Moss is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Moss who was traded from the Bills along with a conditional 2023 sixth-round pick on Tuesday in exchange for Nyheim Hines, will sit this one out, with Deon Jackson, Phillip Lindsay and Jordan Wilkins slated to handle the Colts' Week 9 backfield duties, given that top back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is inactive.

Harris (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

With Harris unavailable, Rhamondre Stevenson should be in line to see a heavy workload versus Indianapolis on Sunday, while Pierre Strong and J.J. Taylor are on hand to work in complementary roles. The Patriots are on bye next week, so Harris' next chance to see game action will occur on Nov. 20, when the team hosts the Jets.

Swift (ankle/shoulder) is listed as active Sunday against the Packers.

While Swift is healthy enough to play, the Lions are taking a cautious approach with their No. 1 running back as he continues to tend to ankle and shoulder issues. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Swift likely will handle a role similar to his Week 8 workload, when he played 52 percent of the offensive snaps and notched 10 touches for 33 yards from scrimmage and a receiving TD. As a result, Jamaal Williams, who tallied 76 total yards and two rushing scores last Sunday versus the Dolphins, again may be on the better end of Detroit's backfield breakdown for fantasy purposes Week 9.

Robinson (knee) is active Week 9 against the Bills.

Robinson was a late addition to this week's injury report and at one point considered a true game-time call, but reports from Sunday morning indicated the team had optimism its newly-acquired running back would make it on the gameday roster. That will be confirmed with the official inactives report, which clears Robinson to contribute as much as his health will allow. He'll still be serving behind presumed starter Michael Carter, and it's also worth noting the Bills are one of the toughest defenses against opposing running backs this season. Buffalo has only allowed one touchdown to opposing backs all year and is giving up the third-fewest fantasy points per game to RBs in standard scoring formats.

The Cardinals plan to test Conner (ribs) out during pre-game warmups, with Adam Schefter of ESPN indicating that the running back is likely to play Sunday against the Seahawks.

Conner is officially listed as questionable for the contest after practicing in a limited fashion this week, with his Week 9 status set to be confirmed either way when the Cardinals' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 4:05 ET kickoff. Eno Benjamin and Keaontay Ingram are on hand to log added snaps Sunday if Conner experiences any setbacks in warmups or in-game (if active).

Robinson (knee) is in line to play Sunday against the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Prior to his trade from the Jaguars to the Jets on Oct. 24, Robinson was dealing with a sore knee, according to his old coach Doug Pederson. But Robinson avoided Week 8 practice reports with his new team and suited up last Sunday versus the Patriots, turning a 21 percent snap share into five carries for 17 yards. He did the same during Week 9 prep until the Jets added him to the report Saturday as questionable due to a knee injury. Assuming he's active Sunday, as expected, Robinson seems destined to play second fiddle to Michael Carter out of the backfield, with Ty Johnson also on hand for lingering RB reps.

Drake is expected to replace Gus Edwards (hamstring) -- who is listed as doubtful -- as Baltimore's lead option on the ground in Monday's game against the Saints, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

After Edwards exited early in the Ravens' Week 8 win over the Buccaneers with the hamstring injury, Drake stepped in to play 57 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps while finishing with 62 yards on seven carries to go with four receptions for five yards and a touchdown. In addition to his expected role as the Ravens' top ball carrier, Drake will likely continue to see some involvement as a pass catcher, though Justice Hill projects to have a role as Baltimore's main change-of-pace option. Even so, with Edwards likely out of the lineup and with six teams on bye Week 9, Drake looks to be a reasonable flex option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Williams may serve as the Lions' lead option on the ground in Sunday's game against the Packers with D'Andre Swift (ankle/shoulder) -- who is listed as questionable -- expected to play but only in a limited capacity, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

According to Schefter, the Lions are aiming to have Swift handle a workload similar in the team's loss to the Dolphins last week, when he played 29 snaps but took only 10 touches (five carries and five receptions). In that same game, Williams played seven fewer snaps, but narrowly outdid Swift in touches (10 carries, three receptions) while netting 76 yards and two scores on the ground. While fantasy managers shouldn't bank on Williams finding the end zone twice, the fact that he'll likely be serving as the Lions' top ballcarrier against the Packers' 29th-ranked run defense makes him a more appealing option than he might normally be on the occasions Swift has been active this season.

Robinson (knee) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Bills, but the Jets are optimistic about his chances of suiting up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Robinson is officially listed as questionable after having been added to New York's injury report late this week with a knee issue. After handling just five carries in his Jets debut last week, Robinson's status for Sunday may not be disclosed until the team's injury report is released approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight would stand to handle increased opportunities behind Michael Carter if Robinson isn't able to go.

Akers (personal) will be active for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Akers has been away from the team since Week 6, missing the Rams' last two games after expressing dissatisfaction with his role with the team and requesting a trade. After the Rams were unable to find a suitor for Akers ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, the running back rejoined the team Thursday and looks poised to suit up Sunday. However, the Rams have yet to determine what Akers' workload will look like, and it may ultimately be dependent on the flow of the game, per Schefter.
