  • 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 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 during the Week 10 matchup against the Lions.

  • 49ers' Brian Robinson: Best game with San Francisco

    Robinson took five carries for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants. He also returned a kickoff for 41 yards.

    Robinson turned in his best performance as a member of the 49ers on Sunday, setting a new season high in rushing yards while punching in his first touchdown of 2025. The 26-year-old backup was still limited to single-digit touches (five) and snaps on offense (nine), so managers shouldn't overreact to what might end up being his best fantasy score this year. Expect Robinson to receive a handful of carries behind every-down starter Christian McCaffrey in a pivotal NFC West matchup against the Rams next Sunday.

  • Treylon Burks WR | WAS

    Commanders' Treylon Burks: One catch in Commanders debut

    Burks caught his only target for 14 yards during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

    The 2022 first-round pick from Arkansas was elevated from the Commanders' practice squad to the active roster to ensure depth at wide receiver, as both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) were sidelined Sunday. Burks played 33 offensive snaps and operated as Washington's No. 4 wideout, finishing as the team's fifth-leading receiver. He's likely to remain on the Commanders' active roster for the Week 10 matchup against the Lions, as McLaurin and Brown appear unlikely to return.

  • Kaleb Johnson RB | PIT

    Steelers' Kaleb Johnson: Limited to two touches in win

    Johnson rushed once for four yards while securing his lone target for nine yards during Sunday's 27-20 win over Indianapolis.

    Johnson didn't see any playing time in the Steelers' last two games, but he was on the field for five offensive snaps against the Colts. While it was encouraging to see him record a couple of touches, he remains firmly behind Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell on the depth chart.

  • Chris Moore WR | WAS

    Commanders' Chris Moore: No catches again Sunday

    Moore was not targeted despite playing 48 of the Commanders' 65 offensive snaps during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

    Despite playing the most snaps of any Commanders wideout during Sunday's blowout loss, Moore was held without a catch for the second consecutive game. The veteran from Cincinnati has now appeared in eight contests this season, tallying eight receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown over 246 offensive snaps. Although he will likely continue to see the field due to Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) both being sidelined, Moore doesn't carry much fantasy value heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Lions.

  • Jaylin Lane WR | WAS

    Commanders' Jaylin Lane: Solid performance in Week 9

    Lane caught three of five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

    Lane played 41 offensive snaps and served as Washington's No. 3 wideout while Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) were sidelined in Week 9. The rookie from Virginia Tech tied his career high with three receptions and finished as the Commanders' third-leading receiver Sunday. He also contributed on special teams, returning two punts and one kickoff for 41 total yards. Following Sunday's performance, Lane's offensive role could continue to grow heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Lions.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Minimal output in loss

    McNichols rushed once for no yards during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

    Coming off his best game of the season in the Week 8 loss to the Chiefs, McNichols tallied his lowest yardage total of the year in Week 9. The veteran running back was also held without a catch Sunday for the first time since the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Raiders. Over nine appearances this season, McNichols has tallied 272 yards and one touchdown on 29 touches. He's expected to remain the Commanders' top reserve RB in the Week 10 matchup against the Lions.

  • Deshaun Watson QB | CLE

    Browns' Deshaun Watson: Not ready to practice

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Watson (Achilles) won't have his 21-day practice window opened this week, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Stefanski noted that he had no update on the status of Watson, though the lack of new information isn't necessarily a sign that the quarterback has experienced any sort of setback. Watson was always expected to be in line for a lengthy rehab process from the right Achilles tendon tear he sustained last October and then subsequently re-ruptured, which required a second surgery Jan. 9. Once Watson completes his rehab and advances to the point in his recovery that he's ready to practice, the Browns should have a better idea regarding whether the veteran signal-caller has a realistic chance at playing in games late in the 2025 season.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Getting rib checked out

    Head coach Sean McVay said that Nacua is scheduled to have a scan on the rib injury he sustained in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints, but the Rams remain "optimistic" that the wideout won't miss any time, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    McVay's comments essentially echo what he said following Sunday's win, when he suggested that Nacua could have returned to the contest after exiting in the third quarter but ultimately remained on the sideline for the rest of the game while the Rams were sitting on a comfortable lead. Nacua's scan appears to be precautionary in nature, though even if the results reveal nothing concerning, the star receiver's practice participation could still be affected leading up to next Sunday's game at San Francisco.
