Skyy Moore WR | SF
49ers' Skyy Moore: Busy day returning kicks
Moore had one reception for 21 yards while returning five combined kicks for 85 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.
Moore played a role in the field position game for the 49ers after running back five of his six return opportunities Sunday. The return specialist set a new personal high with a 21-yard reception in the win, but it was also just his third catch (on five targets) in eight appearances this season. Moore's minimal involvement on offense keeps him out of the fantasy picture in standard formats for next Sunday's tilt versus the Rams.

Andre Cisco SAF | NYJ
Jets' Andre Cisco: Done for the season
Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Monday that Cisco (pectoral) will miss the remainder of the season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The Syracuse product will undergo surgery after sustaining a torn pectoral in the Jets' Week 8 win over the Bengals, so it's no surprise that he'll miss the rest of the year. Cisco played 499 defensive snaps over New York's first eight games this season, recording 41 total tackles and one pass defended. Tony Adams is likely to step in and start at free safety while Cisco is sidelined.

Darnell Washington TE | PIT
Steelers' Darnell Washington: Logs 43 receiving yards in win
Washington secured four of six targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.
Washington totaled just two receiving yards over his previous two appearances, but he led the Steelers' tight ends in playing time and receiving yards during Sunday's Week 9 win. While his performance against the Colts was encouraging, Washington hasn't been a particularly consistent contributor this year as he's split playing time with Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth. Over eight appearances to begin the regular season, Washington has secured 13 of 20 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown.

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 win over 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.

Demarcus Robinson WR | SF
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's safe to say that Robinson has been a poor fit in San Francisco. The 49ers will host Robinson's former club, the Rams, on Sunday, but the veteran's lack of involvement dampens any excitement over a potential "revenge game" Week 10.

Shedeur Sanders QB | CLE
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.

KeAndre Lambert-Smith WR | LAC
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.
