  • MIN Tackle #74
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    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.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #1
    That is, unfortunately, what it looked like on Sunday after Diggs limped off the NRG Stadium turf. Diggs will be a free agent after the season and will probably be looked at as a reclamation project as a 31-year-old rehabbing a torn ACL. For the Texans currently, Tank Dell will push into a more featured role in the passing game and will likely remain a fantasy WR2/3 even when Nico Collins comes back from a hamstring injury that has him on injured reserve. Dalton Schultz has also pushed higher in the target pecking order even if the lines aren’t impressive and will become a borderline TE1 until Collins returns. Robert Woods will likely be the main wideout, but splitting snaps with Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie III means you likely can’t trust a Houston WR2/3 until proven otherwise.
  • IND Quarterback #5
    Without much insight into how long this decision will last, it’s hard to know how much to make of it. Flacco and the Colts will head into Week 9’s game against the Vikings in a tough fantasy spot. Flacco should raise the fantasy floors of most of the Indianapolis pass-catchers as far as catchable targets, but losing Richardson may lose them some ceiling. Flacco will be a borderline QB2 in Week 9. Richardson should probably be regarded as a threat to get his job back, especially if/when the Colts are eliminated from playoff contention.
  • DAL Quarterback #4
    Jones during his Tuesday radio interview said Prescott, who has 10 rushes for 24 yards and a touchdown this season, is still capable of gaining yards with his legs. But the team would rather Prescott remain a pocket passer and avoid injury as a runner in the open field. Prescott once regularly rushed for around 300 yards and multiple touchdowns per season. At 31, he is strictly a pocket passer, limiting his fantasy football upside.
  • TB Wide Receiver #14
    “I mean, I think that’s best-case scenario, right? Like absolute best case. For all involved. Everything lines up. That’s what you kind of aim for,” Godwin said Monday night. He was carted off the field in Week 7 after suffering a dislocated ankle in the fourth quarter of a loss to the Ravens. He had 50 receptions through seven games and was trending toward one of the best seasons of his NFL career. It sounds like the Bucs would have to make a postseason run to get Godwin back in action this year.
  • PIT Wide Receiver #14
    Russell Wilson connected with Pickens on the team’s first drive for an 11-yard touchdown, which was called back for an offensive face mask penalty. Later in the first half, Pickens appeared to catch a nine-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone but review would overturn the score after it was revealed he did not get his second foot down before landing out of bounds. The highlight of the game for the electric alpha wide receiver came on a 43-yard reception down the left sideline on a dime by Wilson in the fourth quarter, setting up a field goal to push the Steelers’ lead to 11 points. It should come as no surprise that Pickens’ weekly ceiling is much greater with Wilson under center, and the two will have ample time to increase their on-field connection as they head to their bye week.
  • PIT Running Back #30
    Warren continued to play near-even snaps to lead back Najee Harris but lagged the latter in touches in another game the Steelers were able to control with their defense. That is likely to remain consistent moving forward until the Steelers find themselves in negative game script, in which case we might see a closer touch distribution between the two. The Steelers will have two weeks to prepare for the Commanders as they head to their bye at a 6-2 record.
  • PIT Running Back #22
    The yardage total marked the third straight game in which Harris went over 100 yards on the ground after failing to do so in the team’s first five contests. He out-touched Jaylen Warren 22 to 11 as he maintained a heavy touch-to-snap ratio, something that is likely to remain consistent moving forward in games the Steelers are able to control. Harris enters his bye week healthy and ready to contribute continuous RB2 value moving forward.
  • PIT Quarterback #3
    While he did not throw an interception for his second straight start in Pittsburgh, Wilson did lose a key fumble in the fourth quarter but T.J. Watt returned the favor on the following drive, collecting a strip-sack from Daniel Jones to give the ball right back to the Steelers. One of the aspects of Wilson’s game that the team had sorely been missing with Justin Fields under center is his ability to deliver touch-pass deep balls as he connected with alpha wide receiver George Pickens on another such pass for 43 yards in the fourth quarter. The Steelers improve to 6-2 with the win and are a perfect 2-0 with Wilson heading into their bye week. They travel to face the Commanders out of their bye in Week 10.
