Burrow’s excellent run of play continued against the Falcons defense in Madrid in Week 9. The 29-year-old signal caller has amassed 16 passing touchdowns in the last four weeks and added two more touchdowns on the ground. Burrow’s production is unsurprisingly coming from playing through his top wide receivers as Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins combined for 187 yards receiving and all three receiving touchdowns against Atlanta. Burrow is likely to find himself on the shortlist for the MVP award the way things are going. He’s a locked in QB1 heading into a Week 10 matchup with the Steelers on Sunday Night Football, which airs on NBC and Peacock.

Wilson suffered a head injury last week and did not practice this week as he remained in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Look for Omar Cooper, Jr. and Adonai Mitchell to see more routes and targets against a tough KC secondary. Mitchell is likely to function as the team’s top wideout with Wilson sidelined.

Pickens played through the issue last week but will ultimately be held out in Week 9. Tight end Jake Ferguson is active after failing to practice until a limited showing Friday. Ryan Flournoy steps into a featured role for the Cowboys against the inside-funnel Colts defense. Fantasy managers can insert Flournoy into rosters as a viable FLEX considering he leads the team in slot rate through the first half of the season. Also inactive for the Cowboys are LB DeMarvion Overshown, WR KaVontae Turpin, CB Joey Porter Jr., LB Tyrus Wheat, OL Ajani Cornelius, and TE Luke Schoonmaker.

St. Brown was limited in practice throughout the week. He has a knack for getting it out through injuries and will do so again today. Even at less than full strength, St. Brown shouldn’t face much resistance from Miami’s weak secondary. He remains a top-end WR1 for his Week 9 game in South Beach.

Per Rapoport, Jackson has already told his teammates he plans to return this season. While even the short end of that timeline would only have Jackson back in Week 15, it’s an optimistic turn of events for a quarterback who was previously expected to miss the rest of the season. At a nine-week return, Jackson would need Baltimore to make the playoffs to have a shot at returning this year. Jacoby Brissett will likely close out the fantasy season as Baltimore’s starting quarterback, but there’s a chance we get Jackson back for a final game or two in the regular season.

The timing of the transaction is curious after Robinson missed the previous two games with the injury, potentially signaling a setback in his recovery. Either way, Robinson will now miss the coming four games, at minimum, leaving Bijan Robinson in a clear workhorse role in the immediate future.

Murray will likely be sidelined for multiple games after testing revealed a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Carson Wentz will draw the start under center while the team is reportedly exploring the trade market ahead of Tuesday’s deadline. The absence of Murray should benefit alpha wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who has struggled to develop chemistry with Murray this season.

The oft-injured Tyson hurt his hamstring in training camp and is yet to make his NFL debut. According to Schultz, he should be good to go Sunday against the Browns. A limited participant in practice throughout the week, it’s unclear how much Tyson might play in his first game. Eventually, though, he should settle in as the Saints’ WR2 behind Chris Olave. Tyson’s return also puts a damper on the fantasy prospects of Devaughn Vele and Juwan Johnson.

No surprise here as Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Garrett is expected to play in Week 9 against the Commanders. The Rams are 4-4, but will finally have Garrett and Aaron Donald on the same defensive line. That could cause problems for opposing offensive lines, starting with Washington’s on Sunday.

Pelissero reiterated that Lock looked good in practice and will start against the Cardinals in Week 9. Still, Lock has been dealing with this since earlier this season and at one point wasn’t able to throw because of it. Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said earlier this week he didn’t know how much Lock will be able to throw. Despite his play in relief of Sam Darnold (quad/ribs) earlier this year, Lock isn’t a priority in 1QB leagues. Jalen Milroe could even be worth stashing in deeper formats given that Lock’s tendonitis could flare up at anytime.
