Michael Pittman, meanwhile, said he found out about the Colts’ quarterback change while scrolling social media. Steichen made it clear Wednesday that Richardson’s benching is permanent. It’s a situation that could have been handled with more care by a head coach that’s almost certainly going to be fired at season’s end.
  • WAS Quarterback #5
    Daniels toughed it out in Week 8’s miracle win over the Bears, taking a handful of big hits and receiving treatment for his ribs on the sideline between drives. That he played in Week 8 very likely means he’ll be active for Week 9 against the Giants. Daniels had 226 scoreless yards in Week 2 against New York. Marcus Mariota would draw the start if Daniels can’t go.
  • IND Quarterback #15
    In other words, this is not a temporary benching for Anthony Richardson, who has struggled mightily throughout his second pro season, with only thee QBs posting a lower drop back success rate. Steichen said the team would not give up on Richardson, though it appears his 2024 season is over unless Flacco misses time. Asked if Richardson would ever again start for the Colts, Steichen said, “That would be great. We’ll see.” Flacco will provide a major boost to everyone in the Indy offense. An NFL personnel evaluator told The Athletic this week that the Colts would need to take a long-term approach to developing Richardson, 22. “It’s really hard to develop a quarterback who is so far behind in learning to play the position that he’s in frantic mode all the time,” the personnel evaluator said. “This kid is truly a project more than a developmental player.”
  • JAX Running Back #1
    Etienne has missed the past two games and the team doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to rush him back with far superior back Tank Bigsby working as the lead back. Etienne, averaging 4.1 yards per carry on 56 rushes this season, has been rumored to be a trade candidate. Perhaps the Jaguars want to showcase him this week against the Eagles before dealing away the third-year running back.
  • NYJ Quarterback #8
    Ulbrich said he wasn’t yet considering resting Rodgers for a week as he struggles through various lower body injuries. Rodgers said he’s addressing his knee and hamstring woes with cayenne pepper and water. After the Jets’ stunning Week 7 loss to New England, Patriots defenders commented on the 40-year-old Rodgers’ lack of mobility. Rodgers, who has the NFL’s fourth lowest drop back success rate in 2024, acknowledged he was hampered by his lower body ailments but hoped to get back to full strength later in the season. Tyrod Taylor is the Jets’ backup quarterback.
  • MIN Tackle #74
    Robinson is a former second-round pick of the Jaguars, playing in and starting 91 games in Jacksonville over the past eight seasons. He was benched in favor of Walker Little for the Jaguars’ Week 8 game and has been dealt to the Vikings, who are in need of a left tackle after Christian Darrisaw suffered a season-ending ACL tear last week. Though Robinson had been struggling this season, he offers reinforcement at left tackle as the 5-2 Vikings try to stay in contention. Robinson is in the last year of his contract and set to hit free agency at the end of the season.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #5
    Sure didn’t seem like a huge cost for the Ravens, though it does shake up their receiver room and make it hard to trust for fantasy purposes. Zay Flowers is hurt the most by the acquisition, as he was (by target volume) the uncontested No. 1 wideout. He likely slides down to the WR3/FLEX borderline due to the uncertainty. Rashod Bateman becomes a touchdown-or-bust proposition. For Carolina, Xavier Legette pushes into the FLEX conversation on target volume despite being on a bad passing offense. Jalen Coker also is rosterable in deeper leagues. It’s worth holding onto Diontae Johnson for the moment, but he may be droppable in most leagues if he’s not a big part of the Ravens offense after a week or two.
