  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: 'Positive news' regarding shoulder

    Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Jones' right shoulder is "sore" following Sunday's 27-24 loss at Detroit, but the Vikings received "positive news early on" and will see if the running back can increase his activity level as the week goes on, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Jones thus seems to have a chance to play this coming Sunday against the Ravens after suffering what he described as an AC joint sprain Week 9, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Jones was running well before exiting in the third quarter, racking up 98 yards from scrimmage on 11 touches, while fellow RB Jordan Mason accounted for 11 touches for 37 total yards. Wednesday's injury report may provide a baseline for Jones as he seeks to miss no additional time.

  • 49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Continues to disappoint

    Robinson finished with no receptions on one target in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.

    Robinson was on the field for 33 percent of the offense's snaps Sunday, finishing third behind starters Jauan Jennings (79 percent) and Kendrick Bourne (73 percent). The 30-year-old Robinson failed to capitalize on a prime opportunity to fill in as the 49ers' slot receiver in a cushy matchup, instead he was held without a catch for the second time in the last three weeks. With just eight receptions in six active games, it is safe to say that Robinson has been a poor fit in San Francisco. The 49ers will host Robinson's former club, the Los Angeles Rams, on Sunday, but the veteran's lack of involvement dampens any excitement over a potential "revenge game" in Week 10.

  • Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Still dealing with back injury

    Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Sanders is still dealing with a back injury but is getting better, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    The rookie quarterback was inactive for the Browns' Week 8 loss to the Patriots due to a back issue, and it now appears he's still dealing with the injury coming out of the Week 9 bye. Sanders' practice participation throughout the week will likely offer the best indication of his availability for the Week 10 matchup against the Jets. If active, the Colorado product is expected to serve as the primary backup to fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Finds end zone in victory

    Freiermuth secured three of four targets for 27 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

    Freiermuth didn't practice Wednesday due to a quad injury but returned as a full participant a day later and didn't appear to have any limitations in Sunday's Week 9 win. He's had at least three catches in each of his last three appearances, securing 11 of 14 targets for 151 yards and three touchdowns during that time.

  • Jonnu Smith TE | PIT

    Steelers' Jonnu Smith: Racks up 25 yards against Indy

    Smith secured three of five targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

    While Smith saw a slight uptick in production during Sunday's Week 9 victory, he's still been held under 30 yards in each of his first eight appearances of the 2025 campaign. He was a strong fantasy option with the Dolphins last year, but his fantasy production to begin his time with Pittsburgh has been dependent on whether he reaches the end zone, which has happened on just two occasions in 2025.

  • Tre Harris WR | LAC

    Chargers' Tre' Harris: Catches two passes vs. Titans

    Harris caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.

    The 2025 second-round pick played 30 offensive snaps and hauled in both of his targets during the Week 9 win. His role on the Chargers' offense has slowly expanded as the year has progressed, and Harris has now logged far more offensive snaps than Keenan Allen (72 to 42) over the two three weeks. Expect Harris to remain involved heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Steelers.

  • Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Minimal output in win

    Lambert-Smith played five of the Chargers' 65 offensive snaps and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.

    The rookie wideout from Auburn contributed more on special teams than offense in the Week 9 win, returning two kickoffs for 49 yards. Lambert-Smith has appeared in six games and caught just one of four targets this season, playing 82 total snaps (58 on offense, 24 on special teams). He's expected to remain a depth option at WR while serving as one of the Chargers' top kick returners in the Week 10 matchup against the Steelers.

  • Scott Matlock DT | LAC

    Chargers' Scott Matlock: Scores first career TD in win

    Matlock caught his lone target for two yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.

    Matlock caught a two-yard touchdown pass from Justin Herbert in the first quarter of Sunday's win, marking the first score of his NFL career. The Boise State product also played 28 offensive snaps in Week 9, his second-most in a single game this season. Expect Matlock to continue operating as the Chargers' top fullback heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Steelers.

  • Roman Wilson WR | PIT

    Steelers' Roman Wilson: Limited workload in Week 9

    Wilson secured one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

    Wilson was the Steelers' leading receiver against Green Bay in Week 8 with a season-high 74 yards and a touchdown, but he was held in check a week later. He was held to single-digit yards for the first time since Week 4 while playing 47 percent of the team's offensive snaps, which ranked third among Pittsburgh's wide receivers. Wilson showcased his upside in Week 8, but he remains an unreliable fantasy option heading into the second half of the year, and it's possible that the Steelers target a wide receiver ahead of the trade deadline.

  • John Bates TE | WAS

    Commanders' John Bates: Logs 20 yards in blowout loss

    Bates caught two of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

    The Boise State product tallied season-highs in targets and receptions during Sunday's loss, finishing with the fourth-most receiving yards on the Commanders. Bates has now recorded five catches for 56 yards through seven appearances in 2025. He's likely to remain Washington's No. 2 tight end and continue playing behind Zach Ertz heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Lions.
